VOTE SONIA ROCO FOR SENATOR

I have seen the campaign ad of sonia roco last night, big thing? Yeah it was. I have grown apathetic over her cause after learning that she is running under the genuine opposition. I would have preferred to see her running independently, but the obvious is indeed undeniable – our party is too small to stage a successful, well ran, national elections. My professor in legal writing last semester said that before the independent, highly respected, supreme court justices reach their present stature, they have to, at least once in their career, rub elbows with the right set of people to get nominated and appointed. Nothing wrong to see it narrowly because it is their performances in the judiciary that counts and not on the way they got there. But seeing it in a different perspective, I cannot doubt anymore that it is not power that corrupts people, but rather the system. Same thing goes in this election, if there is one person who shares the same perspective in life as that of raul roco’s that would be maam sonia. I would like to even believe that living together that long they both got to learn and embrace each other’s political point of views, and I believe that maam sonia carries with her the principles of aksyon demokratiko – women and children getting first priority in national resources, equal distribution of national wealth, free education, utilization of natural resource for sustainable development, honest and dignified government, youth empowerment for realistic standards of reform. But I guess one vital principle has to be set aside for the mean time, politics of non-compromise. I could not blame maam sonia for opting to run under the party ran by the exact person rsr fought in EDSA DOS, we learned to accept that our present system is not susceptible to an ideal campaign that we have ran last 2004 presidential elections. And I realized that broken promises from losing candidates are as worse as broken promises of winning candidates. It is reality that I have learned to embrace; learn to dance the music, only, dance it differently from the others. VOTE SONIA M. ROCO FOR SENATOR
