BINABATI natin si Liberal
Party standard bearer Senator
Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, III
sa magandang naging resulta
ng kampanya nito sa ginanap
na presidential election noong
nakalipas na Lunes.
Bagama’t hindi pa naipo-

makahabol sa ginaganap na
bilangan ang pumapangalawa
sa presidential race na si dat-
ing presidente Joseph “Erap”
Estrada dahil halos 5 milyon

Ang kinalabasan ng
ginanap na eleksiyon ay

Congrats Noynoy
Itigil na sana ang awayan
sa politika dahil dito nagsisimula
ang pagkakawatak-watak ng
mga Pilipino dahil bawat isa
sa atin ay may sinusuportahang
politiko.
Gayahin sana natin ang
eleksiyon sa America na
pagkatapos ng halalan ay
sumusuporta na lamang ang
natalong kandidato sa
nanalong politiko kaya’t
hanggang ngayon ay tinitingala
ang USA dahil sa katatagan ng
kanilang bansa.
Sa halip kasi na sirain natin
ang pagkatao ng politikong
tumalo sa sinusuportahan
nating kandidato ay tulungan
na lamang natin kung sinuman
ang nanalo nang sa gayon ay
dahan-dahan tayong umusad
insidenteng hindi inaasahan.
Noong pa man, sinabi ni
Monsod na naniniwala ang
LENTE na kayang labanan at
biguin ang hackers sa
anumang masamang tangka.
Kung nanindigan ang marami
sa manual elections, baka
hanggang ngayon ay nasa
proseso pa ng bilangan ang mga
guro at siguradong talamak
ang dayaan at patayan.
At kung mano-mano ang
ginawang halalan, baka hindi
pa batid ang nanalo sa halalan.
Baka ang bawat isa ay
kinakabahan pa at tiyak ang
batuhan pa rin ng
masasamang salita ng mga
kandidato at mga taga-suporta
ng mga ito.
Ang mga palpak na bahagi
ng halalan ay magsisilbing
gabay upang mapagbuti ang
susunod na halalan.

Thanks and congrats
CONGRATULATIONS sa mga nanalo sa nakaraang
halalan. Isa sa mga bagong karanasan para sa ating lahat
ay ang pagko-concede ng mga natalong kandidato, isang
araw lang matapos ang botohan.
Dati sa Amerika lang natin naririnig ang ganito, na maaga
sumusuko ang mga natalo at wala pa halos 24 oras na
natatapos ang halalan ay bumabati na sa mga nangunguna
sa bilangan pa lang.
Para sa akin ay
napakalaking hakbang ito
tungo sa pag-angat ng
kamalayang pulitikal nating
mga Pilipino. Sa wakas, wala
nang sumisigaw ng “nadaya
ako”. Sa wakas, sa halalang
Pilipino may panalo na at may
talo.
Kaya sa mga nanalo, congrats at sana ay panindigan ninyo
ang inyong mga pangako.
Gusto ko rin mag ‘thank you’ sa mga sumuporta sa aking
kandidatura, kahit pa masasabi na naging reluctant candi-
date tayo dahil sa kakulangan ng pondo sa kampanya. Sa
mga hindi bumitiw, sa mga naniwala hanggang sa huli –
maraming salamat.
Hindi tayo mawawala sa sirkulasyon ng pulitika kahit
bilang taga-masid at taga-ulat. Bilang taga-bantay at taga
sukat, taga-timbang ng ating mga ibinotong lider nang sa
gayon ay hindi makalimutan ng mga nanalo sa halalan 2010
ang kanilang mga pangako.
Ang isa sa mga dapat pa nating hanapan ng solusyon ay
ang mga nangyaring bilihan ng boto. Paano natin maiaalis
ang botanteng Pilipino sa madalas na pagkahulog sa bitag
na ito. Walang laban ang high-tech na bilangan sa bilihan
ng boto.
Dahil sa vote buying, moralidad ang inilalako, personal
na bentahan ng dangal, harapang pagbubugaw ng karapatan
na hindi siguro maiaayos ng kahit anong modernisasyon
ng eleksyon kung hindi ang tao mismo ang magbabago.
Pero hindi din natin dapat ipagwalang bahala ang mga
karahasan sa likod ng mga kwento ng bilihan ng boto.
Tulad ng mga kwento na ang ilang botante ay sinasadya
sa kanilang mga bahay ng mga armadong lalaki para pilitin
na huwag bumoto.
Matindi ang krimen na ito na dapat tingnan ng bagong
administrasyon para sa susunod na eleksyon. At kung totoo
na may mga halang ang sikmura na nakakuha in advance
ng mga indelible inks at binabayaran ang mga botante para
huwag bumoto at bilang kasiguruhan na hindi na nga boboto
ang mga tumanggap ng bayad ay lalagyan na agad ng in-
delible ink ang kanilang mga daliri.
Nakakagulat ang kaya at pwedeng gawin ng mga kriminal
na gusto lang maupo sa kapangyarihan. Kailangan ng ating
mga kababayan ng proteksyon mula sa mga kriminal na ito.
Samantala, ipadiwang natin ang kauna-unahang automated
na halalan. May mga dapat pang ayusin pero sa kabuuan
ay tagumpay ang bayan.

When I have asked suffering people, “Who helped
you?” not one person has mentioned a PhD from a
prestigious seminary or a famous philosopher. All of
us have the same capacity to help those who hurt.
No one can package or bottle the “appropriate”
response to suffering. If you go to the sufferers them-
selves, some will recall a friend who cheerily helped
distract them from their illness. Others think such an
approach insulting. Some want honest, straightfor-
ward talk; others find such discussion unbearably
depressing.
