Election 2010 looms

In about 2 weeks, we are going to vote for another group of people who are going to lead this country for the next six years. We're not just voting for the president and the vice president, but also for 12 senators, our local congressmen, governors, mayors and councilors. Whew! That's a long list!

As usual, we hope that the chosen ones would not fail us but would really, really prove to be strong leaders who take their responsibilities to serve their constituents seriously. We hope that we've seen the last of politicians who promise the sun, the moon and the stars when they are still courting votes but forget all about those promises once they've been installed in position. We hope they are sincere. Like say, bpi training for candidates who claim to be environmentally aware and friendly -- I mean, they should know what they're talking about and not just talk about something just because it's the stand that's popular.

Let's pray for a successful election in which the leader that we need will eventually emerge the winner.
