For the past few days (after the Barangay elections) I have been bombarded with insults of any kind from people who got ran over by my commentaries on their dirty politicking. They moniker me as Eskandalosa, Maledukada, Poor, Jealous, etc. I tried to keep my peace but to some reason my intellect was challenged over and over by some lowly reasoning. However, I will be blamed for their ignorance if I don't impart the knowledge I gained. I am amendable, however, to the fact that I will be a dirty bitch in their sight throwing mud at their "not-so-clean" images.
It is very hard to plant something into corrupted minds. But I still will sow the seeds of hope believing one day a seed or two will grow in this God-forsaken barangay and produce more seeds of redemption in the future.
My response:
Can you call it destroying a personality when the person's name is neither clean nor honorable? [By rule of LOGIC, "Nganong gubaon pa man kung guba na daan?"] Is it jealousy when the person involved only cares for what is rightly due to her? And is breaking the law honorable?
If so, cite to me every law in the Philippines that tolerate the criminal act of vote buying. Because I can support every statement I made Biblically and legally. Thus, it is not a matter of jealousy but upliftment of human dignity, rule of law and respect towards God.

I don't believe in a personality-based politics. Thus, DO NOT ATTACH ANY PERSON TO MY NAME. I am a slave to none but my self. I decide for myself and I just don't follow any politico. I have my own brain and I MAKE IT WORK. I am my own person, and I respect others the way they should be respected. I don't speak for my family, they have their own decisions to make. But as a concerned citizen who have a bright vision of the country's future, I will not stop until I accomplish my life's goal. And I am happy that there actually are those who believes in the visions and principles that I hold. That there actually are people who value their dignity and integrity. The biggest shame is to go to church every Saturday/Sunday praying for PEACE and LOVE but the core value of it which is human dignity is not adhered.
When you LOVE a person, you don't buy them. When you LOVE a person, you let them decide. When you LOVE a person, you respect their dignity. When you LOVE a person, you don't harass them or their family or their friends and relatives. When you LOVE a person, you see that person as a "divine" as he is created by the Divine Creator. When you LOVE a person, you will give them the service they deserve. When you LOVE a person, power and money is not the reason why you must be in position. When you LOVE a person, every cent of their taxes goes to programs and projects and not give them dumb ones like Discos wherein not all will benefit. When you LOVE a person, you use your HEART AND BRAIN and not your POCKET.
No one has the right to claim he is a Christian of a democrat when he don't understand the very basic concept of LOVE, RESPECT and HUMAN SANCTITY.
