The airing news about the national election detained me at home. Being a non-voter (who has yet to participate on any of the voting exercises since I reached the legal age), many reprimanded me for not carrying out this so-called civil privilege.
Raised from a very controversial state university, I was used to seeing same faces of demonstrators at the school quadrangle everyday. Together they expressed voice of disapproval for the government’s off beam actions. Those students-ruled-pickets embittered my standpoint towards every politician existing. No one would ever want to be piloted by corrupt officials anyway. I started questioning a more “undignified” right when exercised in favor of those people who primarily starve for prestige rather than public service.
Perhaps I’m wrong for not effecting every Filipino’s duty to choose the best leader, but then I deemed it more reasonable to set aside my own privilege than to let an unworthy legislator rule our country.
