Just what really should be our basis for electing officials?
The media resonate commentaries, opinions that certain officials are the best candidates for certain positions, yet their winnability is doubtful. So these commentators and political pundits downplay these competent, potential candidates and set the minds of the viewers and listeners to settle for popular candidates.
Where is the logic in that?
Fow what reason/s do we elect people?
To govern, right? (!)
If there are competent, potential candidates, why shouldn't they be the ones to run and win elections?
Shouldn't their competence make them popular to gain enough votes to win elections?
Is competence not the primary reason people should be elected?
No wonder that Filipinos always see elective officials lacking.
That pretty much answers why they have been voted into office in the first place.
So, will Filipinos still settle for popularity?
Or shouldn't it be for competence?
