Why do we need to choose leaders based on popularity? Unless Filipinos stopped treating elections as some kind of popularity contest - desired change in government will never happen.
2022 wannabes already declared their intentions, others still assessing their winnability, while some have lost their luster from their 2016 ill-timed candidacies.
The 2022 National Election is like a litmus paper. It is showing the kind of politicians there are in the Philippines.
Never should Filipinos go with rhetorics. They should look closely on what these wannabes have done while in office. what these wannabes have done while in office. This consideration should take 50% of their deciding factors.
The grassroot development initiatives of the wannabes should take center stage and not the propensity to be in the news for gutter style politicking.
The Filipinos are a proud race. Give your votes the dignity it deserve.
Politicians focus on perpetuating themselves in power.
Public Officials focus on initiating development in the community.
While one has to do politics to be a Public Official, those with the heart for the people restrain themselves from politicking once in office. They focus instead in finding solutions to the myriad of problems affecting the country. Positions are opportunities to help more.
For mere politicians, it is a stepping stone for higher positions. An opportunity to bring in family members and friends to create a network of power.
The very act of consulting others is a good indicator of a person's real intention/s.
Consultative Decision-Making Process vs Unilateral Decisions
A lot is at stake with the outcome of 2022 elections. The pandemic has shattered local, national and world - wide economies.
Government decisions which do not take into consideration the people's situation, are but a reflection of self-anointment.
It is time for the Filipinos to seek leaders who will want to know, actively listen and act favorably on common sentiments.
Nurturing vs Threatening
Yes, governments need strong leaders. Leaders who can make things happen. Leaders who can make people believe and follow their visions.
How one uses power is an indicator of what drives him/her most.
Governments exist for the people.
It is the institution on which people will feel protected, supported and provided for.
Respect instead of fear.
Inspiration instead of condescension.
Pride instead of shame.
