MANILA, Philippines – Complain. That’s what we do when things aren’t going right.
But we have far more power in our hands. Power we take for granted. Or worse – misuse.
In 2010, PPCRV said vote buying moved from retail buying (one by one) to wholesale – meaning entire barangays were selling their votes. Don’t sell your vote.
Others listen to gossip, knee-jerk reactions to what their friends and family say, names they hear and remember. Although neuroscientists say up to 80% of how we act is based on how we feel, stop and think before you vote.
Before we complain, think about how we got here – how we created the situation we want to fix.
Now, on May 13, we have a chance to set things right. To think about ideal situations and the people we want in a government we can trust.
We deserve the government we elect. That’s fundamental in any democracy.
Rappler, in conjunction with Smart Communications, Inc., created #PHvote to help you take the time to study how you will use your immense power: how you will vote. Every national candidate has a profile page and an interactive timeline. There are background stories and issues. There are debates on key concerns. There are places to ask questions. Know more!
Take the time to read and share so you can vote confidently. So you can vote smart.
#votesmart is about our belief in the future. We elect the government we deserve.
Dream better. Demand better.
You can’t do that until you start with what you know. And how you vote.
Don’t live with regrets. Stop complaining and do something.
See the future and make it happen. Use #votesmart to encourage your friends to do the same.
Remember, think and act – #votesmart. – Rappler.com
