Why I did not vote for Pichay, Cayetano, et al
- Alan Peter Cayetano, Antonio Trillanes, Aquilino Pimentel III, Benigno Aquino III, Genuine Opposition, Prospero Pichay, Senatorial Bets, Vicente Magsaysay -
I THINK that since the election is now over save for the counting we can now do a post-election evaluation. Maybe candidates can learn a thing or two from this.
I did not vote for Pichay because he apparently spent so much for his political ads. This worried me. Where will he get the money to recoup his “investments”? Also, there were so many ads that I feel it backfired. I got fed up hearing him promise that he dreams of fulfilling my dreams. But it seems the only way for him to do that is that I must first fulfill his dream of becoming a senator.
I did not vote for Sonia Roco because of her “para silang autistic” remark aired over national TV. That’s a very callous statement. She claimed in her apology that she was not poking fun at children with special needs. But the fact that she used the word autistic had hurt me. By the way, autistic is not the politically correct term. It’s “children with autism.” Because we have to see the child beyond his or her autism.
