THE REAL PROBLEM ARE THE VOTERS THEMSELVES

By Bayawanon

Fred Lim turned the CITY COLLEGE OF MANILA into UNIVERSIDAD DE MANILA and made it a tuition-free educational institution, established five hospitals in the city and made Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila a tuition-free university. He had also his own version of a DRUG WAR which was more effective than the current national leadership. Such a feat is very hard to be surpassed nor be duplicated by anyone who would lead the national capital.

I was so sad when the Manilenos rejected Fred Lim thrice for the mayorship of Manila since the caliber of leadership and service Lim could offer to the people is not just mayoral but actually presidential at its finest.

What did Erap has offered to the people of Manila when he was running for Mayor against Lim aside from his hundreds of millions of bucks and his blackened reputation as president of the Philippines? What did Erap do as Mayor of Manila for six years aside from siphoning its coffers?

Bam Aquino was the PRINCIPAL AUTHOR of the FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION ACT which the young people are now partaking but why did the majority reject him in the 2019 elections? Mar Roxas was the CHIEF ARCHITECT of the CHEAPER MEDICINES ACT but did the majority rejected him in the last two elections in which he participated? Does this mean that most of the Filipinos are ingrate nowadays?

Noynoy Aquino has made the Philippine economy kicking and alive and has established infrastructure projects despite the fact that he did not raise the taxes during his incumbency as president of the republic, but why is it that the people can only remember the glitches Noynoy Aquino's administration has made? Does this mean that the people are not politically logical currently?

When shall the people learn from their mistakes? Will they continue falling to the glare of money and to the tempting promises of the traditional politicians comes election time or will they seek better leadership by way of using critical thinking in choosing their leaders?

I do not know when would people learn how to choose a good leader. To me, it is not the fault of the leaders ruling ineffectively their constituencies, for the real problem are the people themselves who do not know how to chose their leaders who can lead them to prosperity, peace, justice and righteousness and not the other way around.
