Thanks You...Bangon Pilipinas

      To those who gave their unconditional support to Bro. Eddie's candidacy and to the rest of Bangon Pilipinas candidates, I would like to thank and salute you all.
         From the very beginning we knew the odds and the great obstacle to present a man whom we trusted to embody our ideals and hope. It has been a great battle against the system and the established bureaucracy, and I am deeply saddened that we are not given a chance to truly reform the sad state of a morally declining government. I respect the voice of the people and sincerely believe that it had been the most peaceful and clean election we ever had. I know it is the choice of the true majority....despite reported election related crimes and apparent vote buying. Any ways…
        Thank you so much everyone who voted for my candidate and for expressing your voice in this election although a lot of you had suffered so much...
        I also would like to congratulate Mr. Aquino for winning the much coveted chair in the land. As Bro. Eddie conceded & said, we will pray for the success of your administration for the next 6 years to come. And I hope you will continue what you had promise during your campaign sortie. My first request if ever somebody from your supporter would ever get the chance to read this letter is to attend to the injustices the Arroyo government did to the Filipino people. They are still in power and sadly a lot of them appear to be getting back their position both in senate and; the lower house. God guide your action and decisions.
       Thank you so much Bro. Eddie Villanueva for answering the call of Bangon Pilipinas Party to run once again on this election. I'm happy that we shall have you more again in Jesus is Lord Church as our Pastor again....we are looking forward to hear your voice leading the church again and in helping to change the life of millions all over the world.
       God bless The Philippines.

CHANGE: The Election That Never Occur

   What happened was just a change of mask but the same face. There are a lot of competent individual who flunk the poll but nearly 90% incompetent non-performing officials where re-elected and mostly even garnered landslide votes. I thought the people wanted change? The politician themselves promised “PAG-BABAGO!!!”
     What is the real clamor that the masses were crying before the election? Do we simply want Gloria out? By the way GMA is The first and only president that was never elected but stayed in the office for 9 years. Do we want change simply because we want change? Change because we are tired of our miserable poverty and lack of opportunity? Do we want change because we want to have that chair in MalacaƱan too? We shout change from corruption to honest service.
    On the contrary, those people in position have another tactic and present “change” in a deceptive manner….They sell to the public a very powerful message that the only one who can solve corruption is the same people with experiences or the specialty on policy making. Experiences tell us otherwise that it merely scratches the itch and worse it also helps spread the disease.
    I’m not saying that we totally oust everyone from the government and replace them with new breed of social reformist. I suggest we become more discerning when it comes to choosing leaders. WE still chose leaders who can help us directly instead of looking at the big picture and consider the greater good.
    The real change I’m talking about is a change of heart. Where the real symbol of justice does not respect personality or institution.
    It’s an insanity to think there would be radical change when dynasties are prevailing. Is there democracy when very few family rules? That is monopoly of power and parallel to communism; where the intent is to protect the lineage and wealth.
   The culture of voting for a winnable candidate is like betting for a lotto ticket. Vote buying prevails over good platform.
