Now that election day is over, it is only now that I felt and realized how important this day really was. As all the TV ads put it - Ako ang simula. May magagawa tayo. Sa isang boto ko. Ang boto mo ay may dalang pagbabago. Ang mga ito ang mga katotohanang magpapalaya sa bayan. I'm not a registered voter, nor did I exert any effort to get registered in the first place. Watching all the people taking time and getting out of their way to go out, line up and wait under the scorching heat or acidic downpour for their turns to cast their vote ,hoping to make a difference. Voter turnout was good as reported in the news , the only drawbacks were machines bogging down and the slow voting procedure. Violence were as usual from the known hotspots.
Canvassing has already started and slowly yet surely, results are coming in. In this chaotic world of politics, people remain optimistic which gives up hope. May God bless us all.
