A blogger focused on what is going on in Malaybalay City, central part of Mindanao, Philippines, we give way to BukidnonOnLine.com for the Certified list of candidates for Malaybalay's City Mayor, Vice-Mayor and Councilors. As we went through the names, we were reminded of an earlier blog which pointed to the fact that one of the Mayoralty candidates is indeed a member of a clan. Be vigilant, fellow voters. Be very vigilant. We happened to see him "drink" with some of the city hall employees and my fear came back: could we accept a mayor with drinking habits?
The other candidates tell us, they have mustered the guts to do so, not because we heard about their achievements but because - again- their families have been engaged in politics all these years. Well, perhaps, they tell themselves, why not? So, fellow voters, be vigilant. Be very vigilant. Know who they really are, what are their intentions? Can they really do the jobs they are running for?
As a Malaybalayan myself, we are beginning to entertain the possibility of joining the political arena. This is one possibility we can entertain up to 2015. In the meantime, we remain "vote patrollers? Students of English 136, Education 138, Education 129 and NSTP 102, are you "vote patrollers too?" Do share your observations about some candidates in your town or city. We will look forward to your blogs and/or feedback to this call for educated vigilance.
