For 3 years now, I have been thinking if I should enter politics.
Why?
Because I always knew that I CAN do something for those people who are really in need. I was thinking, as I see it, it is very easy for those who are in position to uplift the life of the people, AND YET THEY CAN'T DO IT!
Come to think of it, the cities have budget for constructing a large and beautiful municipal hall and yet they can't provide what the people really needed. Sometimes I ask myself, is a beautiful municipal hall really needed? Or is it just WANTED? Do we really need to show to others that our municipality or our province is wealthy via those huge and beautiful halls? Why can't we show that our place is wealthy because it does not have any squatters in it? Why can't we show others that our province/city/municipality is wealthy because everyone can afford to live a comfortable life? Is it really that hard to provide Jobs and Schools for the people? And yet they have the money to construct a monument, they have the money to build a coliseum and a sports complex. They have the wealth to provide the city a very costly street lamps and YET THE PEOPLE ARE DYING OF HUNGER, CHILDREN ARE OUT OF SCHOOL, SQUATTERS ARE EVERYWHERE!
Now, can anyone tell me, WAS THOSE LANDMARKS REALLY IMPORTANT? ARE THOSE REALLY THE NECESSITIES OF A PROVINCE? CAN THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS PROVIDE A LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO THE RISING NUMBERS OF POOR PEOPLE?
NOW TELL ME, ARE THOSE LEADERS YOU VOTED FOR LAST ELECTION REALLY DESERVE TO BE SEATED ON THOSE COMFORTABLE CHAIRS AND OFFICES WHILE MANY PEOPLE SUFFER?
NOW TELL ME, WHERE ARE THE TRILLION PESOS BUDGET OF THE GOVERNMENT? ARE THEY REALLY USED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE???
NOW, I am making my mind, if after 6 years, Should I enter politics to serve the people better?
