SIBUYAN HEAT
by Suico Ruado Romero
MONEY SPEAKS LOUDER THAN ACTION
In the recent election, we noticed that money is as mighty as a king, whoever money can buy money get to its side. Yes, money is mighty but politicians are more powerful; of course those who have the pockets. With proper management and initiatives there are assurances that a candidate will win the polls for as long as he/she gets the highest bid. Principles and good politics are now a nostalgia in our political exercise, the fact that we often reap disgruntled governance. More fact that not in a political chamber where there is the presence of the pros and cons we cannot expect a smooth sailing project for reason that when the majority go againts the minority you can't arrive in any realization of a good objective, more so if the mayor or governor belongs to the minority.There are religious group and media practitioners and some principled people who want to remain apolitical yet money is an intimidating temptation to man and woman. Irrespective of party affiliations our election of candidates is tracking such trend making money a vital factor for winning no man can never be a saint when he is enslave of money.I don't say that I am an angel but I will not admit that I am a devil. Nevetheless, whatever info Sibuyan heat is heralding the public let it be an affirming remembrance and give the legitimate winners a new beginning. Hence to all winners let it be known that kindness is the golden chain that binds society together, gone are the days of inflections, let kindness prevail and go on your visions, social adverse parties went no more and commence your noble tasks in God's favor.As the trend changes we cannot maintain in the good virtuous of yesterdays. Time enough that in early times we can validly say; Blood is thicker than water, but in times of election we observed, money is thicker than blood.With this process we experienced, time will come that a more conflicting future will happen if the government will adopt the full computerization of the electoral process in which by a mere touch of the computer keyboards will result to something different. In this election however, it is money and strategies of candidates that made the big winning difference in short, money speaks louder than action.Better luck next time, non-winners or prepare and mount millions of pesos in the bank before entering politics.
