Failed
“The Filipino is worth dying for.” – Benigno Servillano “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.
This line was actually world famous. Well, who wouldn’t know him? But do you think what he said is still true at this point of time?
The first automated election was just held this May 10, 2010. Well, people expected some technical difficulties or some sort but thank God nothing happened. Well, something happened to tell the truth. It’s the first automated election in which people didn’t use their right to vote “wisely.”
Currently, Mr. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino is on top. There is already an 87% chance he would win if I may say. But let’s not talk about that. Let’s analyze a very small thing a bit deeper: why the heck is Ex-President Joseph Ejercito “Erap” Estrada on the second place?
Last January 17, 2001, the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue road was again filled with millions of people, better known as the EDSA II Revolution and lasted for 4 days. The reason for this revolution is to throw away the current president at that time, Erap, from his seat. Erap, seeing this united but peaceful resolution of the people, decided to step down from the seat on January 20, 2001, making Gloria Macapagal Arroyo the President of the Philippines.
Millions of people joined this revolution. Millions of Filipinos wanted to throw him away from his seat. But then, why the heck did he also get millions of votes from Filipinos now?!
Don’t get me wrong, I have NOTHING against Ex-President Joseph Estrada but can’t those people who voted for him see that those millions of votes that they gave him were actually just put into waste? Come on, the PEOPLE threw him away from his seat and now, those same PEOPLE are actually wanting to re-appoint him?! What the heck is wrong with you people? Are you trying to say to everyone else that, “Hey, we made a mistake on making him leave his post, let’s re-appoint him!” Are you trying to say that you actually wasted 4 days of your damn precious life making him leave his post?
I’m disappointed, really. Those millions of votes that he got would have been better off given to any of those other candidates. Did you dislike Noynoy? Then you should have given it to Gibo instead. Dislike them both? Hey, Gordon, Villar and the other candidates still exist you know. It’s actually better, rather than giving it to someone you threw away from the post.
Seeing these results, I wonder if Ninoy would have still said that world-famous phrase if he is still living now.
