My Lolo Isidro and the 2010 Election

I've been checking the pictures on my camera phone and saw the pictures I've taken last January 1, 2009 during the Torino's Annual Reunion. This was hosted  my Mother's younger sister, Mommy Let. That was the first time that I was able to see a picture of my Grandfather. My Lolo Isidro died in 1964 and I don't know what he looks like because my mom don't have any picture of him.

My Lolo Isidro became our town's councilor for two terms. I asked my mom why he isn't wearing an all white suit just like others during the inauguration and my mom said that they cannot afford to have one. He don't even have the money to finance the campaign, good thing that he has lots of friends and acquaintances who believe in him and help him won the election.


A year from now, May 10, 2010 to be exact, the Philippines will held its National and Local Election. As early as now, you can easily identify people who will run for public office (again?!). They are so visible on television shows/commercials, billboards and other social events. I just hope that who ever wins the election in any position will be a public servant and not just a politician.
