Blah Blah Blogs: My 2016 Vote Goes To...

As election is near, I would like to voice out my personal choices for the upcoming elections. And it was a very toxic campaign season for all of us. From all of the news, debates, sorties, and interviews of the candidates, the choice was not an easy task for me, as well as others who was affected by the propaganda, jingles, and all things related to the elections.

But finally after giving much thought and discernment, I finally came up with my final decision for both president and vice president. At first I had three choices for president, Santiago, Duterte, and Poe. With the debates I have watched, I was able to justify their importance as a leader. All of them have good traits that I am looking for, but there is also issues that also needs to be addressed.

Remembering FPJ through Grace Poe

THE FIGHT CONTINUES

The man who was “FPJ” is gone, but his legacy lives on.

FPJ is "Da King" of Philippine cinema. His life story, as well was the stories that he tells in his movies, inspire, not only because they tell of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, which are conquered by pure and honest intentions and unwavering hopefulness in the goodness of the Filipino hero.

At an early age, FPJ’s father passed away, which forced him to drop out of high school, and carry the responsibilities of the head of the family.  He started in the movies as a stuntman, and worked his way up to being the “bida,” and would eventually earn the title of being the undisputed  “King of Philippine Cinema” or “Da King."

Throughout his struggles, he never forgot his humble beginnings.  He never forgot how it is to be poor and the poor always preoccupied his mind and ruled his heart.  He was naturally generous-hearted. He did not only give, he lived a life of giving.  He helped everyone, even those he barely knew.  Whenever he can help it, he would shy away from the camera.  This sincerity in giving a part of himself has endeared him to many, if not to all Filipinos.  He is not just a hero in the movies, he proved to be a bigger hero in real life.
