As Filipino citizens and patriots, we must exercise our right to vote primarily as a means to work for change. We want a country that is progressive; that allows us to dream and hope; where justice for all prevails; and, that protects our rights, our lives and our properties.
We must, therefore, vote only for candidates who
• sincerely care for us
• are capable of leading the Philippines to avenues of growth
• have already made significantly contributions to society as proof of their abilities and love of country
• live simply and honestly, who are courteous and industrious
One candidate who I believe embodies the above ideals is Alexander Lacson.
Alex Lacson not only wrote the inspiring book "12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country" but he acts, speaks and thinks as a man of virtues, a man of faith!
To know more about the man, kindly check out this link to read an article he wrote for the Philippine Daily Inquirer: http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20090102-180993/I-am-Filipino
To our friends who have not seen Alexander Lacson’s book, here’s the list of his “12 Little Things…” -- things we definitely can and should do:
1) Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.
2) Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.
3) Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy local. Buy Filipino.
4) When you talk to others, especially foreigners speak positively about us and our country.
5) Respect your traffic officer, policeman and soldier.
6) Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve.
7) Support your church.
8) During elections, do your solemn duty.
9) Pay your employees well.
10) Pay your taxes.
11) Adopt a scholar or a poor child.
12) Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.
Please treasure this opportunity to vote for someone qualified on May 2010.
Please vote for Alexander Lacson and encourage others to do the same.
