This seems to be a Perfect Intro for a Telenovela worth watching. And the plot? The May 9th 2016 National Elections. You don't need to turn on your television, the show is happening on Social Media. Take your pick - drama, comedy, horror, suspense or action. Just scroll and click on a post! We have a full cast of Heroes and Villains along with their Avengers and Trolls. The amazing and at the same time annoying part is that everybody gets to make their own review of the show whether it is relevant or not.

We are entitled to our Freedom of Speech, and as we practice that right, we allow others to practice their rights on what we will say. Posting Political Opinions on Social Media is like putting yourself on a battlefield. It's either people will protect you or shoot you to death. It is not for the faint hearted, hard headed nor the prejudiced.

I sincerely hope the all of us will be responsible on how we post and react online. Everybody should respect the fact that not everyone share the same opinion. We should also not treat someone inferior just because they disagree on our beliefs. We should not be gullible and be easily drawn and share Satirical articles. We must rely on Proven Facts and most specially we should not force people to change their opinions. They have own minds and they make their own decisions - just like you and me.

Once the New Leaders are proclaimed, whether we voted for them or not. Let's give them a chance to prove their worth and pray they succeed on being positive leaders of our Country. We should not stop being responsible citizens because beyond this real life telenovela, is our Oath . We pledged to be Patriotic, Law Abiding and to serve our Nation Faithfully and Unselfishly.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei

God Bless The Philippines!
