He took a total of 4-hour.travel by motorbike and he has to come early for he can not leave his post at this moment.
They took 10-trip by bus and have to file leave on their work.
My brother and my nieces.
Practicing their right to vote.
Yeah, they can just make the day pass by and be just think of..."whoever won, nothing will change".
But...no.
They are just few of the hopefuls for change in Philippine politics. Not minding how far and tiring their travel.will be.
It is better to cast our votes to the ones we wanted to be our leader, and be hopeful than losing faith of change won't be coming and hasn't done our part.
*P.S. Just sad that SOME of those who complains a lot our government were the ones who seem don't practice their right to vote.

Yes, Reine, it is like that here, too. Those who complain the loudest are the ones who never vote, themselves. It is always someone else's fault when bad things happen, whether to them or to someone else.
Many people here believe that their votes don't count since the President is chosen by the electoral college instead of by the popular vote. They think that the popular vote would be easier to understand. (and really, that is true. It is easier to understand what is happening than the proxy votes rendered by the electoral college.) But to ensure the dumbest people don't pick the dumbest person running for president, the popular vote is out. (I still think it looks like the dumbest man running is going to win the election this year. Who would have ever thought Trump could win the Presidency of the United States? Not me!)

@Lucky15 SMH! I know. But the blame always falls on those who did their duty, doesn't it?
