Vote WISELY!

Today marks the end of the campaign period for the May 13, 2013 elections. It is now our turn as voters to decide on whom to vote into office. For this, we suggest that we all vote WISELY, that is:

W - Weigh each candidate's qualifications, track record in public service or as a private citizen, over-all personal competencies and dedication to the common good, and proposed programs if elected.

I - Inform yourself of national and local issues, especially the perennial problems of widespread poverty, unemployment, lack of development, and slavery to political dynasties.

S - Select your choice candidates who you think could really deliver, and list them down for easy voting on election day.

E - Encourage your family, friends and all the other people in your community to also vote WISELY.

L - Look and see. Be vigilant against cheating, violence, vote-buying, and all other sinister acts that may thwart the people's vote and popular will.

Y - YOU are the BOSS, and you are hiring people to run our government and even our very lives. Thus, you decide. And you alone decide.
