Electioneering!

"The hell he lost on the May 14 elections?" I said to my wife when her uncle run for mayor in our local town.
"You are saying that because YOU are not in MY SHOES!" she answered firmly.
"You are a regular-permanent employee of the municipality and yet, doesn't have security in the tenure of work???" I disapprove.
My wife is a Municipal Health Worker in our place and has been working around since 1997, yet, she is still maltreated and abused psychologically by the supporters of the incumbent. This is not new to the Philippine politics. Harassment comes before and after every election. Some are even bloodier where supporters get killed.
I don't know how long this dirty politics has been put into play, yet, the cards are still laid and noone dares to touch it to see and try to change the system.
I have been voting for almost 6 times now, yet, nothing has changed. Our sleepy town is still sleeping and those who promised so much while campaigning doesn't really want to do anything. It has always been their own self-vested interest that is being protected. The hell with them. If they really want to help the citizens, they can do it even without the office. There is so much to do in this sleepy town yet no one wants to start and take the first step in moulding it into a dream-made reality.
The gifted ones with the resources doesn't have the brains to conceive good plans for the better and for a long time. Plans made are always short lived, preventive and tailored to highlight their names even if it is the people's money that was used in a certain project.
What will happen now to my wife's job, I being a teacher, could only provide for 2 mouth to feed. In our family of four, we cannot afford to eat and dress the way it should be, if she lost her job because of this, I don't know where to get additional financial supplement for us. A realy crazy world, isn't it? Whatever!
