Be one.

The 2010 elections are coming (as if too much television commercials and project banners from everywhere can't tell) and while some people think that vying for Erap this coming elections will do our country a good part- for the reason that well, at least he comes from the opposition- here are 3 reasons why voting for Erap favors Gloria and her people.

1. Estrada would only add to the scores of oppositionists who declared and manifested their intent to run. This further divides the votes against the administration and an administration candidate winning means that no legal prosecution against Gloria even after her term will prosper.

2. If the law would eventually allow Erap to vie for the presidency again on the premise that he is not a “sitting president”, it means that Gloria can again run after another regime. And the cycle goes on. Imagine how laughable our nation will be.


3. Even if Estrada wins, what will stop the Arroyo-appointees- dominated Supreme Court from issuing a post-election decision nullifying his electoral victory? This will be very chaotic and will rationalize Gloria’s declaration of a martial law.

So there. I am hoping more people will care and actually realize that really, every vote counts. It doesn't matter if half the population doesnt even care anymore or think our country is hopeless. What matters is there are still a few people who believes in the power of their vote. Be one.
