I am a Catholic who voted according to my conscience, informed by my values on truth, social justice, equality and most of all fairness.
For over several decades we saw the Philippines suffer injustices from corruption, indiscriminate killings, conscious indifference to the value and worth of human lives and a reversal of quality of lives for thousands due to Coronavirus.
We saw one leader who stood up, mustered personal courage and using limited public resources and private donations – she became the symbol of hope and loving care. Let’s elect her as our 17th Philippine President and stand tall and erect that our government will be incorruptible and honest.

I heard one Filipino today speak cynically about government: “Pare-pareho lang iyan naman sa guberyno.” That defeatist statement justifies his not voting in this election as he has given up on his birth country’s government. His consciously indifferent attitude mirrors what we have in our present government officials who couldn’t show adequate leadership during the pandemic. Indeed, we deserve the leaders we have now.

Since October 2021, Leni Gerona Robredo has inspired us all to care by her example of deep care and concern that all of us succeed. She is consciously aware and knows intimately what each sector needs. In over 20 cities, she has mobilized over 2, 000, 000 (millions) to volunteer, to show up, to make a difference, to provide meals and free legal, medical, nursing services, even transportation services to others. This unprecedented caring and concerned and loving attitude towards others reverses past conscious indifference into a love of our country, concerned about human rights, deep respect, honesty, fairness, and good governance.
