I know I haven’t finished my post about my Romblon vacation, the Splash Island trip, the HB summer swimming, the DilNet application and many more, but I just need to post this short entry.

Last election, I supported Dick Gordon to be our country’s president. And when I said supported, I mean, like giving away flyers to motorists, holding a sign board containing Gordon’s achievements, and shouting at the streets to vote for him. Thanks to my friend, John Michael Manalo.

In my opinion, he’s a leader-in-the-making. He handled the temporary alumni association of our batch. He was once a president of the FEU boosters. He’s a very sociable(?) person. And most of his plans for the barkada always come in to work.

Recently, he was talking about having a better Philippines and about politics and stuff. At first, we (our barkada) were a bit shocked on what he’s talking about. I mean, it’s not his usual self. But in spite of that, he didn’t stop telling us about his bet. You can really see in him the spirit that he believes that we can still do something about this country, and that Gordon will be the one who’ll administer that.

Just a while ago, he asked me if he can still run in Sanggunian Kabataan. At first, I said he can’t but after doing some reading, I found that he can still go for it. He said he was inspired with the speech Sen. Gordon delivered last Monday night. I didn’t hear the speech so I can not comment about it.

To cut the long story short, I would like to say that I’m really proud with my friend, Michael. And a bit jealous cause he have the guts to go into politics. All I want to say to you is that don’t ever let go of your values. Don’t let the system corrupt you. And always remember that we’re here for you. I would like to call you SK chair Michael, or why not Mayor Michael? Just kidding.

Peace, love and success, RIX. ^_^
