2013 ELECTIONS

2013 election is fast-approaching. A very critical point of time in

Philippine history where the sovereign Filipino people is about to elect again

their representatives, leaders who hopefully might uplift and develop the

socio- economics and other aspects of life in the Philippines.

It is of common knowledge that when such big event is fast

approaching, government agencies are quite busy, especially the

Commission on Elections, a constitutional body mandated by the

Constitution to promulgate its rules of procedure in order to expedite

disposition of election cases, including pre- proclamation controversies and

more so, as explicitly provided under the Constitution that The Commission

may, during the election period, supervise or regulate the enjoyment or

utilization of all franchises or permits for the operation of transportation and

other public utilities, media of communication or information, all grants,

special privileges, or concessions granted by the Government or any

subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, including any government-

owned or controlled corporation or its subsidiary. Such supervision or

regulation shall aim to ensure equal opportunity, time, and space ,and the

right to reply, including reasonable, equal rates therefor, for public

information campaigns and forums among candidates .

Basically, the objectives of COMELEC is to ensure the holding of a free,

orderly, honest, peaceful, and credible elections.

However, in their endeavor to achieve the abovementioned objectives,

there are some who go against the law , those who instigates disorder and

disturb the current affairs of the government. Those who primarily think of

themselves only and do acts which are prejudicial to the public.

Due to such matter, where disorder and violence are rampant most

especially during campaign and election period, a nationwide 150-day ban

on the carrying of firearms outside residences in the Philippines has begun to

prevent violence ahead of May 13 congressional and local elections.

Commission on Elections chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. said that it will

end on June 12. Army-backed police contingents will enforce the ban,

especially in about 800 towns in 15 provinces considered security hotspots

due to a recent history of election violence or the presence of private armed

groups.

Moreover, the COMELEC is now ensuring that Check points done by the

Law Enfrocement Agencies are in accordance with the law, will strictly

implement the guidelines set forth by the COMELEC but at the same time to

implement the said rules appropriately to avoid any violation of rights of

individuals as surely granted by the Constitution. Somehow, COMELEC, is

now becoming more vigilant to prevent and preclude law violators from

hindering and damaging the upcoming elections. Truly, the Philippine

National Police, as protectors of the people, are always willing to serve the

public and not hesitant to help in ensuring that the upcoming 2013 election

will be peaceful, free from any violence that may occur.

I sat under the tree,

I looked at the sky and

Took a deep breath

When suddenly

I saw a silhouette of a woman

Dancing and enjoying the fresh air

at the field

She smiled at me,

Seconds later, the womans shadow

Turned out to be my grandmother,

Oh! I miss her much , I chase her and

Longing to hug her tightly,

Sadly, shes gone.

Teary eyed and I looked side by side,

Hoping that she might appear again

But the yearning is all nothing

Cause I suddenly woke up and realize that it

Is just a dream. A beautiful dream.


4/5

In a world filled with mysterious things

I never felt that I am alone

When I have two angels on my side.

When I feel sad and gloomy, they make me

Smile

When I feel Im about to give up , they motivate

and enlighten me

when I am scared, they will hug me and feels that

everything will be alright

In a world filled with strange things,

Yes! I never felt that I am alone

When my mother and my father, as truly

Angels of my life, are always on my side

Who inspire and encourage me to go on with my life

No matter what life brings out, whether good or bad.


5/5

This world may be strange in so many ways

Luckily, I have these guts to brave out and

unveil such peculiarities

Cause , I know, that I have

two special persons to turn on,

and will always support my endeavors.
