And so we Filipinos wait, glued to our TVs for news, as our election day comes to a close.
As of 7:30 this evening, we still had friends waiting for their turns to be responsible citizens and cast their votes. And we watch the tallies and polls, wondering about the future of our nation.
Voting today, was not easy, difficult for many, and even deadly for some, as the new automated system is run for the first time and violence breaks out in some provinces. People literally had to wait for hours for their turn to shade the circles, cast their ballots, and get their fingers inked.
Let us pray for a safe and honest election and deserving, honest leaders who will be capable of leading our nation.
Sulong Pilipinas!
