The biggest "are you kidding" moment of Philippine Politics is stage foot today, at the moment. Exactly in the middle of Pandemic, as the race for 2022 Election began, numerous unbelievable drama started. Stay at your seat and be blown away, the show for the top "clownery" in Philippine Politics began. The incoming 2022 Election is filled with jokes and obvious acts of hunger to gain power for their advantage. Philippine Politics is a vivid imitation of Feast for fools. The show must go own for money and fame without realizing that the people suffered the consequences of this mockery.
Top of the list is the obvious way of securing influence by the notable series of withdrawals of certificates of candidacy (COC) and substitutions among administration candidates during the filing of Certificate of Candidacy. In defense, they said that they are not mocking the election process but utilizing the time and their action is legal. Without a doubt, the move signifies the indecisiveness of the candidates and they act according to their own agenda and not by their willingness to serve the people. The changes in the political agenda of the candidates prove their incompetency in sticking up to their statements.
Another vivid example of these unexpected alliances came up due to huge public popularity. The tandem that has unexpectedly set foot to gain power. Alliances that broke and then set straight. Never forget to mention the continuous use of the family name for self-benefit, the political dynasty is still prominent in the Philippines and widely used to embed influences on people. Some also violate their own principles and advocacies to trade for power and a Government position. The alliances they made clearly manifest how they give importance to the idea of "winning" instead of serving. Sadly, some candidates also have the guts to lie about their background and credentials, and openly mock the electoral process of COMELEC but yet some still blindly patronize the person/candidate.
Politics in the Philippines has a fond adoration to trickery. We became victims and were double played by our desperation for progress and change. Candidates that play the game for their benefits shall not be liable to any government position. Serving people is, and should be, an act steered by love and driven by the mere fact of interest in giving people the quality of life that they deserve. The games they play in politics are something that none of us should fascinate. It's alarming to know that a lot of people disregarded basic human morals to substantiate the candidate that they laud. Evident acts of immorality are neglected and set aside to cater to their version of the story. The unjustifiable act became normal to set someone straight in their eyes.
