Presidential election is now
fast approaching. Many aspired to be the head of this nation and one of them is
Mayor Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte, one of the most controversial. He was
the last candidate who declared his candidacy by substitution. Aside from that
he became more controversial when he was allegedly accused by mocking the Pope and
by the numerous bad words released by him. These reasons made some people doubt
whether Digong can really be the rightful heir of President Aquino. For some they doubt and disapprove Mayor
Duterte to be the next president mainly because of his character. If this is
the case when we look back to the book of great values, which is the bible you
can noticed that some men called by God to be used as instrument in bringing
the Good News and helping people go back to God, these men were sinners. Some
were corrupt tax collectors, some were murderers, adulterers and liars but as
the quotation posted in facebook, "God does not call the qualified but He
qualified those He called".
Regardless of the issues Mayor Duterte is
still one of the top contenders because many believed his toughness and his
credibility as public official can bring change in our nation. He was also
admired of what he did in Davao City, one of the safest and fastest growing
city in the country. That is why many people are rooting for him to be the next
president, a president who will bring discipline and equality. Religious
citizens that yearn for a peaceful country are now hesitant. Yes their country
needs a leader like Digong but his harsh actions may not be suitable to lead
and represent a country known world wide as good mannered On second
thought, Filipinos still believe that anyone has the right to curse. And this
country badly needs an Iron Fisted leader.
Let's not jump into
conclusions. Let us open our minds and hearts in choosing the right leader. It
is time for change and it takes a brave heart to have it.
