Theme: Transforming the Philippine Political Landscape Through Election Propagandas

Our needed direction is a blur. Our needed guidance is non-existent. In attaining our goals of nationalism, we fall down and drown in a sea of political turmoil. We are enveloped in a seemingly endless venture for political stability and transparency. Thus, we we entangled by the merciless nets of struggle and fenced by the limitations of our own leaders.Our government is a marketplace-with people bargaining and fighting to get ahead of others. If you do not know how to talk graft and corruption, you don't stand a chance.

We are tired of people who use the immoral shortcut rather than the righteous detour. Saying that our political state is a whirlwind of confusion is an understatement. Nevertheless, these downers only fuel the Filipinos' burning desire for transformation. And the nearing Elections is our chance to once again reshape our country, our future and our lives.

The echo of the call of the Elections transpire through us saying that we will start the change, we will be the transformation that we want to see within ourselves. We clearly see the urgency for new leaders and for reformation. We would no longer be silenced by those in power. Hence, we would be stronger in defending justice.

With out technological advancement today, reposting fallacies and problems can be done at a touch of a button. Together with the media, the church and concerned groups, we are starting to build a revolution, exposing every malicious event. Many groups are now promoting awareness and knowledge on how to choose the deserving candidates  This awareness makes us keep an eye out and think.

"Ako ang Simula ng Pagbabago," an excerpt from a propaganda of one of the leading media corporations in the country. The promotion to register as vote patrollers came out as a big hit which only proves how we are fed up with the current running of the country.

The youth's voice which were once kept closed are now out in the open because of the propagandas. They are now starting o prove what our national hero said. We really are the country's hope. We will decide whether we'll leave it in constant repercussions brought about by mismanagement or we will stand up. Stand up against poverty. Stand up against graft and corruption. Stand up for the love of our country. Stand up for nationalism. And if we will stand up, we shall do it with great conviction to grab recognition. Behind our eyelids are eyes that envision a progressive and booming Philippines.

The truth-it shall be prevail. Justice-it shall transpire. Transformation-it shall be felt. Nothing or no one would ever pick us up from our situation but ourselves. We can never be too late to shout for our rights; shout for our own good and shout for political transparency. And if the Election propagandas will succeed, we will see our perseverance pay off. We shall see our forefathers' dreams of a better Philippines come to life.
