I hope lemmy posters do not engage in character assasination (of the poster). Well here it goes:

I am a supporter of Leni. With that in mind, here are my thoughts.

I don’t know if I have become jaded, or just got too old. It’s starting to become harder to imagine how it could be better. It’s not so bad. I still work, pay taxes, and just live.

I don’t know how Leni would handle the issue with China. I don’t know how Leni will deal with the sinking value of the peso. Will she be able to improve education? What about the businesses that died during the pandemic? Or the movie industry? I walk around and see cinema houses a mere shadow of their former selves.

With the pandemic, everything changed. I don’t know how a good leader will turn things around. Is BBM not doing the best he can? While I still prefer Leni and Kiko to be president and vice president, I don’t know what a better future looks like anymore. Are we just going through the motions and just want to live another day? There are no magic bullets to solve our problems. What does a REALISTIC better world supposed to look like?

Maybe I’m just sad and depressed, but these are my thoughts relating to the Philippines. I want some conversations about this, and am hoping to not be attacked for it.

    The solutions you listed are the solutions everywhere. What we hope to achieve will vary from person to person. But the important thing is, dream big, hold the vision and pass it to progeny. It doesn’t matter if I’m here to enjoy a brighter world with you. What matters is we work together, from wherever we are, for a brighter vision for everyone, and one day, our dreams realized, and if our species survives long enough, a dream bigger and brighter than we could have begun to imagine.

      Species survive long enough? It makes me think of war or nuclear war heads falling down. I hope I don’t see such…exciting…times. Or anyone to experience those ever again.
