'TNT' COME ELECTION FEVER

COUNTING THE DAYS down close to the depths of the senatorial race, which is the talk of the town, seems to speed up the public awareness in the stimulating performance of candidates come election period. This electoral hiatus gives the public a chance to choose for the right candidates by the blessings of their rational cognizance. Voters feel like children waiting for the yuletide season. But in the sultry campaigns held at the Convention Center, San Fernado Pampanga- all gleamed and reawakened not by the wordly glamor, but by the performanmce the public is expecting from them. Whether the finest words on the rostrum are not enough to satisfy change and ignite the bone of contention. Whether there are two parties, independent candidates, the call for the 'right' decision must be inflicted to our political mind-set, socio-cultural charisma, and our religious yet empowering talisman engraved in the kernel of our soul. Whether the right to suffrage is an overkill, an exaggeration for the candidates to use media for political agenda- yes its a cult of personality and I beg to disagree. There are still many ways, not to mention Montano's case.


In the steamy sunny afternoon, manifold batallions of Kapampangans carried by heavy trucks were appointed (by their buying conscience) to witness the proclamation rally of TEAM UNITY. If you were there brushing shoulders, you might get cracked like an egg and fried to perfection for a juicy sandwich in the midst of a motley crowd galloping under the blistering sun. As spicy hot speeches pricked the soft-spongy microphone, I was hearing some old school music from the banks of their vocal cords; distorted sound, broken promises. Though the crowd was jampacked like you were watching on a premier night for a blockbuster film, I coudn't help but notice to sit and look up the confetti wishing it wouln't rain for a bogus celebration, nope, whilst others were standing tall smelling the fame and victory of their bets- dunno if their there to cast their eyes on their favorite celebrities as well as former politicians who became instant celebrities, or by the food and proposed plans straight from the horses' mouths.


But then, the rally, however, ran with flying color until the finishing touch of the hour. Next to the marathon was the moment of truth, the judgment come election day, who's in and who's out? Its up to you! Don't be mesmerized by the full-blown media. There's a kind of rush. Live up to your beliefs. Remember this new explosive TNT on the block that I planted alone on the functioning celebellum of my head. Think now before time tells.
