Jing Won in The SK Elections

Yeah. She won as SK Kagawad in the yesterday’s election unexpectedly!

It was the first week of semestral break when papa announced that she likes to run for the elections. I did not take it too seriously although she was a former secretary of SJA’s Student Council last year- so that gives me the idea that she’s into the muddy game . Days passed and I just found myself writing on behalf of her Certificate of Candidacy-although I don’t know if this is a ground for disqualification though- and people from our barangay began swarming here too often.

Tito Nomie Singson, the incumbent Barangay Captian and Captain-elect I guess, is a member of our charismatic community, FRM, and his appointees are almost from ours. Maybe they are looking for someone willing to run from our community and it happened to be my sister. Great. Well that is how I’d like to explain it because apparently, I don’t know the real reason. Or the least, if there is a reason.

The campaign period came but it was only on the last two days that she was able to join her mates. She still has school that is why and it was my parents who did the door-to-door campaign for her. Luckily, her name is included in all the flyers, posters, and tarpaulins of their party. Lots of stories still embedded here and I can’t just recall and tell them all. I am a slob, really.

Well, it will just boil down to this: that she won with the majority of her party mates.

Yeah, congratulations to her and to everyone. May pa- liga sa basketbol will not only be their program for the next years. And may they prove that the framers of the Constitution right in seeing the role of youth in nation building. Goodluck!
