Yesterday someone wrote that
“Social Media Tickled Pink by Robredo’s Decision “ to run for 2022 elections.
I was already in bed, about to sleep last night when I heard my Viber notification. I was tempted to ignore it but it maybe my daughter. So I opened my iPad.
Lo and behold! I saw three pictures of buildings all lit up in pink sent by my comadre. One of DLSU, Ayala mall, Cebu and St Luke’s Medical Center.
I became curious so I opened Facebook since my daughter mentioned earlier that “ #VP LENI” was all over social media. I was surprised to see a lot of pink indeed! Some of my friends even changed their profile pictures with pink circles, others made their own kind of pink pictures.
One of my closest friends, Tess also changed her profile picture showing her at Rotterdam; wearing pink with a field of blooming pink tulips in the background
Election fever is really here in spite the pandemic. Excitement will escalate until Election Day.
My great memories of elections is like a fiesta. Early on Election Day, people rush to the polls then they gather outside their homes like the are celebrating.
During my grade school days I tag along with my aunts who were teachers as they perform their election duties. I always anticipate snack time when candidates distribute packed pancit and puto (dry noodles and native rice cake) in brown paper bags; styrofoam still non existent then.
But elections were quite different then; there were only Nationalita and Liberal parties. Because of that, everyone in town can identify the leaning of every family.
Was that better then? Which one is more exciting, and better yet, which one favors the majority?
