baranggay elections

barannggay elections, sample campaign materialAng inyo pong nakikita ay isang sample ng campaign material ng tumatakbong kagawad sa barangay eleksyon. Napakagandang slogan di po ba? Ako po ay lubos na natatawa sapagkat sa tingin ko po ay nahawa na sa pagiisip ng mga lokal na politiko ang mga pobreng baranggay kagawad na ito. Sa tingin po ba ninyo may kakayahan ang mga simpleng baranggay kagawad na ito na mag-pagawa ng imprastraktura upang makapagpahikayat ng trabaho sa mga mamamayang nakakasakop dito? Magkano nga ba ang sweldo ng isang pobreng kawani ng baranggay? Kaya po ba ng pananalapi ng isang baranggay na pantayan ang kanilang mga pangako? Nawa'y tayo po ay maging mapagmatiyag at maging alisto sa mga pangloloko sa atin ng mga tumatakbong kawani ng baranggay ngayong eleksyon. Huwag po tayong magpaloko na naman sa mga pangakong palagi naman napapako. Magisip po tayo ng mabuti ng hindi na maulit pa ang pambababoy sa ating sariling gobyerno ng mga taong ating dati nang naihalal.

Translation:

What you are seeing here is a sample of a campaign material of a baranggay councilor running for public office. The slogan's seems catchy right? I never thought that most baranggay councilors and chairman would use the same traditional tactics used by most local government officials (i.e. congressmen, mayors, ect.). It's really funny for me to use these slogans, though, I think they did their best just to be known through and by their constituents, however, why use the same slogans previously used by the traditional politicians? Don't they have any creative team to think of a better way to let your constituents know that they're running for a public office? It's such a shame, since I think such slogans can't even be fulfilled by just a mere baranggay official; just another toll to those promises made to be broken by a lot of politicians! More so, I've been wondering, how much does an elected baranggay official earns for serving the public? Can the baranggay treasury be able to met the promises made by these running councilors and chairman once they were elected? I do hope, we voters become more critical on how we chose the ones who will serve us, because I cannot bear anymore if they're going to be added to the list of politicians that tarnishes the system of government this country have.

P.S. I'm really sleepy upon writing this post, so if you found any grammatical error, typographical error, more so wrong translation, and the like please feel free to leave me a comment stating where you have found such error, and I'm willingly going to fix them.
