Stay Out Of Politics

It might be advice you have heard before but it is still very good advice. Only the other day two motorcycle borne assassins ambushed a political candidate for LapuLapu City Mayor and murdered him. This happened right here in Cebu, in Lapu Lapu City on Mactan Island.

There are major elections due for May 2010 and there will be more cleansing of opposition by incumbents and aspirants desperate enough for office to pay for contract hits. The usual modus operandi are two men on a motorcycle, stolen or obscured plates, helmets and dark glasses. They ride alongside the victim’s vehicles and then open fire, usually when the vehicle is stopped in traffic.

Politics is in every level of Filipino life, even having elections for P&C officers at the local kindegarten  (I was voted Press Relations Officer)! They take it seriously enough to kill over these matters, so stay out of it. Even keep your opinions to yourself as people have been overheard by supporters of the other side and have been incensed enough to start fights, even kill the person offering their opinion. Even foreigners.
