As a Filipino, we must always do our part in making this country a livable one. And one way to do that is to vote. I am not going to endorse or suggest any candidate as I believe we all have different opinions and preferences and I totally have enough drama in my Facebook newsfeed from friends who, all of a sudden, became political analysts.

My only advice is for all Filipinos around the globe to not just vote, but be a responsible voter. Do your own research instead of reading rants in social media or listening to hearsay from people. It is our "right" and "privilege" to vote. Its not just some plain task to accomplish. Because in voting, we declare our love for our country and for our fellow Filipinos. In voting, we are not elite or middle class or poor, we are not Tagalog or Visaya, or Mindaueno, we are not pro or anti whatsoever. In voting, we are Filipinos and we hope for the best not just for ourselves but for this beautiful country we call our own.

If you are a responsible voter, then I definitely salute you! And as some establishments recognize your effort and time for being a responsible Filipino, here are some treats waiting for you after you vote on May 9:
