Election fever. Have you caught it already? I am still proud to say that election in Sagada had always been cool. (I don't know if it is a proof to Montesquieu's (?) climate theory.) But, though there are many people killed due to politics, no one in Sagada is ever known to have died due to the "dirty" game.
Tomorrow will be election in the Philippines. They say that there is a raise for the honorarium of the BEI's who will be serving. Others say it is too much, others complain. Looking at it though, i could say that the amount is fine if you are here in Sagada or in places where politics is not a dirty game but, it is too little for those who are going to serve in the "hot" areas for their lives are also at stake. Yet, i greatly hope that this year's election will be as cool as the climate here in our place though it had already started with a lot of killings. May the election fever in other places subside and may the wisdom that comes from God and the wisdom of the election overrule the fever that had attacked others to the extent of killing and even destroying others morally, spiritually or even physically. This is my prayer, in Jesus Name, Amen.
