Re: Gov ‘Pogi’ underscores value of giving respect

As predictable as day and night, Filipinos again vote by name recognition. How many know what the candidate’s agenda before voting. Again, Fernandez. Again, another Espino. The list goes on and on not only in Pangasinan but through the Philippines. If the country is to change the those into office must have a new agenda. Voting III in when Junior is termed out does nothing. In Dagupan, how long has it been since the city has had a mayor that did not have the last name of Fernandez or Lim. Don’t get me wrong I think Former Mayor Lim was the best mayor the city has had, I am just trying to make a point on Filipino s voting on name recognition and not substance. The election of President Duterte brings hope, not so with the Vice President. Maria Leonor Robredo. This woman was elected only because of her dead husband. Her foray into political office was because of the death of her husband, a much admired man. Had her husband not died she would be home taking care of the kids. She may make a good vice president but, again, won political office through name recognition. My hope that in the future the voters will study the candidates not the name.
