There are 7 more days before the election day.  Have you decided who you are going to vote? Don’t vote for a person who is paying you a thousand pesos or because you think he/she is the lesser evil or because the survey says he’s going to win, instead, make a stand and choose the best one.  Vote for a candidate who has principle and has the vision for his country and its people.

In the bible, God gave guidelines to Israelites how to choose their leader and I believe it still applies up to this time.  It’s written in Deuteronomy 17:14-20:

¹⁴ When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”

¹⁵ be sure to appoint over you the king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your own brothers. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not a brother Israelite.

¹⁶ The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.”

¹⁷ He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

¹⁸ When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levites.

¹⁹ It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees

²⁰ and not consider himself better than his brothers and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.

I hope this will help you decide whom to vote.  May God bless the Philippines.
