do you want a better philippines?

do you want to have a president that inspires you and makes you want to work your hardest for the country?

do you want to rid the country of corruption?

do you want to make a difference?



you have no idea how big a difference you can make.
cast your vote in 2010.
REGISTER TO VOTE.
NOW.






you may not know who to vote for yet. that is fine.

you may not be familiar with the different platforms yet. that is fine.

you may not care about casting one vote cause it won't make a difference anyway. that is NOT fine.

it WILL make a difference!!!!

you have until october 31 to register if you haven't.

we all have seven months to decide who to vote for and to learn the different platforms.

but not caring is the worst thing you can do.

you HAVE to care about where this country is going.

you have to!

you were disgusted when you heard of the zte scandal.

you were upset when they wanted to put tax on text.

you were saddened by the loss of the mother of democracy.

right?

that means you hate corruption, that you stand for what is fair and just, and that you value your freedom.

will you allow terrible things to just keep happening to our country?

we filipinos deserve better than the rut our country is in now!

that is why YOU HAVE TO VOTE, and VOTE WISELY.

this is our future, not anyone else's.

this is OUR FUTURE and WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING OUR FUTURE.

dear mr. mikey,

good day!

many of us got to watch your live interview with mareng winnie and igan.

if by any chance, you haven't seen it, thanks to technology, it is very easy to access. :)





okay. i really am not sure what was going on in your head at the time. (i mean, both at the time that you bought the house, and at the time of this interview.) what i can say is that i do know what was going on in the heads of many of our countrymen, thanks to twitter.

a few weeks ago after watching this live interview, i posted on twitter:

dear mr. mikey, we went to the same school. how come you have a different set of values from the rest of us? hmm..

you are a very, very popular man! you started a twitter revolution!!!! so many people replied with their own "dear mr. mikey" notes. these are just a few of the hundreds of tweets sent to me, about you. allow me to share them.




Dear mr mikey. I think i am one of your many silent partners (the filipino taxpayers). I may visit the states soon. I am gonna need the keys...wala akong matutuluyan. Bahay ko rin yan.
@JigsMayuga


Dear Mr. Mikey, you just sealed your political coffin.
@BubuyBalangue


dear mr. mikey... i have a question sir... wait, i'll just ask your lawyer instead!
@CarloVillanueva


dear mr.mikey!!!! YOU of all people really need a spiritual retreat!!!!!!!

@suzy899


dear mikey, sana nag-baon ka ng bawang at sibuyas dahil nagisa ka big time ni mareng winnie.
@emydeguzman
