The incoming government has not just a full plate but a platter brimming over with problems that must be attended to immediately… if not sooner.

Let us all accept the results of the elections (with clear winners) no matter how lamentable many of them prove that we have metamorphosed into becoming utterly depraved as a people. Our vote indeed reflects who we are now, courtesy of fake news, disinformation, distortions and “popularity” (or election celebrity status).

Now that the campaign is over, can we please ask the candidates to clean up their mess in terms of posters and tarpaulins and other campaign paraphernalia that they distributed and posted here, there and everywhere?

If you’re reading this with your morning coffee and pandesal, let me make one last pitch for you to finish your breakfast, get changed and go to your polling place and VOTE.

“A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.” – Douglas MacArthur
