#VOTE

You hear it over and over. “My vote doesn’t matter,” students often say. Others complained that politicians were "all the same and everyone was corrupt." How can we overcome this tempting resignation and encourage students to register and vote despite their belief that the sport is initially unlucky?

Personally, I think everyone should vote, because everyone has an opinion. In Philippine democracy, we value our ability to decide who is in position, and enjoy the very fact that we have something to say about what is going on within the world of politics. However, when 75.90 percent vote regularly, we ask ourselves: is this really democracy?

Yes, many people will argue, in fact it is. We still have elections, and therefore the country will pass the President. But look at it this way; the whole purpose of democracy is for every person to have a say in what’s going on, and when more than the country votes, not everyone’s voice is heard. Most of the votes are bought by the politicians. And when not, most hear, that’s not a democracy.

What worries me is the unfathomable fact that the majority of non-voters are children, those in their 18 to 24 years only. while many people have opinions and have different beliefs and aspirations, most Millennials (individuals 18 to 29 years old) have removed themselves from the election process. Most Filipino are voting because of money given by the politicians.

When I first heard these statistics, I was shocked before. We always assume that everyone voted, but that’s not true. What I find hardest to believe is the very fact that only about more than a half of Millennials actively express their thoughts. I personally can’t wait until I’m old enough to have something to say within the functioning of government. And I don’t like the thought that people have a chance to abuse it.

Because of this, and also the undeniable fact that the voter literally has the longer term of the country on their hands, I urge anyone and everyone who reads this to appreciate how much democracy plays a part in voting, and use the opportunities given to them to make a difference in the Philippines.

Citizens of many countries have complained about the world around them, and many should not choose to change the world. However, you do. The Filipino child has the facility to make decisions that can affect the country. If you just don’t like the way the Philippines operates, but you don’t choose elections or make your opinions heard, you, not the government’s fault.

If you don’t vote, you are judging your right to vote, and your right to criticize our government. I also believe that young people need to come out and vote because otherwise our views will not be heard. We represent a successor generation and want to select officials who will consider our ideas once they vote on a problem. Voting sends your ideas across the country; it makes a difference. Vote wisely; don’t get blind by the money.

Tech101 - 4th Week

´ ▽ ` )ﾉ  Haroo! Kuroshioo desu!

This week is kinda hell of a week since I together with my team did lots of activities, tasks, and doing our to do list according to our timeline for projects particularly for Thesis and Techno101 yet it was quite a successful one so just worth it...

First is that we did changed our idea again for Tech101. It is called ''Laundry Express'', the concept for this idea is to deliver the laundry of the costumers to the designated laundry shop(up to their choice) . We believed that this idea is convenient at the same time it is efficient especially for those who are very busy specifically those who is working and don't have enough time for their laundry problems. Not just in the costumers alone but also in the laundry shops where the laundries stacked and causes a space problem of the shop because the costumers were not able to pick their laundries on time...

So after talking to our instructor about our proposed idea, we interviewed some laundry shops and most of them agreed to our idea since this is a benefit for them as we could advertise their shop as we do the delivery service so it is a win to win situation for short. And for the costumers, what we did is a survey in the social media since its hard to pinpoint those really needs our service. So we posted a poll in Facebook asking who are willing to avail for our service, well some do wanted our service specifically those who are working and really needs it cause it could lessen their hassle.

In Friday we attended a lecture series by the startup Streetby, we learned a lot about them as they gave us ideas and hints about startup. Later on the Q and A part, the StartBy shared that a laundry shop wanted their service door to door... I was like... ''whoa.. seriously dude?'' since the idea is the same as ours.. but the things is this particular laundry is the one who initiated for a partnership yet the Streetby is still deciding about it... That makes me want to know the name of that shop.. xD

As we got back to our instructor, we gave him the updates and approved it since he remembered our proposed idea as the Steeetby shared about it. Well, if we can.. then we must do it ahead of them.. And also we will approach Streetby since they said last time that they are willing to help if they can and at the same time they are not that willing to have a partnership with that laundry thingy. Fufufu Hype Hype Hype!.. ¬[^~^]/

That's all for this week.. See ya!! :3
