Election Frenzy: Defying the Culture of Apathy

The PNUan’s attendance in today’s Miting de Avance for the PNU-SG Election 2013 is a proof of the studentry’s political awareness. The partaking in a political gathering proves that we are still capable of collective action. It is a way against a culture of apathy that, at this very moment, should be scrapped.

                A debate opens a healthy academic communication between and among contrasting and complementary ideologies. Though some comments seem to mishandle logic and sensibility, this mode of conversing is a start of a blossoming intellectual renaissance in the University. Such engagement should be promoted, but it should not end in dogmatism. A critical-intellectual movement should not be caged in thought. It must further reach our daily actions to street parliamentary and therefore in action. For it is in action that ideas are birthed into realistic domains, often tangible and believably verified.

                Going back to the election craze… While others were howling of all sorts, some would be critical listeners to every aspiring officer’s utterance. They would, a hyperbolically, assess every syllable. Despite of the rant throwing, they find peace for their choice. This electorate applies a responsible voting manner. In fact, I would see someone taking down notes as if the Miting de Avance was symposium.

                Despite the positive terms, I lament to the resorting of black propaganda. The evasive use of information ranging from personal to public is made as self incriminatory evidence.

                Tomorrow, I will be joining a ballot counting as Poll Watcher. I hope to have a good eye and possess that of an eagle’s to extend a better service in the name of truth and justice.

My Dear PNUans,

To all of you, may you be guided by your rational faculties in voting. Every casted vote is a number that counts a number you owe the studentry’s future. Though cliché, please vote wisely. And don’t forget your IDs.

Love,
