The troubles our country has gone through and now going through is exposing our respected leaders’ capability of leading our country.
And with the election time fast approaching, maybe these observations of my friends provoke voters to scrutinize more the character of those whom they will elect to lead this country out of the brink of becoming the most “lovable” worst country in the world.
My friends believe we Filipinos are not only intelligent but now wiser to choose our next set of leaders after the sufferings and dilemmas we have gone through – if not, then the one to blame if we suffer the same sufferings in the hands of inefficient leaders is very obvious - “Ikaw na bumoto ng isang salot!”
The leader being talk about here includes the highest to the lowest position where vote is necessary to put them in their position.
1. Always looking for ways to promote his/her name by any means even at the expense of losing integrity. The law has many loopholes but a morally upright leader doesn’t use them to get ahead of others.
Many of these leaders “Kuno” are seen almost every day in the televisions. During calamities and during gatherings they come to give us things in the form of freebies but their name is written in it. Sometimes it is not noticeable because they use their supporters to do the dirty work and can always say they don’t know anything about it or dismiss it as a propaganda against them from people who wants to discredit their name.
And the commission on election is inutile because the law has loopholes that it cannot prevent or stop an aspiring politician from being always on the media talking about their being good leaders “kuno.” These aspiring leaders thinks the “Masang Pilipino” is stupid to not notice their motive in boasting what they have done just to be seen for the purpose of hypnotizing people to memorize their name.
If only that amount spent for the ads were spent to help people then probably his chance of winning is higher because more people will pray for him/her to win.
2. Always blame someone or look for an escape goat for things went wrong or anything that bad happened.
The best example is the Mamasapano. I can’t believe why suspended former police director General Alan Purisima was blamed for the death of the brave 44 SAF by sharing his knowledge and expertise in tracking and killing one of the topmost terrorist hunted by the international community. If Purisima did not do anything would he be blamed if the terrorist killed civilians through his bombing skill?
3. These leaders reason or talk like the people are so stupid to believe their words.
4. He/she cannot accept responsibility for things went bad or wrong.
As a result number two and number three happens.
5. They own almost all the highest positions as a family(Dynasty).
Well, their reasons are sometimes is reasonable: They are honest and people vote for them.
6. They eliminate anyone whom they sense as a threat to their position – by the use of the gun or by the use of the tongue.
By the use of the gun some kill their challengers to eliminate them. By the use of the tongue, many aspirants are now being charge - some for valid reasons, some are obviously in the name of politics.
7. They take advantage of people’s weakness especially in terms of money.
I just hope people appreciate the value of their votes that when they sell it, the price should be enough to carry them through the next election.
8. Insensitive to people’s travails that when no one is complaining “Very loud” to be heard by the whole nation, no action is taken.
These people don’t mind the sufferings victims are going through and even blame the victims for their misfortunes. The shame this country is going through because of inefficient people managing the airport says a lot. It’s been decades the OFWs are suffering their but still is being taken as something no value. I still cringe and angry each time I remember my experiences with connection to the airport.
If the name of your father is being trampled year-in-year-out what will you do? NAIA – worst airport!? Hayyyyy……..
9. They are apprehensive or fearful to mention God
Either they are atheist or boastful they forgot God is watching above or they are guilty of not being honest in their responsibilities. I don’t know if both my ears have problem of hearing, but have you heard anyone of these leaders mentioned about heaven?
There are more obvious other signs of “Fake” leaders, however, these are the most discussed among my friends now whenever election is being the topic. Do you have any observations and ideas as signs of weakness of a leader? Please, feel free to share in the comment section.
