He is the man of the hour. I just got a copy of TIME magazine today and he is on the cover. A lot has been said about this man. He made history when he won the vote as the presidential candidate of the Democratic party against Hillary Clinton. If he wins this November we all know that Obama will be the first African-American to lead the most powerful nation in the world and that is a big step.
Even though my country is in another continent, and I am from another continent still Obama's candidacy and this coming election will greatly affect the economic status and stability of my own country. We have been having good ties with the US for so many years.
I know that we Filipinos always have that crab mentality inside us that is why we are so dependent on the Americans. We always aspire for that American Dream. It is so sad but it is true, all of us want to leave our own country, we cannot blame our countrymen if they are searching for a more secure and stable life, which they think they will find in America. A lot of them have succeeded but a lot of them have failed too. I believe that luck is still a big factor plus hardwork, of course.
I don't wanna sound too patriotic but isn't it our duty to help our own country first? It is easier said than done, right? Life here in the Philippines is so difficult, poverty continues to rise, prices of basic commodities skyrockets all the time, 90% of Filipinos live in hunger. Only a big miracle, a very big miracle can make a change, a positive change for us. And what miracle would that be? we don't know, no one knows. All we have is our faith and our hope, no one can take that away from us.
