Hindi lang ang tatakbo ang kelangan maghanda, pati ang mga boboto

The election fever is picking up and I am definitely am getting into the election groove already. Because yesterday, I  started listening to the podcasts of the forums with the presidential and vice presidential candidates at Blog Watch plus I catched the Harapan Election Debates on YouTube. Okay, I obviously don’t watch TV. Buti na lang merong YouTube.

So I am starting my own little personal research on the election candidates plus I’ve given my criteria some thought. And really the mantra is to: VOTE WAIS-LY!

The criteria is not only applicable to just the national electoral candidates like the president, vice president, senators but also to the local candidates like the congressmen, governors, mayors, councillors and more. Oh yeah, and the slightly pampagulong party list. Hehehe.

Last week, a good friend scheduled a meeting with a financial planner, who shared with us her knowledge and learnings…without selling us anything outright (which was most appreciated). A lot of things struck me, making me think…maybe even bothering me about the state of my personal finances.

Here are the learnings that bothered me and made me wish I learned even before I started working…

Papapapalaisipan kung ano nga ba ang Wais...Alamin natin!

Thanks to Lumen (and Lola Obang too!), our creative friends from the Lowe Lintas and the brilliant marketing people from Unilever, the word “Wais” has become part of our day-to-day lingo. I’ve searched far and wide on the Internet space but have not yet come across the word’s formal definition. The closest I got was seen in the myAyala site, that “wais means smart”.
