The Philippine political election doesn't change. It's always been  that way since ages ago.   Choosing the next president will still be based on popularity and not because of their capabilites as a president

# data[].attributes.body
My thought was that people need to vote wisely and get to know the candidates first before voting because they will lead our country for 6 years.

# data[].attributes.body
A good leader is what we need in order for us to be pulled out of the pit that we are situated in after the pandemic, if we just follow the popularity of these candidates or by the trends, we might choose the leader that is best for our country, this country will also face the consequence. It is important to know who we want to vote for and who we want to lead our country.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, it's made me think and worry about the future of our country. We need good leaders to lead our country out of this pandemic, to fix our education system and many other issues. A prayer intention I have is that I hope the people of our country will make the right decision when voting for our new president.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I became worried for the people and future leaders of the Philippines. The video has stated that some people vote for a specific person just because they are bias. I pray that people will do a significant amount of research before voting.

After watching the video it made me realize many filipinos votes for leaders because of what the parents did not because of what the child did. Even though some have done things some relies on their parents work to be voted as a leader. Some leader positions are of those whose family also served.

A prayer intention is that The Lord will help the people chose a good leader and not one because of what their parents did.

After watching the video, I felt really concerned for the future of our country. The clip mentioned voting solely because of being biased, which obviously isn't right since that leader may not turn out to be beneficial. Moreover, my prayer intentions are for people to take the time to educate themselves on each leader and that whoever becomes the president, would have the purest intentions for our country (/think of the people first before themselves).  Hopefully they create a lot of positive changes to make the Philippines a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I realized that we are in "dire need of a good leader" who will be able to lead us to a better future after this pandemic. A leader who will be able to face  problems such as the decline in job opportunities, loss of income, crisis in the education system, and poverty head strong. Someone who knows how to navigate their way in politics. Someone who knows how to lead, protect and survive. Someone who values human rights, freedom of speech and choice and knows how to protect its people.

May our future leaders have good intentions and goals set out followed by action. Grant that our leaders be equipped with the following qualities: fair judgement, bravery, integrity, inclusivity, discernment , wisdom and strength.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video I felt more enlightened about what was happening, mostly because I'm not into politics. But at the same time, I felt scared for our country's future because the video showed that people would waste their vote on someone just because they're popular, and how the political drama between the two families isn't going away soon. My prayer intention is that people will vote wisely and not based on popularity, and as well that whoever becomes president or vice president will fulfill their promises, lead us out of this pandemic safely and bring good changes to the Philippines.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video is that we should all vote for a leader who can help our country. A prayer intention is to guide us in voting for our future leaders wisely and that these leaders may be beneficial to our country.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video is that voting for the correct leader who can lead us out in problems is very important and people need to stop voting based of popularity because even if they are popular does not mean they can help our country.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching this video, I'm getting kind of worried now on the future of this country especially the choices we make. My prayer intention is that our future president may make the right choices and not ignore or neglect a few problems that can damage a lot of things in the Philippines

# data[].attributes.body
As expected I feel as if the potential leaders of today aren't what I can say is the standard for a leader for me. This cycle will repeat itself and it seems the Philippines haven't learned from their mistakes. The Philippines have enough problems, what more. This country has gone enough then why go through it again? The Philippines future seem clear, and to be fair Marcos has done damage to this country for it to be like it is right now. My only hope is to pray to God and hope for the citizens will make the right decision. People will only pick and choose, in my point of view this became a popularity contest more than an election.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what they said in the video. The Philippines is very much in need of a great leader that would be able to lead the country to new higher heights. Most especially in this pandemic where everyone is struggling. I can only hope that those who are able to vote thinks it through and not just because they are popular for singing/acting/boxing/etc.

# data[].attributes.body
After I watched the video I realized that each person who is running for president has their own goals they wanna achieve. I have also noticed that voting for our next leader will be tough especially because of some disagreements and issues. I pray that in the end, the Philippines will choose a leader who is best for our country.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video was definitely disappointed because now, politics in the Philippines is sadly based on someone's social status and connections rather than their values or how efficient and selfless of a leader they are. Popularity, social class, connections, they inevitably influence the top candidates for the elections and that makes me disappointed to know, how unfair of a chance the potential true leader of this country may get. My prayer intentions after watching this is that I pray God may gift us a leader this 2022 elections who can turn our country around and change it for the better, both morally and economically. I pray that morality and integrity may win against the power of dynasties and corrupt political connections this 2022 elections.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I thought that popularity, money and relationships with a famous person can really affect who the people will vote. If a candidate doesn’t have any connections or isn’t rich but has the potential to lead, they still wouldn’t get as much supporters because most people care if the person is well known in the country or even world-wide. My prayer intention is that the people will choose a good leader that has good qualities and someone who can lead and help improve the country and not just someone who is famous or rich. I pray that our leaders in the future will be better, someone who has good values, loves their country and has a good goal as to make our country better.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, it made me realize that our country needs even better leaders/candidates, especially now we need a leader who is capable of helping everyone through this pandemic especially with lots of people suffering from the situation. For me I have seen that some of our leaders or candidates now are either not trustworthy or they are corrupt, and if we want to live in a country that is a safe and better place for all of us, we will need a leader who we are able to put our trust into and is willing to work hard enough for the country to make it better and more secure space for all of us. My prayer intentions after watching the video is that we are able to vote for a president who is trustworthy and will do their best in guiding this country to a safer space for everyone, and is also able to help with the situation we are in right now with the pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts have always been the same, and this video just reinforced them. I think politics is a messy business, mixed with rivalries, ambitions, and influence. As citizens who are outside the inner circle of this ongoing power struggle, it is sometimes difficult to discern what is true and false, like what a particular candidate has actually done or not, and what are their intentions behind their actions. It makes one think if they are doing it for the benefit of this country with many present issues, or the approval of the common people and nothing more? That is why voters are encouraged to dedicate their spare time to the research of the applicants' backgrounds and platforms before making their decision. Because once you dip your finger in that purple ink bottle, there's no going back.

Honestly, it scares me for the future of the country. It will only be six years until the next election, but six years is quite a long time. And a lot can be done in that period, for better or worse. The thing is, most people can't just learn from the mistakes of the past that led our country to disaster. Especially the fact that dynasties don't last. That is what I worry about the most this coming May.

I pray God will guide those eligible to make smart decisions that are entirely their own.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video was that citizens really need to think wisely and choose a good leader for our country this upcoming election since after all, they will be in charge of making our country a better place and we need to have a leader who can actually focus and fulfill their promises of what they will do to make our country better and not just have a power hungry person in charge.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video is that the Philippines really need leaders who can stick true to their promises. We don't need anymore leaders who will cast aside their duties after being elected, at the first place we are the one's giving them power thus we should choose wisely. Since the country is going through an extremely hard time, people are vulnerable and in-need of help because of the pandemic. A prayer intention would be that in the upcoming elections, the Lord will bless us with the fruit of knowledge and understanding as well as guiding our country with a better tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
From my stand point this video is a good rundown of Filipino politics (the connections or rivalries) and the upcoming elections.  I feel a sense of dread for the future of this country and even the present. I always have, as political feuds are surging in day to day conversations. In the past that I have studied it is power, popularity, charisma or money that are always a priority to the majority of this country. It seems that those priorities are still active. Filipinos often encourage politicians that have committed heinous crimes to their fellow countrymen. Or vote for a charismatic politician who's promises are hollow.

All I pray for is that those who vote soon realize the power they will give to whoever is their chosen candidate and be wise in their decision. I pray their candidate will use that power wisely or just at this point do the bare minimum. But the future is a foggy period. After all the people are in their most desperate now like they have always been, flocking to someone who would build towers instead of someone who will feed the poor.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video is that especially right now during the pandemic the Philippines need a leader to have integrity, adaptability and the willingness to help all the citizens. Filipino citizens should also learn to choose wisely on who to vote for in the election we need a leader to lead the country instead of voting for people running just because they are famous.

# data[].attributes.body
People should choose leaders wisely since they will be making important decisions that will define our future, and it is an opportunity for change. Before voting for a candidate, we should learn about them, their platforms, and so on. We may read articles about them to see if they are qualified to be leaders.

# data[].attributes.body
After finishing the whole video and while watching the video I was just scared. All I could think of was what the Philippines will turn in to and how everyone around me and myself will be affected if this candidate won or this candidate won and so on.

One person's vote is already so important to the results, but it could be used for electoral bribery, or the voter could've been miseducated/mislead, or even just picked whoever they were the most familiar with, which are really bad ways to waste a vote for the future of a country which affects everyone and yourself included.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video are that our country really needs leaders who are willing to help the country and not doing it just for money. My prayer intention after witnessing this is for everyone to vote wisely and choose the leader they trust and believe can lead our country well.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the clip is that it's very hard to run for president and there's many things to be fixed while you're leading the country. There are also many family issues that is going on that can affect someone's chances of winning. I pray that the people will vote not just because of the candidate's popularity but based on who is more fitting for the job as president.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video. I have learned some lessons when voting for new leaders. The leader needs to have a good balance of popularity and work hard. If they are very popular but don't work hard, then the system may just crumble. If they work hard but aren't popular, the people won't vote for them because they know the other candidates more. That leader's goal must also be possible, and doable. What's the point of making a goal if it's impossible to do? The leader also must not be corrupted. The citizens want leaders that can help them during the pandemic, not take away our money! But choosing the right leader all starts with us. If we choose the wrong leader, it was our fault for voting them in the first place!

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video is that we should vote wisely and vote for a leader who can make our country better and make new and improved solutions about poverty, etc. It is important to choose and vote wisely.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video are that we need a leader who is a serious leader with a strong vision for the country's future. I am also worried for the country's future because most people waste their votes on candidates who are not serious, most people vote on the candidates who are more popular which is not good.

I pray that in the end, people will be serious about this election for the country's future.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video I have realized how much more significant the elections are than I made them out to be. The elected leader has a huge impact on our future. We face the consequences of their bad and good decisions. Also, I have realized how significant political ties are especially when people use those connections to obtain certain advantages. I hope the elected leaders will be able to properly carry out their jobs, and actually make a positive impact on our country.

I pray that God will guide both the citizens and leaders of this nation may work together to achieve a  brighter future.

# data[].attributes.body
After seeing the film, I realized that if our country becomes corrupt, it is also on us. We need good leaders who will think about the people around them as well as themselves. The majority of people in our environment are preoccupied with money and earnings. As voters, we should consider whether the candidate we are voting for possesses the traits of a good leader.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I feel pretty worried about the future. I know it shouldn't be surprising that some people may be trying to gain government positions in order to further their own agenda but hearing about it is still pretty shocking. It's also pretty concerning that the election is a little more like a popularity contest than an election trying to find the most skilled/capable person for the job.

My prayer intention is that I hope God guides everyone to vote based on their beliefs and based on the merit of the candidate as opposed to voting based solely on bias.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I can't help but feel worried for the current and future states of our country. We need good and selfless leaders who will actually lead their country. People shouldn't be biased in their voting, instead they should vote for the person who will fit the role of a great leader. Someone who values human rights, freedom of speech, and knows how to protect its people instead of harming them. My prayer intention for our country is that we make the right choice in our voting and that our future president will be the one to fulfill the role of a great leader and promises to  lead and serve our country.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the whole video, It didn't change my viewpoint. Politics has always been stressful. We never know their actual personalities once they get their position. It's hard finding a good and selfless leader that we can trust. It's normal to be worried about our future since there are some citizens who are biased.

I hope God will be able guide and provide good things for our future. I hope He can help lead us to choose a good leader.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I felt worried about the country and especially for the future generations. Of course politics are important for an effective community but, it turned to a mess with all the rivalries,  individual ambitions, etc. I really hope that the citizens vote wisely to improve the drastic problems in the Philippines.

I hope that the citizens vote wisely for a leader who can actually improve the issues in the Philippines right now. Covid, poverty, global warming, etc. I hope the chosen leader can unite with others to make the country peaceful again.

# data[].attributes.body
After I watched the video, I thought about how much more important being a leader is. I realized that picking a leader is an important thing to do, as we want what is best for our country. I got worried for what is going to happen in the future of our country. We need a leader that will do what is best for our country, and a leader that understands the situation. I pray that god will guide us always, everyday for our safety. I hope that we would pick a good leader, not just for ourselves, but also for the good of each other. So that our country would be peaceful again.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, it has come to my attention that there are people in the pandemic who struggle with their own needs —there are also other problems like; extrajudicial killings and brutality. The Philippines is in dire need of proper/responsible leaders to face these issues. But what’s making me worried about ‘choosing’ these leaders is that the people base their choices on bias alone --this might lead to selecting the wrong leader for the job. I pray that God may guide us through these tough times and, may He give us His knowledge and guidance when deciding on a leader or someone to depend on.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I have thought about while watching this video was that there are so many people who want to vote for the right President and some who just vote because they're biased to influence or character expectation/influence or bribery. All of these candidates have some sort of experience with leadership and popularity over the last few years but some still aren't 100% sure of what they want to do and if they can even achieve their goal for this country.

I'm hoping that most fi not all of our citizens will vote for the right President not just because their friends or family made them do it or if they just like one specific person due to popularity, not knowing and thinking what would happen if that candidate won. There are good and bad sides to every person but they have to vote for a president that knows how to have good leaderships and good enough education to be able to stand up for themselves, their country and to know when to admit they're wrong. They have to also know how to help those people who have lost their jobs due to this pandemic and also help this country with corruption and poverty. They need to be able to help most filipins go through this pandemic with good future strategies and plans to help grow the economy.

# data[].attributes.body
It was very disappointing to know that there is not one good leader that really stands out who can lead Philippines out of its economic recession and many other issues. My prayer intention is that I hope people would make smarter choices when voting for a leader and not just base it on popularity and bribery.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching it, I really think the ones eligible to vote should vote carefully. Like don't vote for Manny Pacquiao because he's Manny Pacquiao. It is important to choose a good president that will end the pandemic and lead the country well.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts after watching the video is that we should think and vote wisely for someone who can help make our country a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, it's really evident here that the people that can vote should really consider their choices properly. Voting someone shouldn't be based on their popularity but more on how well they can actually possibly lead the country. That's really important especially now since we are still trying to fight the pandemic to get back in stable shape. We need a leader that can lead us back to stability, not a leader that just stands there and make meaningless decisions

# data[].attributes.body
After watching video it made me really disappointed because when it comes to voting, you aren't suppose to base it on their fame. You should not be biased with their fame in fact, you should think about how well they can lead the country and help the future generations. In this situation, YOU REALLY HAVE TO THINK THIS THRUGH WISELY BEFORE YOU VOTE!

# data[].attributes.body
The Philippines needs a leader who will lead the country well, especially during these crises. The Philippines has many, many problems within its citizens that is growing and is becoming more problematic with each passing day. However our citizens have the responsibility of voting wisely for the leader who's got good ideas that they truly believe in. I pray that our people will understand well what they are doing and have no ill intent towards our country.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in the election we think about what kind of changes this leader might make to the country, as much as possible.
