“ I realized that more than just looking out for experiences, finding role models and mentors in the midst of these experiences could have greatly helped me in my journey of figuring out my path.”

“Sinong Presidente mo?” This is a question we often hear with the 2022 general elections looming over our heads. In my case, this was the topic of conversation over a Monday lunch at home. I was taken aback because ironically as a political science student who often discusses the upcoming elections, we don’t often talk about it on a personal level. We recognize that it is to each his own candidate which allows us to engage in healthy discussions on relevant issues.

Voting is an empowering tool that can improve our well-being by engaging ourselves in our community and selecting competent leaders that will help solve these problems that negatively affect the well-being of Filipinos.
