00:00The Filipinos are lacking in appreciation when it comes to electing a candidate for election.
00:05This is the view of Professor Antonio Contreras in his segment, Punto de Vista.
00:11According to Contreras, the public should be aware of the meaning of responsible voting,
00:18especially when it comes to the politicians who run midterm elections.
00:23Politicians and the public should be aware of the important issues in our society.
00:30Candidates should also look at their track record, whether it is incumbent.
00:35They should also not pass it by being handsome, beautiful, famous, an artist, and so on.
00:42They should also examine themselves and know what is important.
00:46And let's look for it in the politicians who will be the voices of the people.
00:52What we should look for is the confidence that we will be able to stand up for our country,
01:04whether it is the Congress, the Senate, or the Local Government Units.
01:10As a body, its voice should be like ours.
01:15We should not look for winnability.
01:17We should look for the platform and the opponent.
01:21We should match the appreciation of our body.
01:25And we should know what we want to achieve in our lives.
01:31Because if we know that, we can match it.
01:36So, who is the closest person who approximates our interests to the candidates?
