Being an election year, one of my
personal projects is to Vote for the Philippines (as in, bumoto para sa Pilipinas)- and give people the
opportunity to do the same by giving them information on candidates.
And because I’m die hard probinsyana like that, I’m focusing on
candidates from Cavite.
To begin with, let’s start by
publishing the list of candidates for those vying for positions in the House of
Representatives. Now what we have to remember is that because the
municipalities of Bacoor and Imus have been converted into cities in 2012, they
will each have a representative in Congress.
What we have to accept now is that people usually have very little idea about what their representatives do or more importantly, what they're elected to do.
Committees, or small groups of representatives (called congressmen/women) study proposed laws (bills), and other matters relating to issues and concerns affecting our lives and our society. They, together with the members of the Senate, form the government's Legislative Branch-- or basically the branch in charge of enacting law.
In the next few weeks, I'll post the other lists and some information about the candidates and their parties. I think I'll try to write this series in Filipino so that the demographic I'm targeting will better understand it (good luck with that, self).
