AN ACTOR’S PLEA FOR VOTES
All roles I have played,
…But not as a president.
Now your votes I need.
Allow me to some extent
Do it in the government.
Platform I have none
That, for sure…don’t understand.
Worry not, they’re done.
People around me are grand.
Dictates what…where I should stand.
You should vote for me.
Happiness, for sure, I’d give.
You’d see me daily
…On TV, where you live.
Think of the money you’d save.

Specifically posted for my fellow Kababayans, who'd be jamming the election precincts in a couple of weeks. VOTE WISELY, guys. GO FOR CANDIDATES, WHO HAS BRAIN AND INTEGRITY.

Hey guys. Received a couple of emails wanting to post this kyoka(crazy) verse somewhere. Please do so as a last minute reminder to our kababayans. It's only a crazy verse- so light and funny- but it could hit hard on someones head and softens 'fanatics' heart. We know those candidates who have proven themselves witty and cool, but rotten when overseeing our government. Philippines need a officials who can intelligently brush elbows globally.
