It was a battle of colors, so to speak. It is not unusual to see campaign sorties represented by colors, but not of this magnitude, as evidenced in rallies of opposing political camps.
Sad to say, the antagonists/protagonists (depending on how they label themselves) were not limited to people supporting their own candidates/political parties, but friends and families as well. So many hurtful words had been spoken, much less, thrown at one another.
To this day, some of the adversaries have yet to move on from the outcome of the elections, and mend ways.
At this juncture, it is but fitting that political foes extend an olive branch to each other and let bygones be bygones.
It is time to acknowledge the mandate given by a majority of the electorate to the winning candidates, be it national or local, for there is nothing we can do to change the outcome anyway. The people have spoken and let us honor their decision.
Cooperation is the key to enable them to carry out the courses of action they have to accomplish in the next six years.
We are hopeful they execute with utmost competence the tasks expected from them. The citizenry entrusted them with their votes and deserve only the best.
Leadership is uniting people around a common cause or direction, for the good of the country.
Let us support our leaders and come together as one, with the end view of a better, if not the best, nation this part of the globe. Their success is ours too as Filipinos.
We only have one country, and aspiring for nothing but the best for our beloved Philippines is non-negotiable.
