BGLante Column: Again, pardon us for being brutally frank. Having survived several near-death situations, holding punches to deliver a power message seemed to be out of the question, already.
In this no-holds-barred election season, it pays to call a spade a spade as wont our mantra in leading a life dangerously.
Yes, we minced no words in harping on the importance of money to win an election.
Never mind if we heard candidates trying to promote their bids on the basis of their competence and capability to lead.
But our beef here is that of what used is your untarnished refutation if money were what it takes to win an election. Yes, we have sank this low, that money is all that matters in seeking for public office.
Yes, money, money and more money.
For starters, candidates running for public office should know by now that to be considered a serious candidate, they should be told that the first thing they should consider is that they should be capable of going the rounds of the area they are supposed to cover. That trip alone which is done as often as possible definitely needs money.
Truth is, if a candidate fails to satisfy this basic requirement to wage a serious campaign, was for the Commission on Elections to lower the boom in the candidate as nuisance.
In the coming elections, we heard of so many nuisance candidates strutting their wares as if the world owe them a living.
There is only one explanation why there seemed to be a surplus of candidates parading as serious ones but are in truth are there for the fund of it.
There are even the perennial losers who have no qualms of running again and again as if they have acquired a Torrens title to the position they are aspiring for, come hell or high water.
If we have to qualify these born losers, what comes to mind was that they run because they have lost their sense of mental balance.
We purposely give currency on the subject of money as a be-all and end all of any political aspirations to discourage those who still entertain the notion that money is not the difference in elections.
As we rationalize our take on the importance of money in any political endeavour, we challenge any Tom, Dick and Harry to try running for public office using saliva as the currency of choice and let's see if he'll not end up biting the dust. Because at the end of the day, we still maintain that money is still the language voters want to understand come election day
