00:00The election is just around the corner and the candidates are getting to know each other in the upcoming elections.

00:06But what should the people think and look at in their vote?

00:12What does it mean to be responsible in voting?

00:16That's what Professor Antonio Contreras will tell us from his point of view.

00:21Professor?

00:22Thank you very much and good morning to all of you in the studio.

00:33President Marcos has already announced the election of the new Philippines.

00:38On Tuesday, the filing of the Certificates of Candidacy for the National Candidates will start with the Senators.

00:47We are also hoping that there will be other groups, other parties, and other alliances that will be formed.

00:55As citizens, what are the elections and what should we do?

01:01Let us remember that we are a democracy and what we call democracy is representative democracy.

01:10In the past, when the state was small, what we call in political science are the Greek city-states.

01:17We have a direct democracy where all people join.

01:22Although not all, because those who do not own property do not join.

01:27But that's a different story.

01:28It's just limited to a few who have privileges.

01:32But there is a direct democracy.

01:34The bodies do not interfere.

01:37While the political community is growing, there is what we call representation.

01:43What we are electing now are our bodies.

01:47I repeat, bodies.

01:50Representative.

01:51So that means that what we should elect is what we believe will be our bodies.

01:59That we will be a part of the talks for the country.

02:05In Congress, in the Senate, or even in the local government units.

02:11As a body, its voice should be like ours.

02:16So what we should vote for is right.

02:20Tobi Tsiangko should not say that we should not look at liability.

02:26We should look at what the platform is, what he is fighting for.

02:30And we should match that to what our views are.

02:34This is what many Filipinos lack.

02:37To have an appreciation that what we remember is a body.

02:41And therefore, we should know what we want to happen in our lives that we should want to achieve.

02:47Because if we know that, we can match it.

02:51So who are the closest that approximates our interests to the candidates?

02:58It's like a dating game.

03:00We match what my views are about abortion, divorce, China.

03:07We look at it one by one.

03:09And if we look at what the record is.

03:12If he is an incumbent, what are his voting records?

03:15If he is not yet an incumbent, what are his statements in interviews, in campaigns?

03:21So that we match as much as possible that he approximates our interests because he is our representative.

03:28Let us not have the attitude that because he is handsome, because he gave us a ball in basketball.

03:36Because he built a road.

03:39Or because he is our countryman or artist.

03:44That's it.

03:45Or beautiful.

03:46That's what we will vote for.

03:48Let us remember that he is our body.

03:52So let us examine ourselves.

03:56Let us know what is important to us.

03:59And let us find out who among those candidates will lead us.

04:04He will be our voice in the government.

04:07Because he is the god of a representative democracy.

04:11Let us not waste our votes.

04:14That is our participation in politics, one of the most important elections.

04:19And every vote should be distributed to whoever should represent our interests.

04:28Let us not vote because a person will win.

04:31How can you win a candidate if you don't vote?

04:34Not because you will win because he is your body.

04:39That is my point of view for today.

04:42Go back to the studio.

04:43Thank you very much.

04:44Good morning.

04:47Thank you very much Professor Antonio Contreras.
