A call for restraint

May 1, 2022 People's Journal 367 views

AS the moment of truth approaches for candidates and emotions run high among them and their rabid followers, an aspirant for the highest office of the land has found it wise and necessary to issue an appeal for sobriety and respect, which is crucial to peaceful and credible elections.

Candidate for president Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. speaks:

“The election fever tends to make emotions run high. While we understand and appreciate the zeal of our supporters, we encourage everyone to exercise restraint especially when faced by supporters from rival candidates.

“In choosing our next leaders we should not allow the divisive effects to harm one another. Rather we keep in mind that once the choice of the majority is made, we stop being adversaries and remember that we are compatriots under one flag.

“Understand as well that there will be selfish interests who might agitate us in the hopes of fomenting violence or instability. We must resist such agitation, resist mistaking election rhetoric for personal attacks. They are temporary and we will be alright.

“May 9 is days away, the democratic processes are in place. We are nearing the end of this journey and heading for a new one.

“Let us all arrive well.”
