Activity 1. Read and analyze the instruction below.
Create a reaction paper that is more focus on those people who filed their candidacy in presidential section.

I felt excited to discover more about contestants running for the presidency for 2022. There are
97 presidential candidates, according to comelec.gov.ph, so I'm curious to know what they are about. I
seemed to be pleased but Then I saw the lineup, particularly upon discovering with the well political
contenders. I'm eager to find out who is our nation's future leader.
All Filipinos are ready for this 2022 election as well as the famous six presidential candidates, all of
them are mostly well or divisive. We're looking for a wide range of presidential candidates. In Social
Media section, some people are debating who the best presidential candidate is. In response to the
followers of their opponents, they create mimics and witty jokes. But unless you probed through their
histories, nonetheless, certainly might vote for one of those. Manila's such well mayor, Isko Moreno, has
declared his candidacy for president. I'm also concerned that he'll win because he looks not ready for
me. Another one is Bato dela Rosa, I don't like him so I guess he will not win. He neglected to leave an
impact as a PNP leader, and yet he still decides to run for presidential. Lacson has submitted his
candidacy, which I believe will be unsuccessful because, according to Gulf News, he is engaged in a
number of murder cases, which makes me concerned if he wins the presidency in 2022. Also, when
Manny Pacquiao declared his presidential run. I'm betting he won't win since, according to Phil-Star,
nddu.edu.ph, he only takes his course for few months then graduated with a degree which sounds fishy
for me.
And I feel BongBong Marcos is the most frightening presidential contender; this is not to mean that
his father's actions will be emulated by his son. However, their family has a long history of stealing
money from our country. We have no idea what will happen if the Marcoses regain control of our
country. Before voting, Filipinos must first learn and research their history. On social media, Leni
Robredo is the most well-known person. Because of her numerous good intents and good educational
backgrounds. She is, in my opinion, the best candidate for president. People accuse her of being a
member of the Dilawan squad, which I believe is incorrect. She has a vision for how a country should
be run. We keep hearing her say she's not interested in running for President to dispel allegations that
they're preparing to assassinate President Duterte, but according to Phil star, we've never heard her
say anything like this before. She is despised by several Filipinos because she's just a servant of the
Aquino family. However, I want her to be our next president since she has the qualifications and
experience necessary to lead a country.
I suggest Leni Robredo to vote in the presidential election of 2022. She has the ability to show us
new beginnings for our country. Our Pink Mother can prove development for our country. I highly
suggest to vote Leni Robredo for our country’s glow up.
