The day you filed your candidacy for President in the 2022 elections, it behooved me to pledge my

support for your campaign, not only as fan sincerely wishing for you and your family’s redemption and
vindication, but as a Filipino longing for the healing and rebuilding of our nation, and for the revival of
the greatness Philippines once had, which I firmly believe, with your integrity, competence, and sincere
desire to put the best interests of our nation ahead of yourself, you are the one destined to take on that
difficult job.

As a Bicolana myself, I am somehow swayed by this emotional regionalism culture among Filipinos into
supporting a fellow Bicolana in seeking the highest position in the land. However, after a lengthy and
scrupulous scrutiny of all the Presidential aspirants, I am deduced to choose Ferdinand “Bongbong”
Marcos, Jr. by comparing this political exercise to that of a wedding where some of his fellow aspirants
may be the groom, the bride, or the bridesmaid. Yet BBM is rather considered as the BEST MAN for the
position he is earnestly seeking out of love for our country and for the sake of unity. Emulating the
strategy of his father, the late and the great President Ferdinand Emmanuel E. Marcos, particularly in
1969 re-election where he easily defeated his presidential rival Sergio Osmena Jr. in his own turf in
Cebu, it is through this strategy that we shall triumph in Bicol Region through mutually beneficial coattail
effects between us and the other leaders. As a loving son of the great President Ferdinand Marcos, I
know that he is morally obliged to do everything in order to protect the legacy of his father that has
been grossly twisted by EDSA 1 and even by the members of the highest Court, not to mention the
contortion of historical facts. His impending victory is a victory of the Filipino people and foremost, a
vindication of the Presidency of his father. Without a doubt, the late FEM is by far the best and most
intelligent President we ever had. There can be no other parallel or a least be at par with such brilliance
but his own son who inherited his genes. I am in harmony with BBM’s ambitions, character, and
integrity, and his strong vision for the future of our nation. Please allow me, therefore, to join and
support him in his aspirations

. It is my fervent hope that the majority of the political leaders in our country shall throw their support
on BBM, having similar sentiments in his crusade for a better Philippines.

“none of us alone can save the nation or the world. But each of us can make a positive difference if we
commit ourselves to do so”

“this nation cannot survive and grow and prosper unless we learn to live as brothers -FEM

“no matter how strong and dedicated a leader may be, he must find root and strength amongst the
people. He alone cannot save the nation. He may guide, he may set the tone, he may dedicate himself
and risk his life, but only the people may save themselves”
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Most of us have heard this quote
by Mahatma Gandhi and perhaps even been inspired by it. It’s a beautiful
sentiment and one that reminds us how everyone has the power to make an
impact. At some point in our lives, most people find themselves declaring, “I want
to change the world.” We are all hardwired to help others, and altruism is a part
of what it means to be human.[5] This is what causes people to volunteer or
dedicate their lives to something greater than themselves.

But meaningful or effective change isn’t always instant nor is it large-scale. Real
impact can take months or years, and making the world a better place often
means bettering it for a few people at a time. Every time you change just one
person’s world, you’re starting a butterfly effect with the potential to improve lives
for generations to come. it begins by consciously doing good. When you make
a positive difference, it triggers a cycle of transforming the lives of those you
helped, setting a positive example for those around you to follow, especially
the younger generation who are constantly on the lookout for a role model.

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
