Chapter 2

3 1 1
                                    



Pagka-upo ko, I opened Google and click the search.

Nag-search ako ng mga tumatakbo ngayon president, vice president, at mga senator din.

[ Presidential Candidates ]
- Ling B. Manoloto #1
- Althea Rosé V. Delcour #2
- Gabrielle C. De Guzman #3
- Michael A. Alvarez #4
- Theo Albert B. Lacson #5

"Wow five ang tatakbo ... " I checked the online survey for the elections and whoa ...

[ Online Voting Survey for Presidential Candidates ]

1st Michael A. Alvarez #4 = 39%
2nd Althea Rosé V. Delcour #2 = 38%
3rd Gabrielle C. De Guzman #3 = 9%
4th Ling B. Manoloto #1 = 7%
5th Theo Albert B. Lacson #5 = 7%

Isang percent lang agwat ni Delcour at Alvarez? Lakas ng supporters nila. The rest of the candidates...kaya ba nila lagpasan yung dalawang kandidato? In fairness ang mag-kalaban ay lalaki at babae. Hala, nakalimutan ko. Botante nga pala ako. I need to do some research on each candidate, so I can choose who to vote and who deserves more my vote.

I was curious about the woman who is running for president, and I forgot...She is currently our Vice President in the Philippines. But, why? Why did she run for president? I watched her previous interview with GNN known as Global National News.

I was at the end of the live interview video of hers.

"Lalaban ako, para sa Pilipinas at sa ating mga kababayan. Hindi ako papayag, ang uupo sa pamahalaan natin ay may bahid na korupsyon. I, Althea Rosé Villa Delcour, pa-aangatin natin ang buhay ng ating mga kababayan at para sa ating minamahal na bansa." She stated before the interview ends.

Hmm, pwede na? I searched her education background, family, she has 3 children, her contribution and all.

So far so good.

I searched the other candidates, the second I searched is part of the military, the third naman ay hindi siya masyadong known pero maganda din ang kaniyang plano at plataporma, pang-apat na sinearch ko naman ay isang mayor ngunit medyo bata pa siya para tumakbo.

Lastly, I search Michael Alvarez. Hinuli ko talaga siya in purpose, kasi siya nangunguna sa online surveys. Kilala siya sa kaniyang last name na Alvarez. Noong, naging presidente ang tatay niya for 17 years sa panahon nila Nanay at Tatay. Madami gusto lumaban sa tatay niya, ngunit dahil sa galing nito na-muno wala ng bumalak tumakbo noon ang iba tao gusto lumaban sakaniya.

I watched Mr. Alvarez interview on GNN since sila pa lang dalawa na-iinterview Mrs.Delcour, while the other candidates is processing or on-going pa ang interviews nila sa GNN.

When I was almost at the end of the video, may sinabi si Alvarez.

"Nandito ako para lumaban sa ating mga kababayan, at ma-iunlad ang bansa natin. Sabay tayong uunlad at mag-kakaisa hanggang dulo. Sobrang pasasalamat ko sa mga taong naniniwala at nagtitiwala sa makakaya ko. Salamat sainyo!" Michael Alvarez staed before the video ends.

Hmm, I know why bakit sila na ang top 2 sa mga online survey na nakita ko.

Now nag-search na ako ng background ni Alvarez.

His educational background, contributions, previous jobs, and all.

Na-curious ako bigla sa pamilya niya. May dalawa siyang babaeng anak, at apat silang magkakapatid. I never thought na i-sesearch ko ito, last aral ko pa sakanila is when I was in high school, I think?

Grabe daming iniwan ng late President Alvarez ah mukhang sinulit. I search the Alvarez siblings on the web.

I click the profile and name of "Alex Evren Adler Alvarez". Bakit kaya hindi rin siya tumakbo?

Oh, may tatlo siyang anak. Lawyer ang kaniyang wife. While, I clicked the first profile of their first child. Which may naka-indicate na name.

"Alexander Kai Harrison Alvarez"

Huh...Is he the one I saw at the airport? I saw some pictures of him na naka-mask pero parang hindi tugma naman.

Maybe, not the airport...? Maybe sa mga countries na travel ko? I just saw him there wandering around? Ugh! My brain is not getting along with me today.

Hindi ko na nai-tuloy pag sesearch sa magkakapatid "ang mga Alvarez" sumakit ulo ko siguro jet lag lang ito.

I stopped searching and closed my laptop, kasi tinatamad na din ako. Madami na ako na-search and napanood for today.

Tinabi ko na laptop ko, and layed down on my bed to sleep.

As I woked up at 7:14AM, lumabas na ako ng room ko at naka-salubong ko si Ellaine.

"Oh you're too early?" Ellaine asked.

"Yeah, maaga ako naka-tulog." I answered.

"By the way, Elyse kinuha ko na yung pasalubong mo I know what bag naman kung saan mo nilalagay gifts mo sa amin every time na umuuwi ka, kaya don't worry perfume na dalawa lang kinuha ko since yun lang nakalagay sa bag mo." She said.

"Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me. I forgot to give it to you haha, but anyways I have some errands so, mauuna na ako bumaba." I said before walking out.

Pagka-baba ko, naka salubong ko si Ate Nancy at si Ate Elmira ang maldita kong kapatid na panganay.

"Goodmorning Ate Nancy!" I said while sitting and waiting for them to put the foods on the dinning table.

"Wow bastos to, walang good morning sa akin?" Ate Elmira stated while rolling her eyes out.

"Morning. Dalian mo nagugutom na ako." I smirked at her.

As Ate Nancy and Elmira finish preparing the table, they called the other family members so that we can eat at the same time.

Now, that we finished eating. Ellaine and Timothy helped Ate Nancy to put the plates and utensils sa lababo. Umakyat na ako para maka-ligo na.

Pagtapos ko maligo, pumili na ako ng susuotin ko. After few minutes, I picked the puff sleeve wrap crop blouse and high waist straight leg jeans.

Nag paalam na ako kay Mom na may errands ako since siya lang nasa bahay, while dad is at worked. Mom is currently work from home.

Hindi na ako nag pa-drive kay Kuya Esmir, dahil marunong naman ako mag drive ayoko naman abalahin siya sa pagdidilig, kahit na nagoffer siya ipag-drive ako. Grabe, Ate Nancy and Kuya Esmir is the best, parang pamilya na din sila sa amin.

Sila rin kasi nag alaga at tumingin sa aming magkakapatid, noong pareho sila mom and dad nag wowork and at that time napaka busy sila. Now, hindi na.

Nasa BGC ako ngayon, mamaya pa naman hapon ang ka-meeting ko kaya nag stop by muna ako sa starbucks. To relax my mind.

I ordered my usual cold drink and that is Chocolate Chip Frappucino. After I received my drink, nag-hanap ako ng ma-uupuan ko and there I saw a space for two chairs.

Pagka-upo may bigla din humawak sa kabilang upuan.

"Excuse me, I was here first." I kindly said before sitting on the chair.

"This is the only space, and wala ng ibang chairs."

"You're lost not mine." I kindly said. Ano ba gusto ko lang mag-relax!

"Can I sit here? I won't disturb you." He said.

"Can't you see? Gusto ko mapag is-" Hindi ko na natuloy sasabihin ko, dahil medyo familiar sa akin yung lalaki.

End of Chapter 2.
