Ang Commission on Elections (COMELEC) sa dakbayan sa Mandaue mobutang og 15 ka special nga mga polling precincts alang sa mga senior citizens ug mga disabled (PWDs) . Ang maong mga polling places anha ibutang sa Mandaue City Central School ug Mandaue City Comprehensive National High School.
Mao usab kini ang himoon sa tanang buhatan sa Comelec tibuok nasud, aron kahatagan og kasayon ang mga senior citizens ug PWDs pagbotar. Maayo ni, kay sa akong pagbotar sa miaging mga eleksyon, ang akong presinto nabutang sa ikaupat nga andana sa tunghaan sa Guadalupe.
Okay lang to, alang nako, kay medyo batabata pa ta niadtong mga tuiga. Apan, karon, hangos na. Matud ni Anne Fleur Guijelde, Mandaue City Election Officer, adunay kapin sa 1,300 ka senior citizens ug PWDs nga narehistro sa ilang buhatan.
Sa dakbayan sa Sugbo, matud ni Dodong Soco sa Comelec South District, nagpadayon na ang ilang pag-segregate ug pag-consolidate sa narehistro nga mga senior citizens ug PWDs. Ang maong mga special nga polling precincts, anha ibutang sa ground floor. Samtang sa laing bahin, si Doming Chavez sa Punta Princesa, mi-text kanato’g mga mensahe pagpamalandong. Ania kining tambag sa usa ka senior citizen: “Just listen to my advice not because I am always right but because I have more experience being wrong.†Maldito gyud ning mga senior citizens da.
Unya: “We are often let down by the most trusted persons in our lives and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven’t done, while some ignore all our faults just to see us smile. Some leave us when we need them the most and some stick to us even if we ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of such people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which had to hold.â€
Samtang si Boy Ledesma sa Suba mi-text usab niini: “It’s not how well we jump over the obstacles, nor how fast we get to the top, but how often we stop to appreciate the simple things that makes life worthwhile. It’s really how others are happy because of us … how we give love and share; how we show gratitude & thanksgiving to God for everything we have that make other people joyfully happy.â€
Sa iyang bahin si Dodong Casinillo sa San Nicolas Proper nagkanayon: “The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything … Keep busy at something, a busy person never has time to be unhappy … Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. It’s a matter of mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don’t have.â€
