COMMITMENT TO DEMOCRACY
By: Clyde Albarico Cadapan
Human history has already proven that the most successful and the most
effective form of government is democracy. People are relishing the services and
the safety that the government provides them. I find myself lucky that I am born
and raised in a democratic country. Filipinos are enjoying the freedom to vote, to
express and to know. Without democracy, our country could be a suppressed and
controlled environment. We will lose our ability to think and to dream. Nobody wants
to be choked and fed with selfish mandates. With democracy we are able to work on
morality and legality at the same time. With democracy we are able to choose our
leaders. Democracy gives us a chance to speak and to express ourselves. For me,
the best form of government to be administered in this country is only democracy.
