Elections in the Philippines are like your family reunions: noisy, dramatic, full of familiar faces, and someone’s always trying to give you money. But just like your tita’s unsolicited love life advice, not everything you hear should be taken seriously.

So, before you say “bahala na si Batman” on election day, here’s a little reminder we can all live by: BOTO MO. Yup, your vote. Your future. Your problem if you mess it up.

Let’s break it down:

B – Background check mo muna!

Cute smile? Famous parent? Viral TikTok? Sorry, that’s not a resume. Google mo naman, please. Know their history and not just their Instagram story. Kung dati pa sila kurakot, guess what? They didn’t suddenly find Jesus during the campaign.

O – Observe their platforms.

Do they have actual plans? Or just grandstanding and vague buzzwords like “pagbabago” and “maayos na pamahalaan?” Ask: “How? When? With what budget?” If they can’t answer that, they’re probably selling dreams without a receipt.

T – Tingnan ang pinagmulan.

Political dynasty? Sponsored by shady billionaires? That’s not public service; that’s family business. If their last name is in every barangay from Luzon to Mindanao, maybe it’s time to swipe left.

O – Oplan Kontraboto!

“Bigyan kita ng P500, vote mo akin na.” Um, excuse me? Your vote is not a promo item. It’s your power. Don’t sell it for a quick meal and a regret hangover. We deserve better than candidates who treat votes like grocery items on sale.

M – Magmasid sa dayaan.

Stay woke, friends. Report weird stuff. Don’t let fake ballots, flying voters, or shady officials ruin your vote. Democracy dies when we don’t watch each other’s backs. Be that citizen. Be annoying—for the right reasons.

O – Obligasyon mong bumoto.

Walang karapatang magreklamo dahil sa traffic sa kalsada, sa taas ng presyo ng kuryente, sa patong-patong na tax, kung hindi ka bumoto. Elections aren’t just a show. They’re auditions for people who’ll run the country (or run it into the ground). So please, show up.

BOTO MO, BUKAS MO.

Don’t let your future be decided by trolls, tarpaulins, or your tita’s kapitbahay who votes based on TV commercials or, worse, because “pogi sya.”

Think. Choose. Vote. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll finally get leaders we don’t need to “cancel” by year two.
