Now that we are in the Year of Social Concerns, and also that we will be having elections this year, it seems but proper that we make some proactive, not reactive, effort to both humanize and Christianize this political exercise.


Sad to say, our elections have gone to the dogs, consistently being accompanied by ugly cohorts like cheating, bribing, killing, violence, etc., leading us to a black hole of hideous social ills.

Now that we are in the Year of Social Concerns, and also that we will be having elections this year, it seems but proper that we make some proactive, not reactive, effort to both humanize and Christianize this political exercise.
