Aside from Christmas Celebration, Fiesta, and other holidays, election is one of the anticipated event in the country. I think people are used to getting ready to know who among the usual public officials are making their moves to "serve the country".
With the rise of technology and perhaps the growth in awareness of all Filipino people it seems that candidates are in for thorough screening before this government officials to be take their oaths which is to serve the Filipino people.
Just recently, we witnessed in the news those individuals or parties who filed their Certificate of Candidacy or COC. There are some who were highlighted on the news but there are others who were on the sidelines.
After the filings of COC for the coming 2019 election, I managed to meet one of the Candidate for the Senatorial position. His name is Atty. Angelo De Alban, a lawyer and a professor in the University of Sto. Tomas.
According to Atty. Alban, he wanted to run for senator because he seeks to improve laws in the education, health, agriculture, and housing program.
He intends to serve the public consistent with his advocacies on bio-health, agriculture and education. He would be the voice of the ordinary people often neglected because of under representation. He intends to be their champion at a time when the Philippines is facing crisis, one after the other—a divided nation, a country threatened with terrorism, a high inflation rate and rising cost of living.
Angelo’s
dream is to unite all Filipinos under a promise of better tomorrow
through an integrated education system without any corruption and
unnecessary workload, a comprehensive health service available and
affordable for everyone and a nationwide agriculture structure to ensure
quality and quantity for the growing population.

also a lawyer and his mother, a former flight stewardess and purser with

other siblings and sister-in-law are teachers.
