What Color is in?

Green and blue, the two battling colors during the UAAP season when it comes to basketball. The colors represent the schools, competing for their honor- LaSalle and Ateneo.

Colors, give identity to something or someone, gives life and beauty to a place, to a thing or to a person.

Yellow and orange are the dominant colors in this season. These colors represent the two parties competing for the role of governing the country. The other candidates? Well, people don’t mind them. They were blinded by the fact that who is more popular or who appears on TV more often is a better choice.

At first, orange is first on the row, carrying the name of Manny Villar. A man who came from a very poor family but because of what he calls “sipag at tiyaga”, he now become the richest senator that we have. Do you believe it? Well, that’s what all his commercials on the television say, appearing to almost all programs on every TV stations, almost every minute. That, get the interest and somehow trust of many people, that he ranked number one on the survey, not before President Corry Aquino died.

The death of President Aquino gave rise for the hope of the Filipino to have a kindhearted and loyal President like her. Noynoy, her only son, gets the sympathy of the people, asking him to run for presidency. After a long decision making, he decided to run for president without enough knowledge of governing the country. The other popular candidate Mar Roxas, gave way for him and gave his support to Noynoy. Now, the pressure is in his shoulder. Is he worthy for the trust of the Filipino people? That, we'll never know.

Now that the 2010 election is getting nearer, it’s for us to think who and what to believe. After all, we are the one who will suffer and struggle for a wrong decision. Let’s be wise, and don’t be blinded by the brightness of their color. What color is in? What color will you choose?
