This Valentine’s, don’t be afraid to express your love to a special someone. Be it your girlfriend/boyfriend, your bestie, or your mom. But if you’re not ready yet, or is not in that stage of the relationship, why not get some clue by bringing him or her to the nearest 7-Eleven store and treat them for a cup of good ‘ol coffee.

7-Election GULP Cups

I’ve been itching to publish my article on my senatorial bets for the upcoming Philippine national elections come May 13, 2013. Until that serious post comes to fruition in my other blog, let me settle for a bit fancier and informal one via the 7-Eleven “7-Election Campaign“!

NomNom Club @ 7-Eleven with Lipton Red Tea

Although it started since last month, you still have about two weeks to catch up on the 7-Eleven “7-Election Campaign” fever of choosing your candidates online and preferred parties by simply purchasing a 473ml (16oz) GULP cup and make your vote count!

You have three cup choices:

• Team PNOY
• Team UNA
• Team Independent

The 7-Eleven crew registers your chosen cup in the cashier. On the other hand, you can mock vote for your Senatorial candidates online at 7-election.com.ph. A cup is about P18.

How To Vote:

How else do I show you these unless I try it myself, right? 🙂 So here’s what I did:

How To Vote

Although the 7-Election Campaign is not official (of course), it kind of makes you think and decide as early as now which are your preferred candidates come election day while at the same time having a refreshing drink from 7-Eleven. 😛 Who are your bets?

Noy-Bayani

NoyNoy Aquino

I have also decided to share my choice for president in the person of Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III. In this election, I am giving my vote to the one I believe can make a true change in the government. I decided to choose a candidate who is criticized to lack experience and background but is dedicated to eliminating corruption and has a clear conscience.

Among all the presidentiables, I believe he is the one who will do what he said and fulfill with his best what he promised.

Bayani Fernando

I choose Bayani Fernando for the capabilites he has shown and the changes and improvements he has implemented in Marikina City and the MMDA. A man of action with ideals for a disciplined public society.

For the senatoriables, my longlist include Ople, Hontiveros, Acosta, Cayetano, Guingona, Drilon, Defensor–Santiago, Roco, De Venecia, Osmena (Serge), Tamano, Ocampo (Satur), Lim, Pimentel, and Enrile. Three more needs to be dropped. I still have the weekend to think it through. 🙂

The online community is encouraged to use the #juanvote hashtag for their reports and social comments on May 10, 2010.
