It will be my first time to participate in nationwide elections this coming Monday, May 10. Though I really have no intense feelings about the elections, I acknowledge the fact that every single vote counts. Unless of course when cheating comes in. But this post is not about that.
Talking about putting party lists into the House of Representatives, I don’t know how many party lists will be placed in the government. I heard they use some kind of formula for that, but I’m pretty sure there will be a number of party lists to be chosen from. I believe that one of the party lists we should look on and consider voting for is the Liquified Petroleum Gas Marketer’s Association party list (LPGMA). Why them? Because they advocate on maintaining reasonably priced LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) accessible to household consumers. And we, voters, are all household consumers, right?
Never a time in our economy’s state wherein LPG price never became an important issue. LPG is a prime mover in our country’s economy affecting at least 3 areas, i.e., food security, health and environment. LPG price hikes may affect lots of households and businesses. You don’t want to go back to using firewood or coconut husk in cooking food at home, right? Aside from the hassle, it has an effect on the preservation of trees. Sustained exposure to alternative cooking methods or fuels also result to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or Black Lung (based on a study). People like our family who are into food business also get affected with unprecedented LPG price hikes. Everyone gets affected since everyone uses and depends on LPG. So, decide if you want a sector concerned with keeping the LPG price affordable to the masses represented in our government.
LPG-MA party-list #161 is a non-stock, non-profit, organization representing the independent players in the industry. The sectoral group is set to participate in the upcoming May 10, 2010 elections having as its special interest Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) industry and its allied concerns.
On a personal note, LPG-MA will be one of my top choices, but not yet the final one. I will only truly vote for a party list that is in line with my career, social status and views.
