My Fellow Filipinos:
Thank you for giving me a moment of your
time to share what I believe in and what
is in my heart.
My name is ANTONIO FUENTES TRILLANES IV.
I am a candidate for Senator in the
coming May 2007 elections. I am also
part of the United Opposition (UNO)
senatorial slate.
More than three years ago, my fellow
soldiers and I stood for our convictions
and pushed for reforms to pursue our
collective vision: to live in a society
where there is no corruption… where the
streets are safe and the needs of the
poor are addressed adequately…where
every citizen is provided with the best
education, sufficient health care, and
genuine public service.
This vision has sustained me throughout
the years. Now, it is time to carry
forth this vision. This is the reason
why I am running in the coming elections.
Sadly, for some people, the elections
will be nothing more than a contest of
men and women with the most entertaining
advertisement or the most popular
jingle. But I believe most Filipinos are
smart enough not to be swayed by these
kinds of manipulative schemes. We need
much more from our elected
representatives. We need sincerity,
integrity and moral courage. We need
solutions to our country’s problems.
Ultimately, we need men who cannot be
bought.
Friends, I am offering myself as an
alternative.
My legislative platform proposes
practicable solutions that cover four
major advocacies, namely:
anti-corruption, poverty alleviation,
peace & order, and education. (To view
my complete resumé and proposed
legislative program, kindly visit the
following websites:http://magdaloparasapagbaba go.blogspot.comandww w.friendster.com/trillanes.)
I want to pursue these advocacies we
started three and a half years ago, to
finally turn this country around. But I
cannot do this alone. The fate of our
nation could not - and should not - be
directed by one man alone. Instead, it
should be the end result of the
collective efforts of each and every one
of us. Thus, I need your help.
If, up to this point, I have failed to
convince you to support my cause, then
thank you for giving me a little of your
time. However, if you believe in what I
stand for and you are convinced that I
can protect your rights and push for the
interests of the Filipino people, then
you can do any or all of the following:
Forward this message to all your friends;
Vote for me (if you are registered voter);
Tell your relatives and friends to vote
for me;
Sign up as one of our campaign
volunteers by helping in the
distribution/posting of campaign
paraphernalia in your area. (Sign-up at
http://magdaloparasapagbaba go.blogspot.com or
http://kaisanitrillanesatng magdalo.blogspot.com/)
As you may have noticed, this mode of
electronic campaigning is quite unique
and would probably be the first in
Philippine politics. Surely, it will
spread information that will help you
choose your rightful leaders much faster
than motorcades and rallies. Besides, it
is free. More importantly, this will
empower Filipinos across the globe as
they take an active part in our
democracy. Lastly, this will be your
opportunity to finally be heard and
recognized as a responsible citizen who
has genuine concern for our country’s
future.
Thank You and Good Day!
