Oct. 28, 2007


Today was Barangay Captain and Kagawad Elections. Every village/town has their main leader who is the Barangay Captain and then there is the Kagawad leaders who are under the Barangay Captain. Also, there are SK Kagawad which is like an internship for teenagers who are interested in politics. It gives them a chance to organize and help with the teenager needs/problems and activities.
It was cool that 3 of our church members were running for office, including one of my teenage girls Jennelyn. She is such a sweetheart. I made all her campain papers and hand out slips. Ferd and I dont get involved with politics as it is very dangerous here. People are killed all the time for getting involved, but I helped her behind the scenes.
Sean and I went out today, to go the the church and it was PURE chaos. People were lined up all in the streets, some fighting, some protesting..it was horrible. We just locked our doors and drove as safely as we could.
