The past month has been eventful for me and my family. My dad has decided to participate in the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataaan Elections 2023 (BSKE 2023). After serving our barangay as a staff for a couple of years, he ran for Barangay Kagawad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, all of us do not agree with his decision. Having a political parent is not our wildest dream. But as soon as he submitted his certificate of candidacy, all of us gave our full support to him. We were with him from the house-to-house campaign, motorcade, miting de avance, and even during the actual election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day of the election came. I am one of the poll watchers. I stayed there from 6 in the morning to 12 midnight. It was a very tiring day. The voting ended at 3 in the afternoon but counting the results manually took time. It was already midnight when we started the canvassing. I and my dad decided to go home and just wait for the announcement the next day. Unfortunately, we got a bad news. My dad got the ninth place. There are only seven spots for Barangay Kagawad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my concession post<\/a>, I mentioned how my family is happy because my dad can now enjoy his early retirement. He wasn’t able to attend many family gatherings because of his dedication to his responsibilities in our barangay. Now, we are excited because losing in the election means he will have more time for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
