BBM: WINNING PEOPLE'S HEARTS

By Jun Abines

Bongbong Marcos is slowy winning hearts and minds. He is leading by example. He is showing discipline. His actions speak louder than his words.

While his enemies keep throwing stones at him, he refuses to retaliate. Instead, he shows passion and tolerance. He does not issue threats and promises of vengeance. His message remains the same: 'Let's unite and work together."

Bongbong Marcos is probably the most maligned personality and politician in the last 35 years in Philippine history. He bears the name of a man loved by millions but was subjected to massive black propaganda by the most powerful organizations locally and internationally.

But never did I see BBM look mad, angry or hateful. He remained calm and composed. When he speaks, he only  utters goodwill, constructive thoughts and positive outlook.

BBM also did not, at anytime show regret nor any embarassment for who he is and whom he represents. He stucked with his beliefs and perspective despite the malicious criticisms and slanderous attacks thrown at him over the years.

Many politicians out there have changed colors and affiliations countless times. Many have jumped to all forms of alliances changing friends and enemies every election period. But Bongbong Marcos remained true to the people and himself. He is super-loved by the North because he's been consistent over the years as a public servant.

I was one of those who said that if Sara won't run, I'd rather not vote. But when Bongbong Marcos filed CoC for President, he never uttered a word of self-importance nor attacking any rival candidate. He only speaks his intention to unite the Filipino people and serve his country.

Many Duterte die hards are worried of the country's future. Many think only a 'Duterte' can save this country. But never did I see BBM feel insulted nor offended by such attitude. He remained true to his words. He offers unity and did not argue who's the best leader out there.

I now see sincerity in Bongbong Marcos. Even if he is maligned and attacked 24/7, he keeps marching towards national unity. His solid support to President Duterte is a testament of his resolve. He never attempted to outshine Digong nor said anything bad when he was cheated for the VP position.

Bongbong Marcos has shown solid rock maturity. There is no misplaced pride and self-centeredness in him. He never reacts to negative vibes. Just positive attitude and message of unity for everyone.

No wonder BBM is winning people's hearts. He is not telling people he is the best Presidential candidate. He is merely SHOWING & DEMONSTRATING to people what a good and ideal presidential candidate should be.

BBM is like a ship Captain committed to reach his destination. He is steady, dedicated and confident. No winds, no waves and no distraction can alter his course. He is detertemined to lead this country to unity or die trying.

God bless you and your aspirations, BBM!
