Who did u vote for?

(For whom did you vote? is the correct sentence daw but it’s too formal.
“Who did you vote for” is more commonly used especially in America.)

Oyen went to our village’s voting precinct while Edmund and I voted in our old village.

When you’re a senior citizen, you get so many perks. Store discounts, free movies,
first in line. The only downside is, una ka rin sa heaven.

Edmund——– “Ay bakit wala akong picture? Buti ka pa meron kang picture”.
Me———— “E hindi ka nagbigay ng picture”.

Every election day, my husband asks the same question. Bakit wala syang picture dun sa master list ng Comelec at buti pa ako may picture. I will bet P100 sa next presidential election, he would ask the same question.

Serious voter #1

Ballot secrecy folder daw eh nagkokopyahan naman. Ang lakas pa ng boses ko.

Me———- “Naku, ang liliit naman nito, hindi ko mabasa. Iitiman? Ang taba, baka lumampas sa bilog, ang liit naman”.
Me———- “Tart, anong number na nga ni Dick Penson?
Edmund—— “Tart, anong number nung kaibigan mo?”
Me——— “Cayetano #7”.
Me——— “San si JV….”
Time out, text muna ako kay Oyen. “Anak, Allan Cayetano and Ricardo Penson, #7 and #26.
Oyen——– “Got it”.

Me———- “Tart, tapos ka na? sinong party list iboboto ko?”
Edmund—— “Kila Jecjec”.
Me———- “Ano yun? Anong purpose ng grupo nila?”

Edmund stood up and went ahead.

Naku ang dami naman pala nito 136, tapos vote for 1 only? Anu-ano ang pakay nila. Baka naman wala lang itong mga trabaho, at gagawing career yung posisyon nila.

An old lady standing beside me was looking at my ballot.
She asked about the party list, kung ilan daw ang pwedeng iboto.

I stayed for another 15 minutes. I scanned the names of the Party List. Grabe, sobra silang creative.

Merong Kakusa. Ang alam ko lang na kakosa ay yung mga nakakulong sa Muntinlupa. Magka-kakosa or buddies.
There’s ATM. Samahan ng mga gumagamit ng ATM?
Ako bahay, I pabahay. Green force, May the force be with you?
Senior citizen? panalo na ito siguro.
Kung anu-anong pangalan. Talagang binasa ko isa-isa.

I checked my text messages. Kasi some friends texted me names of their party list.
My kumpareng heneral- meron syang names of senators to vote for and party list.
Si William Gatchalian meron ding party list suggestion.
Si Noel meron din. Naku po pa’no yan, isa lang ang pwedeng iboto.

If they ask, basta, binoto ko sila.

Indelible ink, sobrang dami. Magbu-boom na naman ang mga manicurista.

Me———– “Sorry tart, ang tagal ko”.
Edmund——- “Bakit ngayon mo pa tatanungin kung anong plata porma nila?”
Me———- “Aba kailangan malaman ko, baka wala lang mga trabaho yun, gagamitin lang ang posisyon nila pansarili”.
Edmund——- “Iisa-isahin mo pa. Dapat nun mo pa sila tinanong”.

Oo nga naman. Akalain ko bang napakarami pala nila. 136.
