    The document discusses three types of electoral candidates: leaders, public servants, and servant-leaders. It argues that servant-leaders are the ideal candidates because they initiate plans with community input and have the capacity to execute solutions. It suggests that many Filipinos fail to vote due to inadequate knowledge about what voting means, who to vote for, and its impact. Finally, it proposes that vote buying is rampant in poor communities because people are focused on basic needs and vote buyers take advantage of that reality by targeting those communities with short-term aid offers in exchange for votes.

    Module A.1.1.
    Exercising your civic responsibility to vote: choosing the right leaders
    CRITICAL QUESTIONS

    1. The article lists three types of electoral candidates: leaders, public servants, and servant-
    leaders. Which among the three would describe your ideal candidate in the upcoming
    elections? Why?
    a. The ideal candidate for the upcoming elections would be servant-leaders. Its best
    for our democratic community to initiate plans together with government leaders.
    For one, we as citizens know the problems that the community face first-hand, and
    two, these servant-leaders have the capacity to execute such solutions. Voting for
    servant-leaders mean that we are aiming to have a give and take relationship with
    our government officials, and it calls for active participation for both sides. And
    through this activity, we are able to exhibit change that would be beneficial for the
    community, and later on, the country.
    2. Why do many legal-age Filipinos fail to exercise their right and responsibility to vote?
    a. We are aware of elections ever since we were young, so its not because of “we are
    not aware of elections.” I believe that failure to exercise voting comes from
    inadequate knowledge. Inadequate knowledge of what it means to vote, who we
    want to vote for, and why should we vote. This is most prevalent in the current
    political landscape of our country, as we have a definite divide on what people want
    from our leaders. Sometimes, it might even be because of inadequate knowledge of
    the impact of one’s vote might bring, and this might be why most Filipinos fail to
    vote.
    3. Why is vote buying rampant in poor communities?
    a. Filipinos are tunnel-visioned in thinking about our daily lives, leaving little room
    to worry about ‘more important things,’ such as our communities and the world
    around us. If we are to follow Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, most of us are stuck
    with the basic needs. Vote-buying takes advantage of that sad reality. By targeting
    those communities that are focused in their daily lives, offering them a deal that
    would help them survive for a few days in exchange for their ‘loyalty,’ we shouldn’t
    be surprised that its rampant, and not just in poor communities. This is how vote
    buying happens, or at least how we think it works; and it’s a sad sight to see that
    we are taken advantage of by the very people that we trusted, the people we entrust
    our future to.
