ELECTION RAIN DANCE
I recently visited our farm planted with mango trees in Matanao, Davao del Sur. Our place suffer the wrath of the el nino as evidenced by large cracks on the soil scrawny goats chewing brown dried leaves, long time neighbors and friend gathered and lackadaisically lounging in a sari-sari store exchanging juicy and political gossips.
Some of them jokingly said to perform the rain dance (just ilke what sarah geronimo did in a movie) to summon for rains. Others vowed to pledge some amount to offer to our "kapilya para pamisa sa Medalla Milagrosa".
We relished that one lazy afternoon with full of laughters when suddenly, a screeching brown SUV stopped in front of the store creating clouds dust that stung our eyes. Blast!!!
The passenger disembarked, and with its most artificial smile, beamed and greeted us "maayong udto, mare" and distributed pamphlets.
He left leaving parting words "ayaw kalimot, karun eleksyon" before slamming the SUV's door in haste.
We asked for rain and rain really came. Nag-ulan gyud ug pamphlets.
The only consolation was, the pamphlet paper was perfect "panglukot sa tabako o tresbi".
ELECTION TIME AGAIN.
