Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
You were told your vote matters. You lined up in the heat. You gave them your voice. But just when it’s time to hold them accountable, they move the goalpost. Again. Now they want to stay longer. Not to do more. Just to delay the next time you get to choose. Because they know what happens when you start to care. When you start to pay attention. You become dangerous. So they do what they always do. They make decisions while you're tired, distracted or too busy surviving.
What’s really wrong? They are stretching power while shortening trust.
The barangay and SK elections were moved. Again. From 2025 to 2026. Officials will now sit for four years, not three. Barangay captains can stay for three terms. SK leaders get just one. It's a power imbalance dressed as progress. They are building permanence in places that need renewal. They are keeping young leaders temporary while giving the old guard more time to settle in. This isn't just a schedule shift. It’s a silent strategy. One that shrinks your influence and extends theirs.
