The happiest months in the Philippines are not during the Christmas season nor on Easter but in March, April, May.
Everything you need including your wants are offered to you, your family, your friends on media, on the streets, on social media, visuals, in person, house to house by almost everybody.
You are told what you want to hear to the infinity and beyond. You are valued and given importance regardless of your status.
There is herd employment on the streets on a short term basis. All colours compete for attention setting a festive mood. Catchy tunes are heard in every corner.
Unfortunately this happens only every 6 years. Savor it while it lasts. Because after May 9 prepare for brokenness. The dream ends (except when the candidate with proven concrete results wins).
