People's Politician

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. A politician is an individual who is involved in influencing public decision making through the influence of politics or a person who influences the way a society is governed. Politics is a very complicated issue and politians are very complicated people. Why? Because they accounted to every decision and act that already they made, making and will make in the future. They all have different ideology to govern that lead to prosperity of their nation or to the destruction of their nation. Commonly politians think how to maintain their power? They develop selfishness and greed. They said they represent the people but it's only a front because majority of them are liars. But on the other hand there are some politicians who think to serve the people first than maintaining their power. No matter what political (corrupt) culture may break, they still stand on their principles and make the best decisions in every possible situations. With or without support of his/her colleagues he still do it for the benefit of his/her people. Unfortunately some of them live short, thats why our world is in jeopardy.

One good example is the former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, before he enter politics he already serve people by defending their human rights. Most of his ideology are for ordinary South Koreans who cannot afford the high cost of living, attain proper high education and defend their vulnerability. He shown his honesty in his seat that leads to his opposition to withdrawn their support because they want to protect their hidden agenda and interest. He became controversial because he's doing his job. But his enemies cursed him and seeked revenge. After his term hewent to his home town and miggle to his townsfolk. He still serve them with all his means. Then a bribery scandal came, accused him for corruption. He knows it is not an ordinary scandal but its a revenge by his former oppositions and enemies to put him down and his family. Still he humble himself to the public and made a public apology. He didn't think of what his persecutors may think but he's concern on what his people will think of him after knowing the scandal. Then again, he made a controversial decision to end his life by committing suicide. He knows, his life is the cost of this trouble. It's really shocking and dissapointing, but Ordinary South Korean people still believes in him. I not a Korean but I know because I have a lot of Korean students who share their feeling about former president Roh Moo-hyun. He is the people's president, father of Korea and a true politician. This is not a bluff its true. almost 4 or 5 million South Koreans who gather in his funeral service, they mourn because they lose a great leader. May his soul rest in peace and for the people of South Korea, heal and move on.

I'm a voter too even though I don't respect politicians, because it's my right to vote. Therefore I have a right to criticize and disrespect them because they are all corrupt and liars. I feel stupid every time I vote because there are no good politians it leaves me to vote corrupt politicians. I hope that someday Philippines will have a People's politician who think people first not the position and power.
