"It is only seven months until the next election! Campaign posters and banners are starting to fill the streets while candidates' advertisements are beginning to rule commercial breaks. Every now and then, I see presidential wannabes discussing their stands on different events and issues faced by the country. It inspires me. I remember telling my teacher that I wanted to be a president. I know I'm still young, but I'm just curious: What are the qualifications to run for president? -Louise
It's always good to hear that the youth wants to give their best for the country. Indeed, as Jose Rizal said, "you (the youth) are the hope of the future." The qualifications for president are contained in our constitution. To run for the top post, one must be a natural born citizen of the Philippines; a registered voter; able to read and write; at least 40 years of age on the day of election; and a resident of the Philippines for at least 10 years preceding the election. Study hard, be a good citizen and example to your friends, and be a good follower to be a good leader. Good luck with your dreams. Hope to see you grow as a leader with a heart for our people. -Mindy
