Everyone has the right to try and serve his/her community. Whether you’re a young OR a veteran politician, it’s your duty to help out your community in the best way you can.
There’s a harsh reality when it comes to Filipino politics though 'you need funds'. Manpower, pamphlets, slogan making, tarpaulins and ETC. - none of these things are free. Whether you’re a person who just wants to run for kagawad or you’re running for the Presidency, it will cost you.
A netizen with a good heart decided to share the story of Lola Yolanda.
According to her, Lola Yolanda is seriously running as a kagawad but she doesn’t have the means to make tarpaulins for her campaign.
As a substitute, she relied on good old-fashioned paper and markers for her campaign. People, especially her rivals, laugh at the sight of her makeshift posters.

The netizen who posted the story of Lola Yolanda pleaded netizens and to the locality of Patag to not laugh at the elder candidate but instead help her in her cause.
Here’s the full post:
Translation of the post:
“Nakakaawa talaga ang aming kapitbahay na ito na si Lola Yolanda Lariosa, Tumakbo siya bilang isang kagawad ngunit wala siyang pambili ng tarpaulin kaya sinulat nalang niya ito sa likod ng tarpaulin ang kayang pangalan. Dont worry nanay iboboto ka namin. Please. Iboto niyo po siya, Tumakbo siya bilang brgy.kagawad sa lugar ng patag. Yung mga ibang tao na dumadaan sa lugar namin pinagtatawanan lang si lola. Please wag niyong tawanan si lola kasi hindi naman nakakatawa ang ginawa ni lola. Sana matulungan niyo siya lola sa pamamagitan ng post kong ito.”
Netizens sympathized with Lola Yolanda’s cause and commented their support to the grandmother who wants to be kagawad and are praying for her victory.
