Victor Paulino is the name of the protagonist of the story herein, and I am he in real life.

In a way this book turns somewhat like an auto-biography. All things written here actually happened in real life, more specifically—in my life. The tale only started when Victor Paulino ran for president. It is a fiction because I did not really run for president, nor do I have any intention [even in my wildest dreams] of running to lead our country. I am just an ordinary man whose preoccupation is to realize a simple, quiet life.

I wrote this book for the reason that, though just a simple man, I could still somehow contribute something for the uplift of our country, especially our poor brothers and sisters who never get tired of waiting for someone who can deliver them from their poverty and oppression.
