ANOTHER ELECTION RELATED POST

What is now in today's news...all I can read is about the coming election and the Presidential aspirants that running for the position of the presidency. Their adds in television spawns daily and more and more people get familiarize with there commercial jingle as they present their personal qualifications to the voting public. For me, commercial adds for these candidates is good and it is really working for their part. They get to be known to the whole country as candidates.

As expected, there are several hot spots in the country where rampant cheating on election day happens. The commission of election is sometime blind with the situation in the location and still they count the votes in that region. In a local municipality, there are only 20,000 voters and when the election returns are counted, there are 30,000 votes. A big irregularity that can change the election outcome.

There is also this they call the party list system and for me that is useless. Some of this party list groups are leftist or what we call, enemy of the state. Rebels are being funded because they have a congressman and they are well represented in the house of representatives.
