Please evaluate the qualifications of the candidates for the coming elections. This is not a reality TVshow or a popularity contest. Learn from your mistake..You have elected Mr. Estrada as President before...Did he resolve the issues on corruption and poverty.
The answer is "NO", in fact he was a part of the problem. He is a convicted criminal to the society...PLUNDER - grave corruption. There is no justice in the Philippines if you are poor then you can't even find a job as a janitor but if you are rich and powerful even as a convicted criminal you can run for President. Only in the Philippines because majority of the Filipinos are uneducated.
They don't even pay taxes and these are the ones controlling the future of the country with their misguided votes. Even the media could not address this issue because they are part of the problem. Media people are friends with these so called corrupt but rich and powerful elite in the Philippines.
In fact you allow this to happen so nothing has ever mentioned about the importance of the vote except register and make sure the vote is not rigged. It's a half-baked solution to the problem in the political system in the country. Electing candidates that are incompetent only proves the notion that "You can manipulate the majority of the Filipino voters because they are ignorant and misguided"...It is purely taking advantage from the weak who knows nothing about the impact of their votes to their livelihood.
Without corruption I'm sure these so called "Mga Laos Na Artista" are not running for public office. Their motivation is purely to steal money like Marcoses, Estrada and Arroyo (the worse of them all) and become billionaires at the expense of the Filipino people. Again your program of "BOTO MO IPATROL MO" will address the problem of rigging the election results but will not resolve the issue on electing the right and qualified candidates.
