For starters, I would like to know if you will be voting this May. Who will you be voting or not be voting for and why?
Ariel did say, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the things that would happen after the new people have settled in their positions. It is also your right to vote, therefore use that right.
I still haven't decided if i should vote seeing that the candidates are all questionable in their motives and position in the government, moving from one party to another.
I would really like to hear your opinions. Post right away!
If you don't like the people running, you should still go to the voting centers, then just leave your ballot empty. Don't write anything, otherwise it will be voided. This is impt para makita nila yung overall voters turn-out. So you exercised your right to vote by not voting for anyone, thereby telling them that you don't think they are qualified for the position.
Will definitely go to vote.. I might even try volunteering if I have time.. Just for the experience of it. :d I know it's not a good experience, but it will definitely be interesting.
As I decide who to vote and not to vote, I'll post it here..
I'll start by saying that I won't vote for Richard Gomez. Sorry, you might be a good actor but I really don't think you have what it takes to make the laws in this country.
in the news...based on a survey, 90% of filipinos are dismayed at Pacquioa's decision to run for office. All for the same reasons: he will only be used and corrupted by politics and that he will better be in boxing than in Politics, plus the fact that he is questioned if he could make laws because of his educational background. Despite this, Pacman is saddened by this and still is pushing through saying that he does have riches and will use it to help his fellow citizens unlike other politicians who only talk but do nothing.
hmm...i am thinking that chiz is a good candidate, if only he weren't in the opposition.
Syeri I hope I don't offend you but I really hate Chiz. He just talks a lot and that 's it. I haven't seen him doing sensible stuff. Maybe, it's just me. I mean I just don't complain everything. I act.
I'd probably go with the lesser evil, as usual. I hate Philippine politics.

I will definitely NOT VOTING for Tito Sotto, Tessie Oreta (hmmm... tama ba?)... SOBRANG BALIMBING NILA AMP!!! Buti pa si Kiko Pangilinan, well, maybe baka pwede pa siya, but not because of Sharon. Independent party list, kayang kaya na yan ni ate shawy!
Loren Legarda? Welll simula ng kumampi siya kay FPJ nawala na ang respect ko sa kanya.
Escudero... Isang malaking reklamdor. ahhh amp! wala na siyang ginawa kundi ang magreklamo. hayyy, baka sa senado gawin lang niya e magreklamo.
Allan Peter Cayetano, sayang siya matalino pa man din, but definitely not my choice. Kung naging mahinahon lang siya at nag-iisip kung ano ang nararapat sabihin, well maybe, iba ang tingin sa kanya ngayon.
Cesar Montano, movie and politics should not be combine. pero wala tayong magagawa decision na yan. nope not voting for him.
Mike defensor, ahhh I would definitely vote for this "teacher's pet". hehehe. ewan ko para kasing pag nasa senado siya mas marami tayong malalaman. hehehe mabilis madulas ang dila nito. wala siyang tinatagong sikreto nyahahaha...
hmmm... yan palang ang aking nalalaman... personal opinion lang po. siguro di ko makukumpleto yung list na iboboto ko...

really? a fine for not voting? then that's a good thing for us here.

no offense taken. We get to listen to his radio show sometimes when we ride taxi cabs. Chiz is knowledgable of laws which is good. Though, like i said, if only he wasn't with the opposition.
Latest News: Cesar Montano is now running as senator under the administration.
There was a topic in Unang Hirit asking if it should be in the law that candidates should have a college education to qualify them to run for office. Oscar Orbos comments that if qualifications/requirements were written in law, then the law dictates who should run and not the choice of the people. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the voter to choose the one he/she likes. If the voter chooses the uneducated, famous actor - then it's their choice.
I still would prefer they have stricter laws in the candidates that run. I still don't see the sense that people who are in custody like Gringo, Trillanes, even that official who was convicted of rape years back could still run even though they are behind bars. Are we the only country who has that?
to cesar montano, di rin natin masisisi siya. eh tawagan ka ba ng malacanang and magrequest na sumali ka sa party. sino ka ba naman para tumanngi... i mean opportunity yan, e. hope na lang natin na di siya masira or di siya makasira.
before magbotohan dapat 18 ka na. errr before ka magparegister dapat 18 ka na. napagalitan nga ako one time dahil may isang election, senatorial ata yun, di ako nagparehistro. pinagsabihan ako. di daw ako nagparehistro nung mag 18 ako. eh kasi wala ako nun sa hometown. hehehe
mam syeri: uu nga nawewerduhan ako dun. convicted ka, tapos tatakbo ka. i mean, sinuway mo ang batas at ang gobyerno tapos sasali ka. i don't get him. o talagang makapal lang ang apog niya. biruin mo kasali ka sa naunsyaming kudeta tapos... aarrgghh!!!
let's pray for our country nalang. hanggang may buhay may pag-asa
I agree with S2chard, voting is not only a right but a responsibility of each and everyone.
If the people who really cares for Manny really knows what they're doing, I hope na matalo siya. He'll be doing more good as a private citizen than as a "Politico".. (siyet.. just remembering the interview of Korina and Ted to Manny brings shivers..)
With Cesar, I hope he brings good. :) We all could dream big, it's up to us to make it come true is something that he once said.. I hope he still remembers that.
Kay Goma.. Sana.. Sana matalo siya. Super yabang!

I wasn't able to watch that interview with Manny. What did he say that made you shiver?
Kwento sa akin, Cesar Montano was on his way to a shoot and was surprised that he was brought straight to get a COC. It was also said that they were eyeing Edu Manzano for the spot but he declined. Cesar was taken in just because of his popularity and influence.
For the movie industry's sake, I hope Cesar doesn't win or chooses not to push through with his candidacy.
Politics is very very messy. Anyway, I'm voting for the opposition candidates, well... some of them anyway. Chiz is definitely in my list as well as Cayetano. Pati na rin si Lacson.
I crossed off a senatorial candidate from my list. Even if he's family.

If I remember correctly, Nikki Coseteng was in the Thursday event of the UP Fair. Obviously for campaigning reasons and if I'm not mistaken she was a member of the sorority who organized the events for that day.
oooohhh!!! maliban sa tasang ibinato niya during sa meeting sa senado, hehehe.
nikki coseteng? ano ba siyang may lahing chinese? ang balita ko drug empress yan. isa that true or tsisimis? pero i believe may ginagawa yang kalokohan. napakahirap ng tumakbo bilang independent ha!
