actually kung hindi nyo feel maglagay ng mga iboboto... lagyan nyo ng line... or something na hindi masusulatan...

Mello · Chocolate-Overdosed

Lines will fill majority of my ballot.

psychoCOW · Beerkadet Mascot/Matinee Idol

I go for lines. And I also go for voting for who you really want to vote for, even if it's just one or two.

Mello · Chocolate-Overdosed

One or two. Yes. If it really is who you want. I do not want to fill every space with a random candidate who is likely to f*** it up.

sa tingin ko naman wala namang kandidato na talagang super galing kasi walang taong perpekto. darating at darating din yung time na gagawa sila ng mali. ang iniisip ko nga lang sino sa mga kandidato ang gagawa ng isang dambuhalang pagkakamali at sino sa kanila ang gagawa ng mali na maaaring maresolve ng mas maaga.

ano ba talaga definition ng political dynasty? kahit ako nalilito na. hindi ba sila lahat ay gumagawa ng political dynasty? ikaw mayor kapatid mo barangay capt, dalawa kayong magkapatid sa senado... di ba nila naiisip na kapag political dynasty na pinag-uusapan lahat sila guilty...

biggrin

Actually, I find this issue about Political Dynasties unfair. The way I see it, if two, three, four, or more people from a certain family are qualified and deserving to hold public office, then they have every right to run. I'd rather have a qualified family than one idiot.

Of course, having that many people from one family hold positions in government is always scary, that's why it's still up to the general public to vote wisely and to guard those votes.

Easier said than done, I know.

I have nothing against relatives of politicians running for office as long as they're doing a good job and keep clean. I am against those who make politics a family business for the money and perks in the job

mukhang panalo si manny sa election. stupid popularity contest.

sanggre_felicia · Chomplet-in-Training

i know! gahd! yey for him that he won his match, but i'm scared sa magiging epekto ng pagkapanalo nya sa halalan.

twistedkai · Carpooler

I agree. The thoughts of calling the pacman, as Congressman Pacquiao makes you want to hide under the bed for at least 3 years. Then again ndi lang naman siya ang pinakanakakatakot na celebrity/infamous person na tumatakbo ngayon.

psychoCOW · Beerkadet Mascot/Matinee Idol

The way I see it, para lang di masayang yung stint nya sa congress, he should play to his strengths. He could start sports camps, and athletics-based outreach programs for the unprivileged. I'm hoping that he's really a good-hearted man. That alone may give him a decent stint in congress.

Still... hay naku.

Tora^2 · Beerkadet

While I do trust the Paqman and his somewhat naive intentions for running, I think he will lose by a close fight to reelectionist Darlene Custodio. She is intelligent, has the looks and is with the Opposition.

psychoCOW · Beerkadet Mascot/Matinee Idol

You're kidding, right?

In case you're not, I wouldn't mind Manny losing the congressional race. It's not his time yet.

But you have to be kidding, right?

sanggre_felicia · Chomplet-in-Training

if ever pacman wins, the admin gets another puppet.

s2chard · KONOHA VILLAGE - Jounin

i let GOD decide what will happen to Pacman. GOD will intervene for him.

it is not for us to decide. hanggang opininions lang tayo and opf course prayers...

The karaoke brawl was 3-4 years ago, and unfortuantely it was downplayed by the media.

Sandara didn't have the capability to reduce traffic for at least 3-4 hours, unlike Pacman whenever he has a fight scheduled. And besides, Sandara was never a star nor could she be considered a celebrity. (Yes, I don't like Sandara; never has and never will. )

It's up to the voters of Gen-San if Pacquiao wins this election. He could concentrate on bringing more funds to sports; or have training camps/school for sports like the one in China.

Hear, hear!

kung di ka nga naman kilala, sino boboto sa iyo?
So Popularity has a lot to do with someone winning.
Kahit sa US, mas maraming alam ang mga tao sa showbiz kaysa sa politics.
So isipin mo lang dito sa pinas...kaya maraming nananalo na artistang kandidato.

"My wife hits me harder" -solis

psychoCOW · Beerkadet Mascot/Matinee Idol

Which is a shame... Anybody here ever heard of the Kapatiran Party? Those three senatorial independent candidates with a Pro-God platform?

To digress... If Solis' wife hits harder than Manny, she should box. She'll rip Leila Ali apart.

syeri · Carpool Creator

who are those 3 candidates of the 'Kapatiran party'?

sanggre_felicia · Chomplet-in-Training

we had a discussion before in the artists' den mailing list whether Satire is protected under freedom of speech.
Sedition (incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government; any action, esp. in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion; Archaic. rebellious disorder.) So if your work directly tells, encourages people to rebel or tells an indiviadual in power to get out or step down, that's Sedition and you could be charged with Treason (Treason, sedition mean disloyalty or treachery to one's country or its government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government. Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense.)

Now, my question is: can the Genuine Opposition be charged of Sedition because of their ad that says "Isang boto Laban sa Nakaupo"?

syeri · Carpool Creator

another thing...what's with Team Unity's "Simple lang, pero Rock"?

psychoCOW · Beerkadet Mascot/Matinee Idol

I prefer "Simple lang, pero Rock" anyday, compared to GO's crappy, program-less ad.

syeri · Carpool Creator

The Go's new ad that uses all the candidates initials form something with the word "Revolt"..Pro Revolt nga ba? anyway, i don't really like the idea of them advertising much on them being so against the administration, but they are (after all) the Opposition.

*sigh*
