Not on the list

Im also an OFW working in Singapore, I cast my vote thru mail as with other OFW
s in this part of the world, Im just wondering how are they going to count the
ballots in the Embassy,because i went there today May 15, 07 for OFW related m
atter( pay OWWA and get OEC) but a note was posted on the gate that the embassy
was closed for May 15, 16 and 17, 07 for canvassing of votes. Is there any wat
cher for TU,GO and other political parties present during the canvassing or is
it strickly embassy's staff affair? Im just wondering if our voices will be rea
lly heard. If our votes will be counted accordingly. Its one of the few reasons
why OFW response to this election was lukewarm. canvassing of votes should be
done in public to ensure that the choice of the majority prevails and not the c
hoice of few people which is against the democratic priciple this election stan
ds for.

Totoong malaki ang utang nila sa taong bayan. Magkano ba ang airtime nila sa te
lebisyon? Magkano ba ang mga posters nila? Magkano ba ang pamasahe nila at ng k
anilang "entourage" papunta sa iba't ibang lugar ng bansa? Daang daang milyon a
ng kanilang ginastos sa kampanya. Saan nila nakukuha ang ganoong halaga? Kailan
gan talaga nila bayaran yun. Pero saan sila kukuha ng pambayad? Sa taong bayan
pa rin, hindi ba? Tayo na ang gumastos para sa kanila, tayo pa rin ang may utan
g. Hay gulay. Buhay nga naman.

when i read your post, i felt sorry for our country, not because of what you wr
ote, but because of how you think. If you think voting for the opposition will
solve our country's problem, then think again; it will only make it worse.

Got shocked if people would normally vote for the party and not for the compete
ncy of each candidate. I wasn't able to vote though, but I'm quite sure people
learned their lessons from the past elections.

I hope for those who could make it esp. the senatoriables would actually do the
ir job. Stop the corruption! Give what is due to the people such as allocating
projects to every region thus increasing the employment.

well, dito rin ako ngayon sa singapore at isa ako sa mga di na nag-abala na bum
oto, at least sigurado ako na di ako nadaya ng direkta. Palagay ko ang eleksyon
ang pinakahuli na kelangan natin sa ngayon, sa dami ng nagugutom na pinoy, but
i na nga lang at nandito tayo sa labas ng bansa kahit papano marami rin tayo na
papakain na mga naiwan don. Panahon na para ipakita natin sa ating mga makakapa
l ang mukhang politiko at mga hunyango ng ating corrupt na gobyerno na wala na
tayong interes sa kanila. tayo dito, gusto lang natin desenteng buhay na galing
sa ating pinagsikapan. Kunsabagay, naipakita nating mga OFW yan ngayong eleksy
on na ito considering na 15% lang bumuto satin (OFW around the world yan) at di
ko naman na masisisi ang 15% na yan na mangarap pa ng milagro galing sa eleksy
on, pero sigurado ako sa susunod na eleksyon babagsak pa yan kung walang pagbab
ago sa Pinas. Panahon na para bawasan ang eleksyon...trabaho na lang tayo ng ma
husay, di ba??

casting or not casting our votes it doesn't matter at all. what we need is self
conversion, i'm not talking about religion here or anything...what im trying t
o say if we want change then lets start that within ourselves no matter where w
e are in the world and what we do if wanted things to change in this beloved co
untry The Philippines then lets examine ourselves what have we done and the thi
ngs that we have been doing if it contributes to and for the betterment of this
country or not. I once was an OFW but things didn't work out well in the famil
y and in my children so i decided to comeback and opt to be with them and my ch
ildren 'till they will have the values in them and become good citizens in this
country. It may not be in our time today (the working force in this country) t
hat we see this nation mature, but lets make it a point that before we go we wi
ll leave a footprint heading to the right path.

oh our beloved Philippines! our country is just soooooo unique!!!! why can't ou
r leaders feel the concern that we feel for our country? how can they become so
oooo greedy and selfish???

To our new elected leaders, please wake up! we love this country so much! if yo
u don't love it, just get out and live your life in some other place in the wor
ld or in other planet.

isa rin ako sa mga maraming OFW. hindi na ako nag aksayang bomoto (OAV) dahil a
lam kung wala rin mangyayari. cguradong hindi rin mabibilang ang gusto kung ibo
to dahil babaguhin din lang ng mga empleado sa embassy. nasabi ko ito dahil sil
a ay mga appointee ng gobyerno, which means susundin nila ang gusto ng nag appo
int sa kanila otherwise baka matangal sila sa trabaho...
