If PPCRV is accredited.... Where is now JoeCon and his Namfrel? Is the ouster o
f Namfrel proves that they are cheaters in the 2004 elections?

There is no doubt about the intention of the PPCRV and its credibility. It is a
lso slowly gaining support from many sectors of the society. But where the cond
uct and outcome of the election are greatly controlled (or manipulated), we fin
d the PPCRV helpless. We can only admire the courage of the PPCRV volunteers in
areas where political warlords are dominant and strong. We may not name the ar
eas/provinces here but your guess is as good as mine. They are the same areas w
here election-related violence are high every now and then. In fact the authori
ties identify them as "hotspots" but very little is done to safeguard and ensur
e that election in these areas are clean, honest and credible. The absence of v
iolence does not always indicate that an election was credible. How it was cond
ucted from start to finish is the one that matters most. And this is the concer
n of any election watchdog. That is why we need more responsible citizens to su
pport the PPCRV. Good luck!

TO ALL
I know this to be out of place. Please bear with me. I just want to create aw
areness by choosing the latest topics.
Do consider Dr. Martin Bautista for the next elections obviously (a senatorial
candidate of âAng Kapatiranâ together with Adrian Sison and Zosimo Paredes). H
eâs a 45-year-old gastroenterologist in the US who came home after 17 years. Y
ou can see from his background that he truly means service. For those who find
him to be a hypocrite for working abroad, do understand heâs a family man who
needs to sustain his family, that he will be able to keep his independence by n
ot relying on public funds to support his family. He helps his countrymen in h
is capacity but itâs just not enough for there are millions of Filipinos. Itâs
a good start in Philippine Politics to have him and his party around.
I urge you to forward/text/inform all your contacts about them. I believe they
only lack exposure thatâs why Iâm doing this. But I canât do it alone so Iâm
appealing to everyoneâs help. If all will inform their contacts about them and
urge them as well to forward, we might hit a million.
We cannot afford to be indifferent now if we want meaningful change. Otherwise
we only have ourselves to blame. BUT TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

BTW, Iâve posted this on the different topics just to be sure.
