HELLO, fellow kababayans, it’s but fitting to share our resources especially from the landlocked province of Bukidnon relating to the May 14 elections.

HERE’S an excerpt from INQUIRER.net reporter Joel Guinto’s story:

MANILA, Philippines–The campaign against loose firearms in the 2007 elections has so far resulted in the recovery of 2,176 firearms, 195 explosives, and 303 bladed weapons, police records showed.

The campaign has also led to the arrest of 2,301 suspects, according to the same records.

Of the 2,176 firearms, 1,446 are high-powered while 730 are low-powered. The 195 explosives include 108 improvised explosive devices and 87 grenades, according to the police tally as of Sunday, the eve of the mid-term elections.

HERE’S an excerpt from the article written by Kate Pedroso of Inquirer Research based on the results of the Social Weather Systems survey.

MANILA, Philippines — Most of the voters who were aware of election observers for Monday’s polls prefer that the observers be Filipino, while a fourth prefer that they be both Filipino and foreign, according to a Social Weather Stations survey conducted last month.

One in every five Filipino voters (21 percent) have “heard or read of May 2007 election observers,” the SWS survey conducted from April 14 to 17 showed. Of this number, 67 percent preferred Filipino observers, 24 percent preferred both Filipino and foreign observers, while 8 percent preferred foreign observers.

Awareness about election observers was higher in Mindanao (27 percent), among members of classes ABC (30 percent) and among college graduates (28 percent).
