WHY should you let the candidates do all the talking?
Make your voice heard. With the launch of the Eleksyon 2007 Philippine Elections Blog, we are reserving virtual space for you to tell the whole world what you think are the important issues that should decide the outcome of the Philippine elections in May 2010.
What do you think of the candidates? Which issues should be tackled? How can we improve our ongoing coverage of Eleksyon 2007? Listen to our Eleksyon 2007 podcasts, and tell us which questions we should ask candidates in future sessions, or what points you would like them to expound on in future articles. We don’t want to just read your feedback. We want to give you the opportunity to keep the conversation going, not just by posting comments but also by writing your own entries on this blog.
To post Philippine Elections Eleksyon 2007-related entries here, you’ll have to register and create a user profile. Please don’t give out your username and password to other people. If you’d like to use the WYSIWYG Visual Editor when writing your blog posts, don’t forget to select this option in your user profile page.
All blog posts you write will not be published immediately but will instead be saved as drafts and subject to moderation. We hope you’ll understand our need to moderate posts, so please keep the conversation meaningful and your language clean. We hope you’ll respect the opinions of others, just as you expect others to respect what you think.
We’ll also feature Philippine election-related posts in the blogosphere and other online resources, so if you have an election blog or site, post a comment here so we can pay a visit.
Now tell us what you think.

to pinoy I:
you forgot PINOYS are smart…we don’t even have to import techno people to update the automated election system here…all we lack is the initiative and the guts to go for an automated election…./guts for the candidates of course…no chance of cheating for them…of “hocus-pocus” incidents….
and of course budget for the quality machine…sana huwag ipitin ang budget sa susunod kung sakali man…wish ko lang.

Atty.Adel Tamayo has a point in saying that our Muslim Brothers in Maguindanao are treated as “gago” everytime there is an election.Most of the time,votes from the area became “DELIBLE” if not “NOW YOU SEE ME, NOW YOU DON’T” and most of the time, “miracles” usually happened there. I hope our Muslim Brothers will fight for their dignity. Don’t let dirty politicians make a fool of us now.
You cannot help but be cynical when it comes to politics…experiencewise.
What happened now to Trillanes? hope his name won’t become “delible” …whew!time is so slow…the turtle even took a rest 5 times now and yet still on the lead…
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10…..1,000,000….still not finished? another week?ok.let me take a nap first and dream of a PEACEFUL ELECTION and wish my great grandchildren will someday witness a clean and quick election with “honest -to -goodness” candidates….zzzzzzzz….
hmmm…dark days of marcos regime should have served it purpose..that is to make people realize what should not happen again…well,people in camouflage uniforms should stay only in their barracks..their job is to protect people,not to campaign for someone who is in power while on-duty.Traces of marcos regime can be glimpsed from time to time.
A leader who is dedicated to his mission is judged fairly if the works are truly and honestly accomplished according to the mandated and moral laws of a nation. Pinoys are smart,you cannot fool them with small talks and peso/dollar signs.Well,life is hard nowadays so they may receive the money but of course,it’s not a guarantee for an additonal vote unless accompanied by “tutok ng baril”. Ironically,campaign period is the time
of “payback” for the people and after election,”the winner takes it all”.

Great idea! For I think the senatoriables don’t take the time to read our posts, especially on this website which keeps changing because of the various posts. But I don’t think it will be possible to publish all posts because of the volume. But maybe the Inquirer can select some. Although sorry to say the Inquirer is not our newspaper, so I rely purely on their website.

Unfortunately, those in prison are merely suspects until they are CONVICTED with finality. So I suspect those in 13th and 14th slot will work for the final conviction of the 2 suspects. I guess you know the suspects I’m referring to.

jurassic age - election results. another complain but if we do not air the obvious , then all the more we will just stay how we are now. we are not lacking in exposure to what other countries have in terms of automated election nor lacking in ‘intelligent’ people in the government who have the means to push for an improvement in the election process. we could even tap foreign talent if necessary to help. can an improvement be implemented for the next election? why do we have to wait for weeks to have the final election results.
