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.

All blog posts you write will not be published immediately but will instead be saved as drafts and subject to moderation.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.

with the elections over and counting on the run i just hope our newly elected politicians will be God-fearing, sincere, respectful and friendly to his constituents.
for the legislators with their mighty power to make laws, may you repel anti-labor laws which make the workforce casual, contractuals, contractors, temporary workers/employees (without the benefits of a regular employee) for life and can be laid off at anytime.
labor must be addressed to, thus we must give our workers/employees security of tenure by making them permanent or regular workers with benefits due to them.
for the governors and mayors down the line, may you address the real need of your constituents with utmost integrity and honesty in the performance of your duties as public servants.
may all of you be not drunk of power that graft and corruption shall grip your soul forever.
God bless you all!

TO KAYCEE
I agree with most of what you said but as they say, patience is a virtue especially when you’re faced with the gargantuan task of rebuilding the economy which drowned under the 20-year Marcos regime. So we do need to be united for disunity (where the opposition seems to oppose for the sake of opposing) scares away potential investors. We can’t deny the economy is improving, (the numbers should speak for themselves) and the peso reached the P46 benchmark.

Hey,thanks for posting my blogs…
We have a system of goverment which is not stable…a lot of trimmings,a bit of changes with the icings,a little bit of remodelling and etc…it will not be an easy process and a one-man job…if we could help and join hands,it will be done in due time…ONE VOICE AND ONE GOAL,SAMA-SAMA,MAGTATAGUMPAY…
so let us join hands together and speak one language so that our message will clearly heard…iisang kanta,mas madaling maintindihan dahil same lyrics and same notes….not on the side,not against,not pro…JUST ONE VOICE AND ONE GOAL…..
IISANG TUGTOG,MADALING SABAYAN AT MADALING MAINTINDIHAN…JUST THE BASICS…SO THAT EVERYBODY WILL UNDERSTAND….if you are singing the same song but different pronounciation,aba’y taga ibang planeta ka na! wake up,you are just dreaming…LUTO NA ANG KANIN,UNTIL WHEN WILL YOU WAIT FOR THE VIAND?HIHINTAYIN MO BA HANGGANG MAPANIS ANG KANIN? If the job could be done now,then what is the purpose of waiting?
