A candidate’s qualification should be carefully scrutinized by the comelec, it could also rely on information gathered from the citizenry. To ensure fair play, Comelec should set a certain time for complainants to file cases of disqualification against candidates as well as a period for which it should make a ruling. Comelec should not do another Cayetano feat in the future so as not to paint a picture of conspiracy. If someone wants to say something, better say it within the prescribed period or keep it to himself forever. Like what the church minister declares before begining the rites of matrimony.

basta ako masaya na mukang walang artistang mananalo. sign na ito na natuto na ang voting public ng philippines. one of the reasons why i moved to canada is because i don’t wanna be governed by any person na mas mataas pa pinag-aralan ko. but from the looks of it, mukang may pag-asa pa ang pinas… sana nga natuto na ang mga pinoy sa pagboto. para na rin sa kinabukasan ng mga future filipinos…

Hello. This site is great! It is informative. I hope you will do this every election time. By the way, I suggest on the next election announce the registration period at least once a week in your newspaper or in this site. I noticed most people forget that it is already the registration period. They realize it when they watch protesters on TV demanding an extension.
Also, I hope somebody creates a law that makes it mandatory for all candidates (from the president to councillors) to post their agenda, projects, objectives, etc… in all major newspapers at least once during the campaign period and in a designated area in the city or province. This way we could vote wisely. I am so frustrated that all I see is their faces. I don’t know who to vote coz I don’t even know what they believe in, what projects they will implement, what laws they will pass. If not then, could you please try to get this info next time?

why is it that we see this candidates lately these days, well.. for obvious reasons election is soon to come.
you can see all smiling candidates pretending to be all chummy with everyone they see.
after election, do you still see any of this candidates approaching tricycle drivers, sari sari store owners, jeepney drivers, students in public schools, etc.
to the candidates - be more realistic
