IT’S a given fact what the Comelec [Commission on Elections] has done in the past. Since the 1986 snap elections, the very controversial counting machines that cost the Filipino people billions of money, the 2004 national elections and other problems the Comelec needs to address honestly at the local level, which is very prevalent and the local chief executive is like the president in his own territory. Comparable to what the President did with Virgilio Garcillano.

We have our democracy, yes… but it’s not enough! We need a true democracy that is working for the people, for the interest of our beloved country, not of the few who controlling our country. We need to safeguard our rights, not just exercise them. We need not just to vote but choose a new kind of leader that has the courage to stand up and sacrifice whatever the cost of truth is… the Philippines deserves good leaders!
