sa tuwing me mga nababasa akong tulad nito e, me mga dumadating sa aking mga angkop na babasahin,tulad nitong bigla na alng bumulaga sa akin while waiting my Dr.Habang nag-aantay e napadaan kami sa isang sikat na bookstore at ng ilan na ang aking napili,e bigla kong nakita itong isa sa binabasa ko ngayon,at ayon nga sa mga topic at mga usaping napapanahon sa mga talakayan dito at diyan o sa buong mundo man marahil.’GIVE ME LIBERTY’,ni Naomi Wolf,hindi pa ako tapos,dahilan nga sa tutuong matatagalan ka lalo na’t ito ay halos mabigat at halos e parang mga pwedeng kasagutan sa mga nangyayari o mga pwedeng nagaganap na nga,lalo sa atin.’Sa simula e isa sa mga magandang ‘quote e…eto,from JFK-’It has been said that each generation must win its own struggle to be free.’,So para sa mga henerasyon natin e magandang mapagmunihan,at lalo na sa mga kabataan na nga.Me mga maganda ring naisulat dito tungkol sa mga pwedeng gawin,isa na rito ang tungkol sa eleksyon o pag-kampanya upang magpa-rehistro,upang maka-boto at kung bakit mahalaga ito.Ang maganda rin e maraming matutunan at makatutulong sa mga desisyon at gawain o hakbang na dapat gawin.At ilang mga topic sa ilalim nito e,eto…
1.How to Increase Your Clout with Electeds.
at sabi nga e ,I say,first and foremost,register and vote.Lagi pag,sumulat ka sa mga politiko e una e,they check if you are a voter or constituents.
2.Votes Trump Money-sabi e ,the only reason politicians raise money is to buy ads that will reach voters.If you can deliver votes and voters,you have as much,if not more power,than people who deliver money.
3.Democracy Commando Force Multipliers.
Ito e yung ‘you are creating an ‘electoral affinity group’ at yun na nga,you can work on issues that matters to your group,o kung ano nga ang mga inyong gusto o sa inyong palagay e dapat.

and,your friends and relatives or group will develop a lot of influence by volunteering and bringing volunteers ,to campaign for an issue or even to elect a candidate.

salamat po at sana e maka-tulong kahit paano.

sa ilang karanasan ko sa mga kabataan,e tutuo kahit sila e naroon e kailangan pa rin nila ang suporta nating mga magulang at matatanda,at obserbasyon ko rin nga e not all matanda and parents are ready or even ok sa mga ganito,so yung mga ok e sana e makatulong sa kanila.

[...] 2010 Philippine presidential elections are drawing near. Some aspirants have started subtle campaigning, hoping to catch people’s [...]

yeah, vote for more corrupt and mindless idiots to office…what more can we do?

I’m glad young people like you are showing concern.I left Davao 1967 it’s 2009 and nothing has change.75 % still living below poverty line.But I notice this guy Bayani Fernando, he seems to have a political will.He seems to have joined the govt. to serve & not to get rich.I’m here in USA as imigrant.Pls. support this type of politician. Mukhang hindi siya TRAPO.

Aim for a corrupt free philippines, hope is much better than nothing, voting is better than doing nothing, aim for eleven million votes for Good Governance, never lost hope in voting for you will destroy the word called suffrage meaning short prayer and the right to vote.

at sana habang ,nagkakampanya e maipa-labas uli sa mga sinehan o sa tv o hiramin ito at panoorin ng marami at lalo na ang mga bata at mga magulan,ang ‘Sound of Music’,at maganda rin ang mensahe,at enjoy pa…

well..that is what we call Youth Power!

i think the coming 2010 election is not a question of whether people will want to vote or not, but more on WHO will the people vote for. others are discouraged to vote because there is nobody on the list especially for the “president wannabes” that deserve their votes.

believe me when i say that the filipino people is fed up with the present administration that they want drastic changes to happen. but unless people are given a candidate that they are sure they can count on, the 2010 elections will be another circus: a waste of time, manpower and taxpayer’s money.

From my experience many people especially in rural areas do not vote unless they receive their payments of, 500, 1,000, 1,500 pesos. This includes young the generation. This is disgusting. Anyone who has good intentions to run for office has to pay the people to vote in order to be elected. The people must change and resist the pay offs from corrupt officials.

Having an election is not a problem.Everybody wants to participate in it.However,counting the votes is the problem.Votes can be stolen, padded, or miscounted by those with money and influence.So we can all agree that even if we don’t
vote for corrupt and mindless candidates, they with money and access to power can win the vote counting and the election.So if we can count the votes correctly and the mainstream voters we can assumed to be politically savvy to chose the right candidates, then we will have elected officials that are truly public servants.Right now these “public servants” hold the keys to the house and makes the rest of us lived in the servants’ quarters.
You can have everybody, the young and old, the rich and poor, and
all the churches behind your candidacy.You still loses the election if their votes are not counted.So what can we do to ensure the votes are counted correctly?Can we identify groups outside or inside the government involved in the canvassing of votes?Which of these watches the precincts, transports the boxes
and provides logistics needed?Were any perceived to have influence the vote counting before?Answer to these questions are simple but correcting the problem of vote counting will require
collective efforts and will of everybody.

The idea that people want to vote for someone who is well respected has been noted since Marcos was ousted from office. One of the main problems is vote buying. Too many people are willing to accept money from a candidate/official whether they vote for them or not. The act of accepting money from a candidate is an admission and an approval for corruption. Vote buying has to be stopped in order for change to take place, and one way to do this is not to accept the money and to vote for the candidate not buying votes. Elected officials are a reflection on the people and the country whether you voted for them or not, as seen in the President Obama’s election. President Obama’s victory was a sign that the people want Change. The people must change. Let the youth vote be the catalyst for Change.

Blogs should be open and free from moderation unless there are adult content that needs to be removed. I believe this is a sign of censorship that does not belong in a democratic country.

Governor Ed Panlilio is the right person to aim for a corrupt free philippines, he can use the tactics of the Electronic Politician Senator Trillanes who won the election without trying, by just staying in Tanay Jail and that would be a signed that you dont spend too much in the election campaigned so walang utang na loob sa trapong politician but to its real election platform issue of helping the poor which is the number one election issue of the philippines. he can follow President OBAMA electronic electioneering by using youtube,facebook,myspace and be true to its election platform issue of getting rid of corruption and enhance the lives of the really needy.

To Rico B, i’m sorry to disappoint you on your call to support Bayani Fernando, he is nothing but a smug. I hope the people will make a better discerning comes election day than what you are suggesting

That is a good issue raised by Taga Sampaloc, how are we going to make sure the filipino people is not cheated again when not a single accomplice has been punished despite the so many and lenghty investigations. By the way, bakit ba talaga walang naparusahan sa mga nagsabwatan sa pandaraya nuon 2004 election.the answer i can think of is sobra ng dami ng govt and elected officials ang corrupt so that it looks like it will take 150yrs before juan dela cruz can breathe with relief.

Is our government serious enough to computerize election in 2010? If there will be a computerized election in 2010, then, cheating will be lessen. The only thing that the Youth should focus about is how the computerization is set up to control the weakness of an old system as far as counting is concern.

If the system is just by filling up the ballot(likes scantron when you are taking exam) in the precinct level and put it inside the ballot box and enter it in the computer aided counting machine in the municipal level for a certificate of vote(COV) is not a good internal control idia because there will be ballot box snatching and switching in between. Alam naman yan ng mga Computer and information technologist natin DOST and CICT. Ayaw lang budgetan ng maganda. Gagastos din lang ay yong may loophole pa. Pero Billion naman ang nawawala sa graft and corruption.

The youth should mobilize the LapTop Army. (Laptop ang weapon, USB Flash Drive ang ammunition) Organize with different School/Student Infromation Technology Association and assign to their own respective provinces and municipalities. All those people with lap top computer should volunteer. Be sure that computer results in precinct level wont change. Get the approval from Comelec to download the result and send to head unit in national level for immediate result. It is just a matter of good internal control to avoid loopholes.

dayaan sa precinct level:
1. bilihan ng boto by providing carbon paper as proof of vote (you got me?)
2. Ballot box snatching and switching.
3. Suing terror kung saan inakalang matatalo sila ng malaki.

Dayaan sa Municipal/provincial level:
1. Dagdag-bawas in exchange of large amount of money. Babawasan ang ibang candidate at ida-dagdag sa iba.
2. Or mearly adding zero or more zeros to increase the tallied votes.

Do you think it will solve by computerization? Definetely.

It depends set up of control and the vigilance of youth laptop army of volunteers.

Nais ko lang pong ireport ang pagtrato ng mga taga “Comelec sa Mandaue City Cebu” sa amin, 1st time po naming magparehistro sa comelec at mga estudyante po kami na ngayong summer lang ang pagkakataon na makapagrehistro kasi busy na kami ngayong Klasi, tatlo po kaming puro mga estudyante na pumunta doon, sa halip na irehistro po kami, tinanggihan po kami at sa halip ay pinababalik kami sa August 15, 2009, 3 months from now, eh napakatagal pa po noon, para bang may ipinahihiwatig na bayad para maipadali ang pagpaparehistro, kasi meron kasi akung kakilala doon, na madali lang daw silang inirehistro. so meaning may favoritism na nangyayari. sana ho maaksyunan nyo po ito. Sana Maimbistigahan po ito ng kinauukulan, kasi ang laki po ng pundong ibinigay sa Comelec, Bakit napakahina ng COMELEC sa Mandaue City, Cebu. akala ko prioridad kaming mga kababataan ngayon ng COMELEC? parang itinataboy kami ng COMELEC sa Mandaue?
