The 2010 Philippine General Elections
Well, the Brits and the US aren't the only ones voting this year. My Home Country of the Philippines also has a General (Presidential, Congressional, and Local) Elections.
As for the Presidential Elections, that is mostly a popularity contest as some Developing countries do. And the parties don't necessarily have much difference, most are socially conservative and always on a perpetual War on Poverty. Sad to say graft and corruption is as endemic as the days of the Gilded Age. My skepticism and apathy aside, I'm going to go ahead and support Noynoy Aquino of the Liberal Party for the Presidency, and the Current Majority Party of Lakas Kampi-CMD for the Legislative and local elections. The current administrations foreign investment and OFW priorities are what is currently keeping the country afloat so yeah. |
I had a picture with Gibo Teodoro when I went to the Philippines (im famous. :) ). So I support him. xD But it looks like hes gonna lose. :(

Personality and patronage at heart of Philippine polls http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47789000/jpg/_47789889_009233215-1.jpg Thousands of candidates are running for office across the Philippines Quote:

I was on the side of Manny Villar and the opposition, until I noticed how much money Villar spent on advertising. Well, now I'm siding with the Liberal party but my president will definitely be Joseph Ejercito Estrada.
Most candidates now use celebrities to promote them, which makes them desperate. They're so desperate they even use poor people to promote them. No offense to the candidates. :) yay 900th post^^ |
Aquino 'leading in Philippines presidential polls' http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47817000/jpg/_47817475_009258572-1.jpg Mr Aquino is the son of a beloved former president Quote:
Well it seems that Aquino is headed for a win. But I am a bit worried about the whole Executive vs. Legislative branch battles that might occur over this. One of the reasons things have been a bit better in the economic front was the fact that the Pro-Administration coalition was in power in the past Congress. |
In my opinion regarding the Vise-Presidential Race. Binay topped the polls/tally because of the endorsement of Chiz Escudero. :/
Where NoyBi is formed. |

Binay winning is cool for me. Actually, I don't even care about Vice Presidents. /facepalm I think, this was the fastest canvassing of votes made ever. Why didn't they already announce Senator Aquino as the winner? He has 13M+ votes, and Estrada only has 8M+. :/ |
I hope Risa Hontiveros will be proclaimed as 13th senator. (:
