Elections: Php10,000 per brgy. captain for 12-0 turn out

Secretary Gonzales should really know how to shut up sometimes. He can really be too tactless sometimes. Did you hear about what he said about Julia Campbell being careless? Can you imagine that? To even blame Julia, the victim! I hope Malacanang does something about this guy.

I think they have two sets of Election Codes: One for the administration and another for the opposition. The one thing that really got me upset about this news is that Comelec Chairman Abalos is siding with the DOJ stating that what Gonzales did was not illegal. Abalos is supposed to be "neutral" but since he's an appointed official all he can do is kiss a*s. GMA's lackeys are going to twist everything they say and do in order to come out the winner in this election. And once again the Filipino people are the biggest losers in this game.

if i am asked to name at least 10 government officials who can make my blood boil, raul gonzales would be one of them. he really is so tactless which leaves people wondering if it's the old age or simply because he's just bad mannered. his remark on ex-president cory aquino and kris aquino, his opinion on julia campbell being careless and now this 10k for barangay captains in iloilo who could deliver a 12-0 vote. that old man i out of his mind!

The DOJ chief offer is nuts! Even if he offered ten times bigger, he knows that 12-0 is next to impossible. He cannot buy us because we are not stupid like him! How i wish to cut his devilish tongue! Everytime he opens his mouth, it makes me sick. No wonder that the files on his table are getting heavy everytime i see him on tv because he is very much busy in politics.

They are of course, playing on the technicalities of the law. It is a good way of justifying themselves from their own cowardice/powerlessness against the administration. Rather than hit a brickwall, they would rather hide behind the law and reason out why they shouldn't hit the wall in the first place. Pacquiao I could more or less understand on giving away insurance cards. The id*ot probably didn't know it was illegal in the first place. You know how ignorant he is on these things. Chavit, well he's another matter. We all know how this guy lacks morals. Betraying your best friend, bribery, suddenly showing up on a hostage scene without authorization, giving away money as "raffles", giving 500pesos to kids on the bus, crashing his own plane for publicity (not proven, but I wonder), and finally, offering 50k then suddenly backing out when he sighted the media. I doubt if Gloria still wanted to stick up with him after all his mess, but we all know how much utang na loob GMA owes him, right? He holds her on the neck. Now Gonzales, the one I'm really fuming on. Tackless indeed. The opinions he aired is repeatedly denied and disclaimed even by Malacañang. There was a news back then when Malacañang warned him against airing his not-so-intelligent views. I think they would also have dropped him if only he isn't so useful to them. After all, he's a complete administration guy, so all forms of misconduct done by its members escape him.

sec gonzales should be removed from his office. his irresponsible remarks put the government in bad light. Also chavit's name should be changed to "sabit" because he always says things that make him "sabit"

Bribery!!! What's new anyway? Juan needs power, and the other Juan needs money. Let's face it. Most of the Filipino voting community are way below the poverty line. They need money, and come election time, any candidate who could give them the most win their vote. And it is not true either that the Juan who did not shell out his own money during his campaign period will not be prone to corruption. Nosireee!!! For the people who made his winning possible will be the ones to dictate him just the same. Unless all Filipinos become wealthy enough, bribery will always be present, not only during election time. Eradicate poverty and people will no longer be interested in money.

yes it is bribery to the highest level... heheh.. anyways.. if this is true, i just hope people would just accept the money and still vote for whoever they think will be good as a senator... i mean, Gonzales or whoever who will bribe wont know who will we write on that piece of paper right? lets just hope filipino voters will use their head this time....

I watched the late-night news the other night about that 10k, the insurance policies and even the lechon (what???) to bribe the masses.. and I was boiling when these people denied that they're vote buying. What do this people think about us? Dumb? My gosh! it's plain obvious that they're buying people's votes, even a 6 year old kid can see that, it's as bright as sunshine! And the fact that the guy is under the "JUSTICE department" makes the matter more sick! Ugh! What kind of thinking is that? I really don't understand, until now, I can't believe they're doing all these in a vulgar manner, as if what they're doing a simple thing like handing over their campaign leaflets... Politics!

secretary gonzales pointed out that this is actually not a vote buying because he is not the one running for the position. on the other hand it is an obvious bribery. the question that will they win with this dirty methods? im sure this wont help. and may the Lord Almighty forgive them.

I really dislike the way words come out on his mouth. That old secretary should learn to shut his mouth.

he should be put in trial for vote buying.....tsk tsk...even our justice official doesn't know the law that's too bad for our country
