Vote buyings, Dagdag/Bawas ( add/subtract ) political killings, political sabotage... These are some of the things that are happening dring the Philippine Midterm Election 2007! many Filipinos are wondering what happen to the Philippines? are these all the things we should expect when we will hold an election? Could'nt we change?
I admit these happenings are not isolated only in the Philippine elections but also to other countries but my point is why is these so rampant now. Are the stakes really that high for the politicians to resort to these anomalous and scandalous affars during election time?
Why can't we change? why can't losing candidates accept there defeat? why can't they just accept that they had lost.. why do they have to resort to vengeful political killings? Both side of the parties are throwing accusations of Dagdag/bawas... Isn't it ironic that if one wins the other party will accuse of vote buying and dagdag/bawas and vice versa? who ever wins he/she is accuse of questionable and anomalous election fraud... what a joke...

I think it could not be eradicated considering that there are parts of the country that are considered hot spot. Even in Maguindano we have seen how people were manipulated as well as I also seen some people voted more than twice and the Comelec could not do something about it.

maybe if our elections would become computerized finally, anomalies might be lessened, if not eradicated.
