I think our country doesnt have chance to have a good leader there would be no change anymore. Obviously all the goverment officials are corrupt and all of the people of the philippines knew it. They want to be a president because they just want to be like gloria arroyo who became richer when she became a president. Poor Philippines this country is hopeless because this is full of government corrupt officials

Don't lose hope. Change is still possible. All we have to do is to start it on ourselves. Let us just not look on who's to blame. Instead let us think on how we can help this country.

I think that the upcoming election will be a most interesting election for many reasons. We have a basically unknown candidate backed by the administration up against a lot of hopeful oppositions. It will also be the first national election to be automated. I guess, that alone would perk up anyone's interest. It would be fascinating to see how the automated would succeed or fail at.
An election is always an opportunity for change. If you think that the current government is shameful, it is but your right and duty to vote. Use that vote to promote change. Filipinos need to be more vigilant and closely guard the upcoming polls to initiate that change that all Filipinos so want.

I still believe there will be change since change is the only constant thing in this world.
Even if I feel that the government is not doing hard enough for that change we really need, I still find myself going out and cast that vote hoping for my candidate to win and see change.
This coming election I wish it will be computerized so that there will really be a change in the way we vote firsthand.
It is your right to vote and maybe not vote but your vote is what we need to have that change.

Be a registered voter. Your one vote could make a difference. You may need that document also sooner or later in your life.
I do believe that still there will be change worth waiting. Change is better to hope for than to see things becoming stagnant. This upcoming election is the most exciting one since I started voting I supposed. First, this is an election to where a disgrace administration could prove they were worth the trust imparted to them by tapping unknown person as their official bet; second, a regeneration of old-time tandem is worth watching also (Noynoy-Mar); third, a poor boy who claimed to be rich now but can't fix his old tattered home is there; fourth, let's see how computer literate we are; fifth, let's see how the youth could make a difference.
We're in for a historic event, for good or bad, I just don't know.

Well, it's free to dream. lol =) Change! Of course there will still be a chance to change. And that change will start from us. You have said that you're 22 years old and not yet a registered voter. You are hoping for a change but then you are not starting it on yourself. You're vote will surely make a difference. Believe me. We just have to be careful this time and think a thousand times before choosing our bet. Let's go hand in hand so that we can have that change that we are all wishing for.
