Will you be voting for this coming election?

I absolutely refuse to vote. I understand that it is my "right", but frankly, it doesn't matter who you vote, or who is elected...things always go wrong and lots of people aren't happy. So I don't bother.

Is this the new referendum everyone was speculating about? I'm voting for no-one, they're all buggering liars.

I have to vote as part of practice of our religion to give what is due to Cezar. I do not know yet who to vote, though.

we have the right to vote. but for me, if i were to choose to vote or not to vote, i wont vote, because i know there will still be cheating and sometimes killings. our politics is dirty and full of lies... im from mindanao, and thinking about counting votes, sometimes i think if our votes are counted.

Voting is not only a right but also a responsibility. Since it is a responsibility, i believe it is of utmost importance to study your candidates and be very critical in voting, especially on the national scale government candidates because they will be seated for 6 years and run our country. I think the country is on the verge of eruption and a poor choice might just lead us all into great calamity. This is a very important time for us Filipinos and I am glad that there are still people like you who look forward to contributing for the well being of our nation by wise voting.

Yes, definitely! If you are a true Filipino in blood and soul you must vote for that signifies your love for your country.

I have been always voting when there are elections like this. I wanted my vote to be heard even if it is less than 1% of the total population. I think we should exercise it because that is the only chance our voices will be heard.

Well, I have my voter's ID. I have been reading and updating myself of the political issues in he Philippines. I wish to vote but I can't. In the place where I am situated now, it is far to vote. I am in another country. I wish they have those voting thing here.

hello there, i wish i could vote for this election, i already have my voter's id but i am not sure if i am still on the list of eligible voters coz i was not able to vote in the last election coz i was not able to transfer my registration the last time & i am living far from where i register... hopefully, we can go back to the town where we register and hopefully our names are still there... all of us are hoping to vote for the lesser corrupt, lesser evil official...hehe good luck to all of us!

well, first it was my turn to exercise my rights as a citizen of this democratic country, so why not not to vote either

I haven't got m voter's id yet but according to them, it's okay. I will be voting this coming May and it's my very first experience to vote... ^_^

hello vycess, as long as you are REGISTERED VOTER, there's no problem for you to vote. i have emailed comelec regarding this matter, and they told that they're won't be much printing of I.D's until july of 2010. so, who is this lucky candidate that's gonna get the vote from you? Elections is 60+ days away so you will have plenty of time to vote for the right person.

ya i vote for this election. it is the basic rights of a citizen. a true citizen must vote in the elections. i voting since i attained 18 years of age. i never missed an election since that. it is a nice experience and also a proud thing that i am also a part of selecting a leader.

I don't want to because election is already over before the election day comes. It is just so sad that most of us doesn't believe the election process anymore. Well we cannot blame our people because of what happened to our country. On the second thought why don't we give it a try this time. Let us exercise our rights to choose.

Sure, it is my right and privilege to vote. I guess you are from the Philippines too, and i encourage you to vote wisely this coming election, especially that it will be your first time to exercise your right. I really do pray that we, Filipinos, would be matured enough to select the best candidates who will be allowed to govern our country. Yes, you may be right in saying that we will be voting for the ones who are less evil/corrupt. I really pray hard for the future of our country. That is why i pray for God's intervention that our votes will not just be based on our own personal interests but for the sake of our future, the future of our country and the future of our children.

Oh yes I will definitely vote for this coming election because a very good friend of ours is running for councilor. We have very high hopes for our friend. He is supposed to run as an independent candidate but it would be quite impossible to win. However, our friend really have strong principles and even if he is running with a party he has refused some offers from the incumbent mayor which is really shows some corruption practices. It's a good thing though that the mayor is quite respectful with his ideas too. Our friend said he couldn't accept those offers coz those are the things that he would want to fight off if he'll have the chance to sit in the office. I hope there are more new politicians who got principles who can have the chance to be in the government office. Someone who is not afraid to fight for the right things. I hope our friend wouldn't change too and wouldn't be eaten by the system someday.

always vote but for national election only and not for local. since im pregnant right now and i know that theres too many people in there, im thinking if it will be safe for me to vote though i saw pregnant women before in voting area. we really cant avoid any hated arguments between different party and thats what im trying to avoid since its national election. but if i see that the place is safe then i will vote. besides its my last vote being single coz i know next time im already a mother

Yes, I will definitely be voting this coming election. Although I did not yet get my ID but that should not stop me from voting. I know I need to vote for the right people for our country and for our future.

It is our right to vote for the right president according to our conscience and good issues which the candidate could present. I will choose the one capable of leading our nation into good governance. Evaluate his character, integrity, platform, by way of media ,speeches, and background achievement. Although we cannot say candidate is not so perfect in our taste but will be able to run our country for good. It is better to vote for him/her to exercise our right to vote.

Nope, I am not voting because i think what our country needs is someone that can prove it first than talk first. Well, i guess we have some good names on the list of candidates and lets just hope that they will do well. I am looking forward for a better country in the coming years. God bless to everybody
