11 days to go before 2010 national election, will you go out and vote?

Yes, I will surely go out and vote. This is the time that my voice will be heard. I know this is just one vote but I believe this one vote counts. Same as you my list is not yet complete, and I am still looking for the possible candidates to vote especially in the local election and senatorial race. I have my own bets for the presidency and vice presidency although I am a bit confused of the two choices I have for the presidency race. I still have a week to think about it. And I am pretty sure that in May 10, I have my complete list and confident enough to stand for whom I will be voting. This election is a very crucial one because this is the chance for the Philippines to go farther and make significant changes for the greater of the people and our country. So let's grab this opportunity to wisely choose the right people who we know are the most fit to govern our economy, our country. God Bless, Philippines!

May 10 certainly is one day all of us have been waiting for...And that is to cast our votes to the candidates, who will uplift all our dying hopes and impose drastic changes for this country...It's a big YES for me, to go out and vote..My single vote may not be enough but for sure it will make relevance to my candidate's success....and our Country's good governance.

Yes I would definitely vote. I have friend who is running for Councilor in our city and he has a good standing based on the surveys. He is the exact opposite of the usual candidates who were running in the same position or even in the whole political system here in the Philippines. We have seen how principled he is and he was able to top the surveys even though he didn't have money in his campaign. He just made the people listen and educate them. Hopefully, he will succeed until the day of May 10. I just wish that a lot politician will be like him. He was offered with P20,000 by Loren Legarda but he didn't accept the money despite his team members and the mayor asked him to take it. He said he is not supporting Loren and couldn't take anything especially if the money came from the party that he condemns. His team told him that Loren wouldn't even know if he is supporting her or not anyway, but he stood to his beliefs. We need someone in the government who doesn't operate only for money but someone who is sincere to help for the service of the majority.

Of course I still would. It's my chance to have a say on who will run the government, and I would definitely not let it pass. I think more and more voters now are really looking forward in exercising their right to vote cause it's a chance to finally change the way of our government after 9 years. I truly hope that the one who would win the elections is the best person to lead our country.

Absolutely i will vote too, i mean each and every voter should vote so that their voices will be heard. Yes we might just count as one but if we join together its going to be a huge number and it will have a good impact already. And we need to vote for the future of our country and for our future generation as well.And we as much as possible should choose the right kind of candidates for the post not just because their popular but because we know that they are capable to run their post effectively.

Yes, I will definitely vote! I didn't complete senatorial list because if you put someone in your list, it's one count for that person already. I want to help my bets to win by NOT completing my senatorial list (i have only 3 bets). As for the presidential bets, I have my eyes set on Gordon. and Bayani for VP. They're the best team ever! I know they can make a GOOD difference. I know a few who wouldn't vote as well. It's really sad what those selfish politicians did not only to our country but to our people as well. I am also greatly frustrated with those who would vote for a candidate just because the candidate is famous. Like when I point out that my candidate is good. they'll say "yeah he is, but he wont win because he's unpopular". Then I am like "WTF!" haha. If all those who will vote because of popularity would use their heads and vote for someone unpopular, maybe the unpopular bet would win, and then definitely make a positive change for our country. The problem/trend in our country is that those who are famous tend to be bad leaders :( Why is it that we still keep voting those? You'll vote someone who has a very bad track record because he's popular rather than someone who's unpopular but has a very goof track record? I wish Filipinos would think more rationally.

Very true Jinjer, one vote does make a difference at least. All of us should exercise our right to vote and be careful also because I have heard that this Smartmatic machine is so sensitive that at a single blot or smear on part of your ballot print , it will be having a difficulty to read your vote. Just correct me if I am wrong to what I have heard regarding this. As for me, I will also vote to make sure I have been counted and responsible enough to take part of this important event in our country. I just hope that this coming election will be peaceful and no cheating be involve. Besides, what we are all fearing for that will happen is if there will be power interruptions during election day..are you also in favor of partial manual counting??

hello jinjer, I have to. otherwise i'd rather abstain because what's the point of pointing if you can't find the one you want to lead the country.unfortunately, i no longer have the capacity to campaign for him. no more money. but at least i get to see updates of those who are voting for him.it's the only contribution mandatefor me to choose who is the best candidate to qualifiy for the leadership of the country.

I will still vote despite of what is happening to our country right now. I am hoping that there is still a change in our government system , that there would be no corrupt leaders that will be sitting the position. It is hard but we dont have a choice but to hope. Many candidates are after the position of the most powerful ruler of the country because they all have personal intentions, to be wealthy among all. But my bet this coming election is already a millionaire and he is right, he doesnt have a reason to robbed the wealth of the country because he is already rich and have everything in life.

Of course I'm gonna vote, my vote is very important to our future and to next next generation that would come. I believe that our country will still change, and every nations that belong to this country will be at peace. Hope that this country will soar high and I guess it all start with ourselves if we want changes...And I still doubt about this coming elections, coz we have 2 more weeks but this automated machine still not clearly finale, the processing and tutorial for the teachers how it would be use still not completely yet...

yes i will., there is still hope awaits us., i still hoping that there is still a good leader who will guide and stand to fight for our right., that is why elections is still with our prayers, that God touches the heart and open their mind to vote a good leader., God only knows the mind the heart of every politician.,

Of course I will..it's every persons national responsibility to vote..to choose whose going to be the next leader of the country..Every persons vote are important..the country's future relies on it..in this simple way, we can help our country to improve itself..we dont need to have an important role to the society because our responsibility to vote is too enough to play our role in our respective countries..

yes, yes, i will even though i still havent made up my mind yet. it's so difficult to choose these days. im not really much updated about these politicians. still have to give more attention to choose the right (?) or better ones.

From the time i was a registered voter i do exercised the right to vote every elections. Even if the one i voted did not won, at least i do my part. Not all of us has the right to vote only those who are 18 yrs of age above.So if you have the chances go and do it on may 10...Just choose a candidate who'm you know has the ability to change the government we had right now which is really not a good one.

I am still on the fence about voting basically because I still cannot decide on who I would be voting for. They seem all the same to me. Although I know voting is not actually a right, but a responsibility, still it's a bit disconcerting to vote especially because nothing is really happening in our country.

I always exercise my right to vote since then, never minding any negative happens. I shall follow the rules and regulations of the state where I belong.

I won't be voting since I am still below 18 years old. But if I am 18 years old and allowed to vote I don't think I want to vote at all. That's my honest opinion. Quite selfish huh?

I will go out and vote. I volunteered to be a poll watcher in one of the volunteers organization, for that I am helping those people who wants to have a clean election in our country. I am going to vote wisely and straight!

definitely yes cos it is my right to vote and dont want to miss it. have the right to choose no matter my candidate will win or loose as long as i do my part...go out and vote and who knows.....

yes i will vote even though i live right now in pasig but registered at paranaque. we all have right to vote. its freedom of speech.
