I've watched a couple of episodes of Harapan (senatoriables). But up until now, my list of the 12 senators is not complete yet. Do you know who will you vote for? Are you also making a list? I want to make a list so that I will not forget anyone come May 10.

I had made my list already, since I really don't want to forget anyone come May 10. But just like you, I still don't have a complete list, I think I only have 7 or 8m, and I really don't think I would be able to complete it. I just don't see anybody that is really worth voting other than those that are already on my list. I really do hope that the people would really think about who to vote and not just vote those who are popular and well known..

I attended a seminar on the automated election, and what they said that you can vote less than the needed number of candidates without spoiling your ballot, the only way you can spoil it is by voting more than the required number, or by putting marks outside the circle / oblong the you have to shade...

Oh, okay. Thanks for the information. I saw on TV that when we accidentally place unnecessary marks, the ballot will be returned.

I couldn't agree more. I'm just wondering if we can vote for less than 12 senators without spoiling out ballot. I'm really having a hard time completing my list and I don't want to do a shotgun and just vote for anyone that I don't really like.

Until now I really have not thought about the senatoriables. I mean how could Jinggoy be leading and Bong Revilla? No offense but really right now everything is so confusing with all the hate campaign. It makes me not want to think much about the elections.

Yeah, even Erap is climbing the polls. Although he's good, he still has records... bad records.
I don't know anyone voting for Bong and Jinggoy that is why I'm also confused about the results. Just think about this, the sample size in the survey do not represent the whole Philippines. They are just a portion of those citizens living in Manila.

Up to now I haven't completed my senatorial list. I haven't even started looking for senators who I will vote for. One senator is getting my vote for sure - Mirriam Defensor Santiago.

I'm voting straight LP.. :) But, I might include Tamano of NP in exchange for one of LP's senatoriables.. :)

Tamano seems good. I just have a few LP on my list. I don't know.. I'm not voting for the party but I'm voting for the capacity of each individual. I made a list and they are from different parties haha

I'm not yet done with my list. At this point I'm sure at only 2 candidates so 10 more to go. Its advisable to make a list so we won't forget who we will vote for. Just make sure to dispose it properly so other people won't know your candidates.

You have a long way to go. I need around 2 more... I'd probably do my research about their laws and past performances to know more about them.
