Now that the results are out, winners are obvious, can you say you are satisfied with the automated Elections? Can you accept the results without any doubt? Are you amenable of the results like Lito Lapid as Senator, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as Congresswoman, Manny Pacquio as Congressman and the many others whom , I thought, may have been qualified to run but are not qualified to have a position in the government. Many things are questionable in this election. Two of which are the winners' ability to take over thier posts and to carry out their responsibilities and another question is the reliability of the results. For me, I can say that both points are doubtful.

i am satisfied with the results of the use of the machines, and i have no doubt that the people are the real winners. what i am not happy about are the results. i'm not really pro-noynoy and i accept his winning, but imagine, if noynoy didn't run then we have erap again? sometimes i think the filipino people deserve the government we have because it is them that elected the officials in the first place. sad sad. but i am still hoping that we will move forward and progress. for the sake of our children.

Im still satisfied with the results. Let's accept the fact that even if we are doing automated elections, before we enter to cast our votes, there are already those who will pay for your votes. As what we have heard, there were already instances where in ballots already have been filled out before we do. Some will give the money and they will be there up to the very end of the voting process. Before the results, cheats had already been made. So i think this is more about of how dirty our politics is.

It's about time we give education top priority so that when the time comes that a newbie joins politics it would purely be based on his capability to lead and not on his educational background. So far i can say that i am satisfied with the outcome of the automated elections but not the voters ability to choose a better candidate. There are a lot of promising candidates who were featured on TV shows but sadly a lot of people did not take it as enough reason to vote for them but rather on a candidates popularity. If we want educated votes then we need to educate our voters first.
