All senators proclaimed

yes, i agree. i voted for hontiveros and she was very close to the slot but she still didn't make it.

All senators are proclaimed but some of them are not qualified to be in the senate. I just couldn't understand why on earth that Lito Lapid is reelected?I extremely detested him, he couldn't even understand the laws and rules and regulations written in English. What had he done in the senate during his past term?I really want Rissa Hontiveros and Raffy Biazon to be included in the senate line up for this election, but they are number 13 and 14, I am so sad because Biazon is such a good lawmaker.

a little change from the past actually, the general population of voters are still immature and go for popularity rather than qualification. legislation sector should be academic in nature, because laws are complicated and written in a english language.

The senatorial election has been surprising for me. I remember jumping up in my seat when I got home after voting when I saw that Revilla was number one in the spot. I was like, "What could the people be thinking?" Despite the technological advancements of our electoral process, the popular vote still remains in force I guess. Cheers~

Lapid don't deserve to be there but we must respect the voters as well. Lito Lapid is popular than Hontiveros or even De Venecia. Popularity is also one aspect that Lapid had. But for me, he deserves not. I think that Hontiveros or De Venecia deserves to be the one of the senators.

Same old names, showbiz and trapos. I thought there were improvements in how the voter chooses the candidates this election but to my dismay it did not happen. I guess popularity is always a key in Philippine politics. Just look up the top winners of the race...

that's right. its kinda lame that people still chooses those who does not seem to have done anything while they were in the very same seat for a few years. they couldnt have done nothing as well now! geesh.. such a waste of votes putting action stars in the senate!!

Yeah I think Hontiveros could have made it there but I guess she has potential to be a good senator but did not make it.

Sad but true, what can I say. I voted also for those who deserve to be leaders but they seem to be not the choice of the mass Filipinos because we can see what happened to the tally of votes. Let us just hope that they will serve their country very well and have a solution for our country's problem. Happy Mylotting.

Yeah, I was hoping that both number 13 and 14 are still going to make the top 12, but sadly they did not. I am really surprised that Hontiveros and Biazon did not make it. They are really good in what they do, and I know they would have done something good if they were elected. Hopefully next time, we filipinos would learn that not because they are showbiz personalities, they should be voted. I totally agree with you on the Lito Lapid part. Argh. It's too frustrating.

Hello Jugger, I never voted for any one of them. but not just because i didn't want them but i got too nervous shading the ballot that it might not included if i ever made a mistake. but the so called winners are old people in the politics, even the biazon guy who's dad was also a senator there. the much deserving candidates wasn't included in the list, because some are really popular

I agree, people vote Lito Lapid because he's popular action star. I don't like most of the senators that has won. They still choose old senators, I want to give the newbie a chance.

A lot of Filipino are affected on the popularity of the candidate. That's the reason why Lapid won the senatorial race.
