A day before or during election day, MONEY passes secretly but openly from candidate to voter. On those days, if money is offered to you, what will you do with it?

If I will be given money from candidates, I will report them to the police but I don't have any evidence to give them. So I'll just get the money and I will not give my vote to him.

If you give the money, then your prints are there.

Better keep the money yourself. If we want to be a hero, report just the mystery to the police. Hold the money until needed by authorities during investigation. And let go of the money after a receipt is issued in your name. It's risky, but it's how democracy is run.

I think it just like selling your morals and ethos with couple of dollars. That is not bearable. Election is to elect your favorite politicians of candidates not to sell your self.

What then can we say of the prevailing condition in your place during elections? No vote selling? No vote buying? Just curious.

Hi nic! There are times that candidates would leave some amount in a particular person assigned to do the task and this person will be the one to give it to the identified voters at the night before the election. Since it was given already, we will just accept it.

Accepting the grease money isn't a good index that you're for him. Weigh to find out the lesser evil. Hay, buhay!

Are candidates who are 'fortunate' (because of money) and won desired positions really to serve the electorate? Or we the electorate to serve them? (spoils from tons of project money).

But after elections, president is already an angel rendering great service to the people; doesn't interfere in the handling of money. Is this what you mean and what I understand?
