Election is just few months away. Political ads is now a common sight on the tv, though it said paid for by this candidate's friends, wasn't born yesterday. And many people are taking advantage of everything too. Soliciting. Some are just smart, saying they are just getting few amount of what this politician have corrupted. I don't know if they outsmarted the candidate or they are the ones being outsmarted. Like the case of my colleagues, who have gone soliciting money from political candidates. The last one that they have gone asked them something in exchange of money. Vote straight. And every colleague have to be asked one by one, in a closed room. Now, who outsmarted who? It will be a machine do the counting but how about the promise or favor they have been asked? Oh well...by the way each colleague receive 2,000 Phil. Peso, that is around more than $40. P.S. Thanks sir @louievill for making me post this. **image is from a friend

I know some countries corruption is a huge problem and seems very difficult to eradicate.

@Lucky15 And that's a bad thing to do , to talk to them one by one , because it's harassment . But well , that's the price of getting the 2000 from them . Wow, that's a big amount .

I think if we knew how many politicians got into the government by cheating or paying someone off, we would be shocked.
