I gave the first five reasons in the first part; here are the last five reasons on what makes the Philippines elections 2010 unique. 6.) Possibility of failure of elections – The fear of failure of elections is probably at its highest in the Philippines 2010 elections. This is probably because it is the first time that the country is trying out the automated elections. 7.) Most unpredictable outcome – The Philippines 2010 elections has definitely the most unpredictable outcome. Although surveys shows one candidate having a big lead among other candidates, it still remains to be seen as to who will win as … [Read more...]
Top ten Philippine elections 2010 spoofs & parody
Election is such a colorful time in the Philippines. I don’t think any other country can match the colorful and vibrant democracy that we have. That’s because the colors that come with the election is not abstract but literal. Literally, the entire country is covered with the colors of the respective candidates running for their desired post. When election time comes, all Filipinos agree that the circus has indeed come to town. Without a doubt Filipinos are the one of the most creative in making political ads, jingles and election related materials. Those making spoofs also would not want to be left behind. Since the Philippines is not only the “texting” capital of the world but also without a doubt the “social networking” capital, thousands of Philippines elections 2010 spoofs & parodies be it video or pictures has been uploaded to the web. I wish somebody would make a “Election spoofs and parody awards” in the near future. Anyway, to help you sort through the rubbish, here is … [Read more...]
Ten things that make the Philippine 2010 elections unique – Part 1
In less than 48 hours, history will be written. We will be crossing the “Rubicon” as a nation so to speak. This Monday, May 10, 2010 the Filipino people will make a decision that could make or break us as a nation. It will be the Philippines 2010 elections. The Philippine 2010 elections is definitely the most unique among all elections that has happened in this country. Here are the reasons why I think the Philippine 2010 elections is unique and will definitely earns a prominent place in our history books. 1.) Automated elections – This is the first time that the Philippines will be using counting machines to count votes on a nationwide scale. Take note we had been very successful (They say) in conducting automated elections in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao in 2008. A nationwide automated election is said to produce results much faster and eliminates cheating. This of course remains to be seen as critics has been warning about a failure in automated elections. Whether or … [Read more...]
Why Richard “Dick” Gordon should be the Philippines’ next President
A lot of people has associated me as being “Pro-Noynoy Aquino” for president and rightly so because I’ve sent a lot emails and has campaigned for Noynoy and Mar Roxas through social networking. I have even written a post “Noynoy Aquino for President in 2010” sometime in September 2009. I was originally pro-Noynoy only because of two reasons. First it was because I was originally pro-Mar Roxas, so when Mar Roxas stepped down to give way for the presidency of Noynoy Aquino then logically I would have to side with Noynoy. Secondly, although there were lots of good guys that were better than Noynoy Aquino in terms of a lot of things, however most of them are not “winnable.” Since Noynoy is the most “winnable” than he must be the most logical choice. I held a pro-Noynoy stance for several months until recently I realized that I was wrong. The choice of a leader should not be based on his “winability” (If there is ever such a word) but on his ability to lead the country. We should also … [Read more...]
Tsunami watch 2010
I certainly hope and pray that this will not be in another week of disaster after disaster. Right now, our eyes are glued on the computer surfing Tsunami watch websites and reading about tsunami warnings. The incoming tsunami is the effect of the massive 8.5 earthquake that rocked Chile last night. Thank God the damage done to Chile despite the strong quake and several aftershocks is not as worst as that of Haiti. Most experts say it is because of the preparations that Chile has undertaken in terms of infrastructure as compared to Haiti. (Chile has strict regulations with regards to their building code, whereas in Haiti there is even no building code) Nevertheless, we are still saddened by the fact that there were still lives lost in Chile. Since Chile is located at the outermost part of the Pacific ring of fire, it is projected that such a strong earth quake will generate a strong Tsunami that will hit the coast of countries and islands within the pacific ring of fire. Just several … [Read more...]
