Social and political criticisms
It is filing of candidacy time at COMELEC in PHL and we see raising of hands of candidates, of new political parties and affiliation. Same names, different parties, allegiances and opponents. It is a sort of political merry go round and rigodon.
I do not think that parties stand for anything at all; in different places abroad, the Labor party stands up for the rights of labor, Communist Party stand up for communist principles. Democrats stand for the masses in USA, Republicans stand for the elite and wealthy. They represent principles and interests.
I would like to think that political parties here are expedient organizations to win an election (they do it elsewhere under a coalition)
Yes we have multiparty system here but they seem to have short shelf life...
Now COMELEC chief says the PHL party list system is a joke.
