Last Tuesday, galing ako sa Norte sa Region 1. In one of the vote rich towns in vote rich province it was reported that a mayoralty candidate was giving away P1,000 to every registered voter and the hundreds of tricycles lined up in front of his factory attest to the veracity of the report. Even bigger amount was given to barangay head. In one of the cities, it was reported that the level of vote buying was at P5,000 per, and the budget for the election at city mayoralty level was placed at P200 million. Wow
Today, this was reported in major dailies Vote buying incidents at MB
Just what can we expect from this candidates if they bought the votes? Surely there are financiers and ROI is expected. This coupled with many violation in the poster rules, is condemn able how many candidates made fun and mockery of election rules. How can we expect good government and progress improvement from these leaders. Shall our country be better if our misconduct with regards to governance and compliance is worsening?
