Meddling, illogical observations generalizations by foreigners?

Inquirer Comelec disputes IOM claims

International Observer Mission claimed that the 2022 elections did not meet the standards of fair and honest election because it was marred by vote buying, red tagging, disinformation, police  presence, election fraud, violence against local officials, and killings.  COMELEC has answered all but one, ie  vote buying.  .

That isolated cases were generalized is an illogical and flawed thinking  A few cases of failed VCM does not make the automated voting a failure (900/106,000 total VCM)  .  Inferences and inductive are flaws  in logical reasoning and should be defects only from LDC but not from Western nations.  That the local officials and senators were all ready proclaimed as duly elected and now we now conducting  a national Board of Canvass for President and Vice President belie  their allegations.  How can they be guilty of flawed non critical thinking?

Why would foreigners meddle in our election?   Did somebody pay them commission them to this observation?   Shall we be forever under the mercy of Westerners, foreigners?   Are they funded by the enemies of BBM, Duterte?

A candidate who made a comment selling votes is in a fix

It is more fun criticizing

While a Presidential candidate would seem to be the epitome of virtue,  she made a boboo on her comments about vote selling and buying which is patently illegal.   That priest said it, does not justify that it is right  

It is an electoral offense, a prohibited act under RA 6646

The good candidate a lawyer, forgot her laws.   What do we expect?   A bond paper clean new government.   Or practicality  will rule, just like in any other govt.  ?

Mabago na sana

                                             Mataas na ngayon.  P1,000 lowest, up to P5,000

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?

 Just barely 8 days before election, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, candidate for President seem to be very much ahead of his rivals, as gleaned from the videos and polls.  If you go to You Tube, you find the following:




1.  Duterte's name being shouted in motorcade for other candidate;

2.  Rally in Mindanao for another candidate, but shouting the name of Duterte;

3.  Really large crowds of attendees in rally vs pictures of other rallies which have been photoshopped and filled with filler pictures;

4.  Allegations of vote buying by admin candidate in MM gathering; (P1,000)

5.  Allegations of incentives by a lady candidate in Mt Province;

6.   Preliminay results showing Duterte to be ahead in OFW polls, HK and ME;

7.  Impolite OFW shouting the name of Duterte in rally of an opponent.

8.  Less than expected number of attendees of rival rallies/motorcade



The business community seemed to be acting negatively as Bloomberg reported a 0.1% dip in peso value, allegedly because of the prospect of Duterte being the new president.

There are two negatives for Duterte: (mukhang nalimutan na ang Australian rape issue)

1.  The alleged P211 million deposit in BPI Julia Vargas branch as alleged by Trillanes (how he got this and exposed this makes him liable for violation of bank secrecy law, a conduct unbecoming of a Senator/legislator)  He however denied that there are no millions in the said account;

2.   The alleged performance in the MBC forum where del Rosario commented that he had nothing concrete for businessman.  Well, he said he will have peace and order, and peace and order is a necessary condition for business to thrive
