I personally believe that 99 % are corrupt that is why I dont vote. Its a waste of time going to precints to vote for a person that will rob your taxes. Some of my friend told me that they are choosing the LESS EVIL. But evil is still an evil right?
If you dont vote in the elections, Comelec will declare ita failure. Honest and compenent people will now have chance to truly serve the people.
Imagine a president having a salary of P60,00 a month. Thats P4.32 million pesos in a 6-year term. And yet the law allows, any presidential candidate to spend P100M during campaign?
That is how stupid the Philippine law is.

You can say that again! The Philippines is going down the drain, I tell you! A big reason for this is that our politics is nothing more than business to a lot of our politicians. They'd do anything to win, even kill an opponent, just to be able to, as they call it, "serve" their constituents. Tsk. Its just a pathetic vendetta. I mean, those people wouldn't kill just to serve, that's why for sure there's something else they get from penetrating into the political sphere. They have vested interests for themselves and that's such a disgrace! What's more is that instead of being "piblic servants" they're the ones with those wang wangs on their luxury vehicles and so many back-up cars with bodyguards. They think theyre the king of the roads. I mean what the hell is that. It's like the people are slaves, and them, the masters. That's why I didn't even register for the upcoming elections since i know that choosing the lesser evil still is evil. Im doing the country a favor by not voting.

I am a Filipino American & had lived here most of my life. I hate to say that Filipino politicians are really corrupt. There is no choice but to vote people who have money to run for elections. Poor people are just laughed out.
I had seen how Fiipino politics are & I really hate it. They usually have medical missions during elections. These politicians smile in front of people but are mostly hippocrites. They usually take pictures of their projects but some of this arent really their projects.
Here the name of the game is HIPPOCRISY. This is the reason I went back to the US last year. Some politicians falsify records like the person I know. He shows people that he washes his feet as an apostle every Holy Week. Most of them show people that they are religious but in reality they arent. They usually use the rosary as their front. They usually give flowers to the death so that people will see their names. However, they dont even know the person personally.

The reality is : Politics is the mother of all businesses in the Philippines. It is a good source to make a better living. Politicians give you business including monkey business.
The 90% corrupt politicians are voted into office because 95% of us are gullible.

this is unhappy to work out human beings like metallic misinform with the aid of the msm. Ron Paul replaced into our shot at defeating obama. At a minimum he had to be married and on board with the value ticket. Oh properly, perhaps the politically gentler touch of rand will succeed in 'sixteen.

Yes it is a common knowledge that most politicians in the country are corrupt.. but think about it, if you're not going to exercise your right to vote its like saying you don't care about the country anymore bc you're letting these people dominate. If we want change, it should start with us, the people, making wise judgements and doing our part.. that's all thank you!

Philippine elections are as corrupt as its government. Unfortunately, your vote will not stop them from deciding who will seat the presidential chair.

You just try to vote for the least corrupt person. Or at least the one who is most effective, even if he/she is corrupt. Sad reality in our politics.

yeah..
when choosing among evils, choose the lesser evil.
besides, not voting changes nothing as if you show no concern to whatever happens... do you know el fili? when you already have gray hair and look back and see that you did nothing for your motherland, you'll feel ashamed
