Iglesia ni Cristo has officially endorsed Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas for President and Vice President. Remember: In 1998, they said Erap-Gloria; in 2004, they said Gloria-Noli. (Reminder to self: For the heck of it just go through May 1992 related reports later.)
I can just imagine being a Villar supporter right now. It must feel like it's already the 4th Quarter with only five more minutes to go and your team's always been so close but the other team's always pulling away at some point, and just now, just now someone from the other team got a steal, hit a three-pointer with it and made the free throw after that because there was a frustrated foul from beyond the rainbow arc, completing a fantastic four-point play and now the crowd is going wild and your corner of the stadium is quiet, save for murmurs of last minute prayers.

On another development entirely: voting machines have failed tests because their compact flash cards contained wrong instructions. SERIOUSLY? SIX DAYS TO GO AND YOU'RE TELLING US THIS? And now they're recalling ALL 76,000 OF THEM -- apparently, in some areas, votes for Noynoy Aquino and Manny Villar came out counted in favor of administration candidate Gilbert Teodoro, as reported to Comelec by Nacionalista Party.
This sucks thoroughly because if there's a surefire way to sabotage Teodoro's campaign entirely, this would be it. I mean, the guy's not even participating in mudslinging and yet this "eleventh-hour glitch" has already damaged his would-be mandate's credibility, if ever he is elected president by what they tout as the "silent thinking majority" -- and I've been seeing a lot of good friends rooting for Teodoro, mind. And it's a crowd that includes my dad.
So yeah, that said: FIVE DAYS TO GO. May election nga ba o wala?
Kate, sinong iboboto mo? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha wala pa! I totally had my mind made up for once, but then new developments are driving us crazy. I do have a senatorial line up though, and one thing's for sure: Ang Ladlad, number 89 po sa balota. haha.
