Election time once again. Time to choose your leaders. Time to think of the future of our country for the next 6 years. Time to hear a lot of campaign jingles, candidate promises, etc...etc...
For those who are keen enough to follow the rules, the word "honesty" during the election period is a sure "hit". Of course, we always hear it the word from all areas: candidates campaigning for an honest counting of votes, the church saying that honesty is a virtue so candidates must adhere to it win or loss, and other concern citizens who find the word "honesty" lost in a country that is already known for having the worst of electorial system.
Deaths at its worst for some candidates might bring out a shockwave but is not anymore new. Vote buying is a violation that most people anticipated yet make it a point to stay quite as possible. Others are offering more than verbal promises. Lechon manok and life insurances are given that also goes with "vote buying". Unfortunate for those who catches the media. Now they have to explain their side to the COMELEC.
How about those who clearly give out favorable items on the day of the election or even before? Aren't they going to face the same case of vote buying just because the day after is not already an election period?Who's to blame in the most common violation yet the most to be ignored(?) during election? The people who doesn't care as long as they receive something in exchange of their votes? The candidates who just keeps on doing it because they know, people anticipated it?Or the government system which only is half if not one-fourth honest on seeing that this must be stop?
The reality is still there...

Philippine in the Globalization
The changes made about by being one of those who have an open market is something that brought a lot of improvement and development. Though, as history goes, it takes a lot of blood and sweat, and sacrifices before we Filipinos were able to feel the "good" side of the change.
The term "globalization" has acquired considerable emotive force. Some view it as a process that is beneficial—a key to future world economic development—and also inevitable and irreversible. Others regard it with hostility, even fear, believing that it increases inequality within and between nations, threatens employment and living standards and thwarts social progress. This brief offers an overview of some aspects of globalization and aims to identify ways in which countries can tap the gains of this process, while remaining realistic about its potential and its risks.
Globalization offers extensive opportunities for truly worldwide development but it is not progressing evenly. Some countries are becoming integrated into the global economy more quickly than others. Countries that have been able to integrate are seeing faster growth and reduced poverty. Outward-oriented policies brought dynamism and greater prosperity to much of East Asia, transforming it from one of the poorest areas of the world 40 years ago. And as living standards rose, it became possible to make progress on democracy and economic issues such as the environment and work standards.
The question then is, does the Philippines really get the benefits that globalization somehow will bring to the country? Weighing its good and the bad effects, which side do our country had more? What can possibly be done to maximize the good effect of globalization in our country?
Research more and Good Luck.
