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...
