There's nothing new to it, right? Last elections I was able to receive money from a party but still, I voted according to my OWN choice. This time, my name was not included in the 'list' so I received nothing. I was glad because I felt 'free'. I was able to choose candidates freely. I was not 'threatened' with the watchers who would 'take note' of whom I will vote (they have their strategies of knowing). How about you?

I started voting in 2004 and I am proud to say that I never accepted money from the politicians. I always vote according to my conscience. I believe that it is my responsibilty as a Filipino to choose my country's leaders.

I did not receive any money from politicians, I didn't receive even sample ballots. I think the politicians never concentrated on giving money or goods to the people in the city but only in remote areas where people can be bought. In fact, in the city proper where I reside right now, had no politician entering house to house, so some of them are not familiar.I just choose those who really have good intentions to serve the public.

i have never received any money from politicians nor do i intend to accept them if ever they offer. it just simply goes against my principles. dangerous too, especially if the amount is ginormous.
