Filing of Certificate of Candidacy

Philippines
October 1, 2012 10:12pm CST
The filing of certificate of candidacy was officially started yesterday. As you notice most of the aspiring candidate were arrived their with a bunch of supporters. That results some inconvenience to other candidacy and other people. Results traffic and etc. for other people who have nothing concern in filing any candidacy. The Aspiring candidacy must consider that the only start yesterday was the filing of COC not the campaign period. Too early for the Campaign.

Hello Tine! That's right. I don't see why take a lot of people during the filing. It is impractical and yeah it is inconvenient to the public. I'm glad though it's not like that in my place.

Hi. Candidates bring a lot of people to show that they have many supporters. That's a what we called "psywar". So that other candidates who are new comers will be discouraged immediately because they would think that they will just waste their money and time because they can see that it's just filing of candidacy and they already have many supporters. Unfortunately, "many" of those many supporters were being paid, or they just went there to see their idol politician or to be seen on TV or some of them are theft who acts like they are supporters but actually they are just looking around for suitable victim/s. That's the politics here in our country. They are now so busy preparing for the election next year yet they still have so many problems and jobs to do at their office.

The thing that don't like about it is that they look all smug and hey all think they will all win. They look so sure and maybe perhaps they have a reason too. After a circus of campaigning and mudslinging,they will cry foul when they lose their aspired positions. Then, if they win,they all think of the next campaign and not doing solid work as they are supposed to.

It's funny, many nuisance candidate filed yesterday. I guess that can't be stopped by our government.
