I really think it is our duty to be concern and participate on the upcoming election. I hate to hear people say that they won't vote because it won't make any difference, and that who ever wins the election will only corrupt the people's wealth. It is the same as admitting that our country has no chance of getting better on its present situation. This is false. We can make a difference. Please vote. Please be aware and be concern. Let us make a mock election here. Who is your best candidate for the senate? If Joker Arroyo is not elected, I'll be devastated.

My vote goes to Migz Zubiri. He is a man of action. He just did not vote at congress but he pass laws and actually did his job. I don't like his character but the laws he pass are truely helpful to this country. I will vote based on the candidate's performance, those who sits at congress and senate, etc. not just for attendance sake.

Yes, we should vote. We should exercise our right of suffrage, whatever may be the outcome. We should select those whom we believe could minimize graft and corruption in our country.

I will not vote,and thats final.No amount of explanation would change my mind.Unless the foreign media would stay away from us,and the government would not use the military and the police,i will not vote. Joker, for me he is a joker,he is a liar,don't you understand.Why did he and the rest of the prosecutor walkout in the impeachment trial of Pres. Joseph Estrada. Because they are liars and only concoct the idea of graft and corruption against Erap to grab the power and ultimately to corrupt the system..After 5 long years and 80 plus star witness they prove one thing,Erap is not guilty,and they are the guilty party.Why can't they give the verdict,guilty or not guilty.Either way they are in a dilemma.

Last night I got the chance to watch the movie "all the king's men" and I was reminded of the upcoming election,In the movie, Sean Penn ran for a governatorial seat of Louisiana, one of his campaign speeches said that " If you don't vote,you don't matter" and it hit me because I am contemplating not to vote this coming election not that I don't have any candidates but thinking that I'll spend money going back home where I am registered makes me think twice. But if I don't vote..I know I don't matter..and I don't like it.So yes, I will go home and vote on May 14 even if it means shelling out some money and effort on my part,I hope it could help our country in small way. The first man (candidate) coming into my mind for senator is Chiz Escudero..I just hope he'll do even better when he's already in the senate.

I saw the movie, I don't understand why Sean Penn needs to die in the end. It broke my heart.
