do you think the younger generation can make an impact if they go out and vote and guard the counting process
i mean it will still be too grand a wish to ask that we can leave the ballots to the officials, with all the attempts of cheating going on
but say, if the younger generation keep watch, a vigil as they do, don't you think it will make such an impact? i still believe younger generation are more numerous tha the current registered voters.
what can you say, what can you suggest?

i dont think the youth could have an impact.first and foremost they are not united,second they can be easily influenced by power hungry group.they dont know if they are being used or being helped by their so called leaders.i think the political carnival here in our country would not change for the next 20 yrs or so.it may even be worse after 10 yrs..the problem is that we have so many groups hungry for that one seat which is that of the president.how many presidents do we have that dont have an anti-admin rally?i dont think i could remember such president in my 26 yrs of existence..what do you think these groups want??its the seat of power in malacanang....

i agree that the youth today are not united
but that is my very point, if the youth come together, do you think they can make a change???
if there are campaign enough to register and vote, do you think the number of youth can make an impact???
do you think by the number of youth, we can help decide the future of our country???

ya... the youth should participate in election process.The presence and active particiption of the youth will boost the democratic setup of the country. It is very sad to hear that on an avrage only 45% of population cast their vote. This should not be so in a democratic country.
Thanx

Yes, there are a number of our youngsters nowadays but the problem is that they do not also have the same principles and not united. Hopefully, we will have a better Philippines in the near future.
