May 9 is Election Day in the Philippines. I hope everything is in order despite vote buying seems rampant here. Well, I won't say more for I don't want my country to be in jeopardy.
I am exercising my right as a citizen of my country and I will vote wisely.
How about you? Any thoughts?

I'm going to vote definitely as i've always exercise my right to suffrage. I'm not sure if i'm voting wisely. I'm voting for those who can protect my business. Being selfish? Maybe, but i have to protect my personal interest. I'm just being honest.

@Macarrosel It's rampant all over the country. My whole family is in politics and one of my cousins is a friend of our dear President. There's a budget for vote buying in each Barangay all over the Philippines. And I know exactly how much it is.

Thanks for being honest. That's your prerogative anyway. By the way, is vote buying rampant in your area too? It is already a trend in our place every election. People are always asking for money before voting. That's sad news.

Me too. I will try my best to elect a not-so-evil candidate.

I'm still struggling with whom I will vote for here in the US next November. It's often a very tough decision and not one to be taken lightly. Good luck with your decision.

What a lovely view it must be from up unfortunately im sure it will be loud and,im tired of cities.
So you have corrupt politicians in your country? must admit we dont have such problems here and if at all, very rare and almost unheard of.

Yeah, we have a lot of corrupt politicians here. Although some of them were already in jail but a lot of young ones raise up and started to become politicians. I just hope less of them will be corrupt.
