12th Man

The elections held last May 14 has long been done and finished...yet the smoke has yet to clear. Who is it goin' to be? Once again, Mindanao is caught in another media circus...Put some tampered Election returns (ER), mix a little group of goons, add some election-related killings and garnish with Lintang Bedol and Eureka! Another recipe for worsening the image of Mindanao. The memories of "Hello Garci" are still fresh ( well, for some maybe) and here comes another scandal about the Philippine elections. Incidence of election-related killings, vote-buying, vote-shaving (dagdag bawas) and questionable tabulations run rampant everytime there is an election...and the things I mentioned are slowly becoming the norms. It seems like people have come to accept that these things come with the elections and nothing can be done to change it.
Eleven of our republic's new senators have been proclaimed. Left are two hopefuls who are playing tag-of -war for the last seat in the Senate. Each camp has claimed victory, but it has yet to be decided by the COMELEC, yet to be decided?!?It's been like, almost two months since the election and the COMELEC has yet to wrap things up? Well, I guess it wont be a problem for us Filipinos, Why? Because we are used to waiting... we always wait, especially for the government...Well, personally I couldnt care less if they decide to declare the 12th senator during the next elections...Im neither MIGZ nor KOKO...probably a combination of both MIKO...hehe...
