I wonder ... when is the next election of any kind in Bohol?
Could we in Tubag Bohol, perhaps, launch an "Educational Campaign" to effectively "thwart" vote-buying ... make it "outdated" in Bohol? How do we go about designing a strategy of what and how to "RE-EDUCATE" our people?
I still think that if these masses are really itching for the Candidates' money and we just cannot stop them from accepting the "Bribe", they can be taught to accept
but NOT deliver? They are not obliged to make good of an agreement or contract that is "illegal" --- "ab initio" (meaning illegal and immoral from the start / beginning) as the the said contract is
NOT BINDING?
The way our electoral system is designed, is there a way for a vote-buying candidate to "CHECK" and "VERIFY" if those accepting their money have really made good of the implied bargain?
One would
NOT know whose vote was it, when the votes are read or being tallied? Except maybe for the penmanship? I mean ... wala may pirma sa voting sheet mismo?
(Di ba --- Dili man mahibaw-an kung kang kinsang buto ang ginabasa ug gi tally?)
Mga legal minds diha ... comments pod please?
There must be a way to stop this "vote-buying" practice just so one could land in public office!!!
A slogan perhaps to the effect that:
Kandidatong mopalit sa buto, dako nga mangingilad ug CERTIFIED: k******n! Ayaw gyod saligi sa imong kinabuhi!!! Pagmata, Bol-anon! Ayaw pailad! Linkback:
