Lin, what do you mean by "those people back home who has nothing to gain nothing to loose"? I think our people has to realize that they are the beneficiary of a good governance. There's an urgent need to inculcate to the minds of our people that they have to be more smarter in choosing their leaders. They should stop taking the "insults" (without them knowing it) by accepting money from these candidates. Yeah, I always believe these candidates buying votes are insulting the the voting public. It surely isn't generosity. It's a form of corruption that these candidates are involving the people! This got to stop jud.
'te, I completely agree with you. In order for this wretched phenomenon to cease, it will take proper action from the administration and the legislative body to place sanctions or arrest those who are propagating the act of vote buying. If no one is punished for these crimes, it will only continue and become part of the Filipino political culture. Its disgusting to think about it, but that is the only way it will stop. It has to begin form the bottom up, as well as cooperation from the heads of government.
One thing for sure, its going to take someone who has guts to quarrel with the 'powers that bee' in government, to challenge the so called 'status quo en politicum'
Who will it be? And when?
