"Halalan 2010, Ako ang Simula"

Historical, automated, transparent, efficient, precise and glamorous these are the words we hear after the election. However, challenging, inconsistent, unreliable and manipulative are the words we hear before the election.But what are really the most suitable words and phrases that describe the 2010 election? Well, lets go further.
The day had come, where everyone else all throughout the country are very busy thinking, searching and examining candidates to vote for, who will lead our country for the years to come. On the other hand thousands of people also in different provinces,cities and municipalities are very busy doing the opposite thing such as buying votes, convincing the other voters to vote and even uses force to threat the people not to go in their own precinct.
The whole day of May 10,2010 what I did was watching television from 6 in the morning up to 9 in the evening, so I can really say that as if I've witnessed the election all over the country. As early as 7am, a lot of "boto patrollers" already complain that the PCOS machine in their precinct is no longer functioning, while other voters are saying that it was the most terrible election they had ever encountered because according to them even the Board of Election Inspectors or the BEI's do not know how to organize their precinct, so to say they are very disappointed.
It is undeniable that there are really a lot of problems encountered during the election but at the end it turns out to be smooth. In just a day we already knew who are the leading candidates and the COMELEC had already counted almost 90% of the total votes all over the country.So to say, the best words and phrases that will describe the "Halalan 2010, Ako ang Simula" are historical,transparent, efficient, precise, less crimes and worth perspiring for.

  1. Last May 10, 2010, I was one of those people who witnessed personally the casting of votes. Though a lot of people expect the first Automated Election to be successful, there were still flaws in last election. There were some PCOS machines that did not function well. It was a funny thing that some BEIs literally used brooms to manage the PCOS machine in order for it to work. Filipinos use "high-tech products", yet some still go for "mano-mano".
