Election: The time where politicians exercise their right to be voted by the people.
Where we can see politicians working their dumb asses under the heat of the scorching sun, with all smiles, waves, handshakes and flying kisses, in exchange for a name listed on a ballot.
Where a gunman and sniper work hand in hand for a bucket of cash. Where running Mayor will hire someone to kill co-running Mayor due to fear of losing.
When a small amount of money, a lunch with the whole barangay and a kilo of rice will give a count.
Where an empty wall becomes a big canvass of a politician's unfulfilled promises and streamers are full the politicians face.
It is the time where Nancy Binay, as described by Wikipedia, the the most vilified senatorial candidate in the 2013 elections, due to her political dynastic connections, lack of experience in high-level administration/legislation, and supposed lack of intellect would run but not wanting to engage in debates and informs the public that she is well fit for the position although she knows nothing.
Where Vice-Ganda gets applauded for making the right choices of senators (experienced and intellectually motivated).
Where Cynthia Villar downgrades the Filipino nurses and still has the guts to face the Filipino people.
Where Chiz Escudero uses Heart Evangelista for publicity but does not have any platform and haven't had any improvements from Bicol to senate.
Where liquor-ban is implemented but excludes foreigners.
The election dilemma where people's idealism of good governance will be taken inconsideration as numbers inside a ballot box waiting to reveal the next Philippine history.
