I promised myself to stop browsing about politics after this election day, especially that I got hook into the Green Team fever this past few months… not only because I am following a favorite presidential candidate but I’m learning the other good side of Philippine politics.
Now is the occasion to cast my vote… and they said this year’s election is historical since it’s the first time the Philippine Government launched the Automated Election. I travel to my province to take part of this occasion with a little excitement of how it will turn out. But to my little dismay, I never imagined a long line and long hours of waiting in order to reach the door of my precinct and finally feed my ballot to the PCOS (precint count optical scan) machine… well, this is the machine that makes our election automated. Four hours of waiting under the heat of the sun just to cast my vote turned out not an automated election to me, and I just thought that maybe only the transmission of votes is automatic but not the whole election process.
My impression and observations may not be that good but I’m glad I managed to finish the election activity. I hope and pray that whoever gets the mandate of the people will lead the Philippines into a better place to live in, for the future of my little daughter. God bless the Philippines!
