Tomorrow, I will be casting my vote for the first time in the national elections. This, in my eyes, have been the most controversial, most discussed one ever since my birth. Since you know already who I am voting for this coming elections, then I won’t waste my time listing them down here as most of the reasons why I am voting for them is similar to each other.
That is why I came up with an idea on trying to predict the Philippine Elections 2010 Results.
For the presidency, a lot of people may be mislead to vote for Noynoy Aquino, the leading candidate. However, it appears to me that his lead which is very apparent in NCR might not translate with the votes in other parts of the country. When people in the province are asked, those with solid party foundations in the local government units lead the roll – something good for the administration bet Gilbert Teodoro and Nacionalista party frontier Manny Villar. With that said, as of the moment, I am expecting a three-way race to the presidency between Noynoy Aquino, Manny Villar and Gibo Teodoro.
With a margin of error of 2%, I made myself a list of probable sharing of votes in each of the regions of the country, just for fun and my list ended up with the following results with Gibo Teodoro possibly lower, as I assumed that the Mindanao votes are on his side along with Manny Villar. Visayas is definitely going for Gibo with almost equal following from Noynoy and Villar. The North vote was also considered – the places known to be in the side of Villar and the NCR and neighboring regions vote which was accounted to Noynoy Aquino.
Aquino, Noynoy – 29.94%
Villar, Manny – 29.16%
Teodoro, Gilbert – 24.60%
Estrada, Erap – 9.44%
Gordon, Dick – 4.78%
Villanueva, Eddie – 2.67%
Madrigal, Jamby – 1.36%
Delos Reyes, JC – 0.22%
Perlas, Nicanor – 0.18%
The work was tedious. This forecasting is very difficult to do. For the Vice-President position, the race is between two candidates Mar Roxas and Jejomar Binay – this boils down to the inclination of the Visayas and Mindanao votes. But for me, the Philippine Elections 2010 Results for Vice-President would be an upset win for Jejomar Binay with a close margin against Mar Roxas.
A lot of factors can affect the 2010 Philippine Elections Results especially for President and Vice-President as this will be the first year for the automated system to get on track. I fear of people losing their rights to vote just because of ignorance. I hope that the Filipinos are well-prepared to vote in this kind of system. I also hope that the Philippine 2010 Elections Results especially for the Vice-President and President positions will be released early and will be transparent enough as this the most crucial decision Filipinos will ever make.
Lastly, I pray that this 2010 Philippine Elections, both local and national levels, would be a peaceful one. Days before this, I was starting to feel bad vibes and possible bloodsheds this coming elections – I hope for safety of all and hopefully, our country will be lead by the best leaders with the true mandate of the Filipino people.
This is the April 28 episode of Kandidato, television’s toughest job interview, Nacionalista Party presidential bet Senator Manny Villar gets grilled by Arnold Clavio, Howie Severino, and Malou Mangahas on the topics surrounding his candidacy.
What I like with Villar is his consistency. His answer on which Philippine hero does he idolize is Andres Bonifacio, who like him, came from the poor, worked hard and is very brave. He has also shown me how great of a father and a family man he is – he brought his kids well, he said his happiest times are being with his family and children especially when they are all together celebrating New Year and Christmas.
The national elections is within reach and in fact, two days from now, we will go out of our houses, combat long lines to our voting precincts and vote the candidates we believe are capable of lifting our country from hardships – there’s only one thing people are consistently shouting for – CHANGE.
One of the votes we need to take into consideration and put our mind into in the upcoming elections is choosing the partylist which will represent a certain sector of our country – a partylist which will stand by its principles in serving people and upholding the interest of the sector they are representing. My default vote goes to AVE this upcoming elections.
However, there are hundreds more to choose from, a certain percentage is needed for one partylist to win a seat or more in the upcoming elections. That is why we need to ponder on which partylists are not that popular, but of relevant interest – which represents the many and needs our vote.
This day is very special. Today is May 1, Labor Day. It may not be very obvious but there are a lot of people who wants one of the top presidentiables Noynoy Cojuangco Aquino to answer questions regarding the Hacienda Luisita controversy – especially because his family gets a tiger share in the hacienda.
He is part of the Cojuangco Family, at the same time he is running for the presidency and the election day is coming up in a few day’s time – there is a need for people to be assured that this won’t happen again; that Noynoy be cleared of this issue. This is one of the many tests he has to combat as his family has owned the hacienda for around fifty or so years already.
I am an avid viewer of news programs. Due to the hectic class schedule that I have this summer, I only get the chance to watch news programs like Bandila and 24 which airs right after the primetime block. Recently, I and my dormitory buddies here in Molave are checking this Bandila Hot Seat portion of the program.
The Bandila Hot Seat portion works as follows: they invite their viewers to chip in questions through Facebook and Twitter live. They ask these questions live from the candidate. A couple of days ago, Bandila started inviting the presidentiables on the hot seat.
Tonight, one of the top bets to win the President seat this coming elections will be put in the Hot Seat beside news anchors Ces Drilon and Henry Omaga-Diaz. Checking the Bandila Facebook Fanpage right now, there are already lots of questions regarding the recent controversies that Manny Villar is facing – some maybe part of election propaganda and some rose when he formally expressed his intention to run for presidency. And being the political animal that I am, it would be interesting to note how the trend of questions will be and how the questions will be chosen from a pool of Noynoy loyalists and Manny Villar supporters in Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites. This is also my first time to ask questions at the Facebook Fanpage as well as make a coverage of this Bandila Hot Seat portion of the news program.
One of the recent issues surrounding the upcoming elections is Manny Villar’s alleged lie regarding his family’s socio-economic status when he was young. I was actually browsing hours ago regarding elections and found GMANews.TV reports Manny Villar as middle class. His breadwinner story has inspired a lot of people but for the past few weeks, his critics used poverty against him. If you would ask me, it is not only the gross income that determines the financial status. There are a lot of factors to determine so. How can one consider anyone not poor when regardless the fact that they do own these businesses and that they went to this hospital for check-up, these families, including Villar’s still face challenges just to survive from the struggles in life.
There are 18 more days to go before the elections. I finally got the chance to register myself as an official voter of the Philippines just months ago. A lot has happened through the course of those months – the emergence of the presidentiables and their partymates. Each milestone of the upcoming elections has been covered by the media. That is why they play a significant role in influencing voters’ opinions.
In the 18 years of my life here on earth, I have never seen an election season as hyped as this one. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of people really want their clamor for change be granted, probably because the upcoming 2010 Philippine elections will be crucial to the progress of the country in all sectors of the nation – whether it is political, economical, cultural etc.
Nowadays, 90% of the news is election-related, 5% is showbiz news and 5% others. This might be an exaggeration, but the point is that the upcoming elections are clearly getting most of the attention of the public compared to past elections. This is actually a good thing. Social media and sophisticated technologies help speed up information dissemination and make it easier for people to translate their messages – one can find information on the Internet even if they weren’t able to watch the news on TV.
