Elections in Brgy. Mambugan, Antipolo, Rizal

A week after the country’s first automated elections, COMELEC has yet to proclaim a new president. But it seems evident that Noynoy and Binay are the tandem that will be leading the country for the next 6 years. Many people are not taking this lightly.

• From the Philippine Daily Inquirer, by  Nikko Dizon: Comelec asked to probe glitches, disenfranchised votes. MANILA, Philippines – Despite the fast transmission and tallying of results from the May 10 polls, election watchdog Kontra Daya (Against Cheating) said the country’s first automated elections were still “fraught with problems,” and called for an investigation into irregularities the group noticed based on its monitoring before and during Election Day.
• From GMANews.TV, by Johanna Camille L. Sisante: ‘Dear Noynoy:’ Pinoys give advice to leading presidential bet. “Dear Noynoy,” writes one Jerry Tieng. “May I suggest that we quadruple government salaries to make it competitive with the private sector? Starting salary should be P20,000 or higher to be competitive, and terminate the bottom 10 percent of under-performing employees on a yearly basis–while re-engineering processes and increasing automation/self-service facilities,” Tieng says.
