Presidentiables' Platforms

I know that everybody's very excited for the first automated election here in the Philippines (including me.) But before we grant our vote to a candidate, we should study first their platforms and plans for our country if they win the election. It's our obligation to scrutinize every single detail of every candidate's plans for our country, their track records and everything about them.

Since September when I registered myself in COMELEC, I've been really looking forward on studying every candidate's platform yet I didn't give time for it. Hehe. I admit that I spend most of my time in Facebook. But now, since election day is really near, I tried looking for every candidate's official website and read for their platform.

Right now, I've started reading every candidate's platform. I urge you to do the same.

Here are the official websites of all presidential candidates:

• AQUINO, Benigno Simeon III C.
• DE LOS REYES, John Carlos G.
• ESTRADA EJERCITO, Joseph M.
• GORDON, Richard J.
• MADRIGAL, Jamby A.
• PERLAS, Jesus Nicanor P.
• TEODORO, Gilberto Jr. C.
• VILLANUEVA, Eduardo C.
• VILLAR, Manuel Jr. B.

Aside from reading every candidate's platform from their own sites, I suggest that you read some information about them in their wiki pages and other reliable sites in the Internet since all things that you can read in their officials sites are all "pleasant."

By the way..
I'm so happy since I learned that I can vote...
Haha.
Recently, I tried to search for my name in the COMELEC's Online Precinct Finder. I didn't find my name on that online database. I tried to contact the COMELEC Office here in Antipolo but the numbers provided in COMELEC's site aren't working. So we decided to go to the COMELEC Office. Then I found out that my name is on the supplemental list. Learning about that, the officers there told me to tell the teacher in the polling precinct to look for my name in the supplemental list when I vote.

I suggest everyone who really wants to be part of Election 2010 to try looking for your names in the Online Precinct Finder (though officials in COMELEC Office insist that the Online Database isn't complete.) (Note: The Online Precinct Finder does not contain information on those voters who have registered themselves last December 2009.) If you can't find your name there, I suggest that you try all means to contact the COMELEC Office in your place by sending them e-mails, calling them by phone or visiting their office personally. Also, try to visit your polling precinct before the election day (especially those who are first-time-voters.)
