CALLING ON COMELEC


Today, the Concerned Citizens' Movement, a moral force group, had three speakers, Jun Lozada, Grace Llamanzares, daughter of FPJ, among others who spoke about the most likely scenario that the automated elections will only get fouled up in the long run. They also said that after voting, the voters will not have any hard copy of whom they had voted for, leading to the mercy of the counters. There were many other technological glitzes that could happen they said, and so two of the suggestions on the floor were:

1. Challenge the Comelec in public, a debate with the presence of the media; and

2. Signature campaign for the people to state that Comelec should just revert to manual counting.

On December 9, the Liga ng Filipina will hold a symposium on "Martial Law, etc. What next?" to be held from 12 to 3 pm at the Quezon City Sports Club. Everyone is invited to attend, for free.

Time is running short; only five months to go till May 2010. Are we prepared for all kinds of eventualities?
