WISHYWASHY COMELEC

Wishy-washy is what I would call the standards of Comelec for judging if a person is worthy of being a candidate. First, it requires money from candidates to run for national positions. However, it does not ask where the candidate has gotten the money. For example, why are some people who are part of the dark past of our history able to run without explaining why they have such oodles of money to spend? 

Is it not incumbent on the Comelec if the person running has clean money and not sourced from narcopolitics or some kleptocratic regime?

It is high time that Comelec pursue those who want to gain power again in our country despite their checkered past instead of pressuring honest and clean-hearted people to desist from running. It has become a tool for perpetuation of a system that allows the corrupt moneyed elite to continue ransacking the coffers of our country.
