2010 Election

“Congratulations! Your vote has been registered”, Finally I'd seen it appeared in PCOS Machine.

Yehey, sa wakas! I exclaimed as I feel very much relieved from about an hour of waiting in line, from grappling to people who will vote too and from thousands of sweatglands tracing every line under my shirt. 

Together with my two sisters, we went to our precint at the second level of Gen. T. De Leon Elementary School in Valenzuela. While Mama and Papa is on the other building of the school. We've seen some neighbors and friends. And so we grab the opportunity to use connections until we saw Kuya Sonny, our papa's bestfriend. We made our way through 'singit'.  LOL...and the rest was story!

This was ever, the first national computerized election in the history of the Philippines. Although, there were cases of PCOS machine failures, there would be no postponement of elections since most technical issues were resolved already. People have talked about this computerization/voting scheme.  Some were so negative about using it in election because they think that there are many no read no write Filipinos who will still vote.While some were just so open that they wanted to try how does it would looked like and how it works.  Could it be so helpful to generate, cast votes and to see the result within the most possible earlier time of the week? Would be so many problem will arise during the election date itself? If so, would be the smartmatic technical engineers could accomodate all concerns by every precint? Some questions that we would like to know someone could answer us back....

Unlike others who went out there much earlier than we did, we were so lucky to finish as early as 10:15AM.

I think, less than an hour we have voted already. But unfortunately, Mom and Dad should go through alot of patience for waiting about 6 hrs. That was so pathetic and very annoying!

Let us see who will win to rule the country for the next 6yrs!!

Have a peaceful voting!!
