I hear the same news during election period.Election violence,vote buying and late arrival of election paraphernalia is not new to me.A Surigao councilor was shot dead yesterday.Regions 1, 2, 5, 6 and 10, and the Cordillera Autonomous Region may hold election tomorrow.I witnessed a person opened a small envelop with a bill and sample ballot.Some people told me to be sneaky yesterday because I might get something from the running candidates.Sorry but they can't buy my vote.
COMELEC assured the public that everything is ready for Barangay and SK election 2010.However, in some areas in the Philippines such as Caloocan and Albay the election has been delayed too and the president is discontented with the delays.
It's good to know that PNP and AFP secure peaceful election this year but unexpected and uncontrollable occurrences happen.Voting was suspended in particular municipalities of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur.Tomorrow there would be no classes to give time for teachers to rest.
Barangay is the basic political unit in the Philippines.It is led by a barangay captain and his council with seven members.Each barangay has Sangguniang Kabataan or SK Chairperson with seven SK councilors.I used to be part of SK from 2002 to 2007.

The main duty of the barangay officials is to maintain peace and order, provide livelihood programs, keep the cleanliness and implement infrastructures.It's the SK's obligation on the other hand to encourage young people to take part in barangay activities and make them active in sports,environmental issues,moral recovery programs and drug prevention.I just voted.It was easy to find my name and precinct number.May the candidates I chose win.Hopefully, tonight results will be released and winners will be proclaimed!
