Tragically, this is standard operating procedures for politics in the Philliphines.

LOL well if he gets elected at least they know what to expect ..... seems like most leaders regardless of how honest they are only get really corrupt once they have ultimate power .... this guy is at least WYSIWYG :)

agreed, if they want whom ever, they will vote who they want, no bodies business in another country to dictate who to choose... get the right one in our own countries 1st.

sadly, it's not a matter of whom they want, they're bought. I totally agree with you, it's nobody's business how they vote in another country. so long as they're minding their own and not begging for money from another country so that they can pocket it. just take a look at the current president of the same country. went to the white house to beg for some money then treat all her party in an expensive restaurant after that. i'm sure some of you might have heard it. not only that, her son, after seeing president obama reaching out with people by eating at a hamburger joint, he calls him no class. for me it's not a matter of class. to me, president obama is just trying to show them that he understands. politics is a dirty business and i'm gonna stop right here. i apologize for the trouble.
