Top ten reasons why I think we just had a good selection. What do you think?

Top ten reasons why I think we just had a 鈥済ood鈥?election.



10.Alan Peter Cayetano still belongs in the magic 12 trending, in spite of Joselito Cayetano.



It only goes to show that many Filipinos watch the news and are aware of the issues and as such, are incensed at the dirty tactics of other politicians.



9.Trillanes鈥?name is popping up in the magic 12 trend, in spite being unable to launch a full campaign and be physically present in those he was able to launch.



This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. It shows that many voters are already drawn to the issues that the candidates represent and not on the beauty of their posters or the number of posters pasted on walls, constantly nagging us.



Either this or the Filipinos just merely love underdogs. Which goes to explain why Rainier Castillo and Sandara Park of different talent searches top their text polls; but that鈥檚 another story.



8. Goma is not winning.



This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. Period.



7. Buboy is not winning.



This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. And it proves that letting your child sing in your commercial may be cute in your family reunions but don鈥檛 expect that it would get you votes in national elections. And it also proves that playing Jose Rizal in the movies will not make people associate the person with the Character, and think of him as a hero. Furthermore it also proves that playing Chavit Singson in the movies will not make people associate him again with the character and make him a hero. Which is much more difficult, unless your definition of hero is Chavit.
