Four Days Before D-Day

In every village here, thousands, err, millions of posters mark every nook and cranny in the country. Its like fiesta. This fiesta, however, is one you’ll surely hate. For it involves death, destruction, gory, bloody.

Mike Enriquez said, Philippine elections is one of the most unique political phenomenon in the world. Why? Well, it needs for the AFP to call for a red alert. Today, AFP Chief Esperon called every able-bodied soldier to stand by and defend the Republic or the Filipino People should there be violence on Monday.

Fearless Forecast

The Opposition will be dumb-struck when they hear this—most TU bets will clinch the Magic 12. Yes. I am not a GMA ass-licker but I see that TU bets will mostly likely win this elections.

First, I believe in what Fel Maragay wrote in his column that historically, administration bets win in midterm elections. Analysts are right in saying that the well oiled grassroots machinery of the administration will save the day for doomed TU bets.

Second, I believe that TU’s deeply entrenched influence in COMELEC will work wonders come election time. Look at what happened to this Lady Senator who placed well below the Magic Circle pre-election period then streaked up the winning circle…eventually….after allegedly paying for the votes in Mindanao!
