Straight from the Heart

Peaceful and Clean National Polls is the only hope for the smooth transition of power

In the international scene of politics recently Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan-Darfur election have conducted their national polls very successful manned by an Independents Election Commission organized by the UN and the International Community. At the start of the organizing phases and campaign sorties these nations suffered of the tremendous casualties due to internal conflicts and civil strife. The occurrence of political violence’s are surmountable bloodies resulted of heavy tolls of death in the streets capital of these countries. But, despite of the reign of internal strife at the time of Election Day voters parading and line-up to the polling places and cast their votes enjoy their privilege rights under their Rights of Suffrage. By observing from the distance in the aftermath of post-election period of this trouble nations they are in transition for the smooth transfer power road for peaceful and stable states. From the point of view looking at their new political development of this trouble regions they are going to have a positive outlook and have quite political changes in the ground. Fresh mandate of new leaders is really the infinite solution to peaceful community of nations, if is really seriously done of the people and by the people for the people.

 COMELEC and Smartmatic Co. must address the short-coming on the CS Cards glitches by adopting affront technical measures for the reconfiguration of the memory cards of the PCOS Machines.

Technical support persons of the Commission and Smartmatic Co. must now in the area of their respective coverage’s all over the regions, provinces and municipalities assignment. An advance parties from the Commission should now task to the area of assignments.

Peaceful and smooth transition of power will rely to COMELEC on how to handle the election proceeding of this coming May 10 National polls. My only fears on the electoral process, if the schemes of “Hello Garci” experienced are repeating by the Commission. But, if they really fair enough to assure us and sustain the credibility of Commission, I don’t see any reasons we encounter political crisis and still in doubtful scenario to have a failure of election. I don’t think so, this will happen under this Commission. Pagbutihan mo Chairman Melo kayo ang referee sa mga mag-uumpugan higanteng politico ng republika natin.

With the strong endorsement of INC to LP bet Presidential candidate Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino-III I am fully confident the next president will be for the first time a bachelor in the next six years term. Kailan kaya mag-pakasal si Noynoy kay Konsehala Shalani dapat imbitado ang iyong abang lingkod. Hindi biro lang Noy….
