SITUATIONER

Would be candidates for the forthcoming barangay elections are preparing. Not only on people they are to connect but most is the money for the event which is the most important, they say. Some are linking with people who have the means to finance what they vie for making representations for loans, payable after their hoped victories. And if defeated, still the payment is expected. Moneyed candidates are not that worried though, they have the advantage. And some worry, for it is known, money sometimes fail. This cannot be all the times a means to win in an election like what is coming. You may have all the money in the world yet you could lose, when most of the voters just accept the money and still vote for the other guy, not you. IN Bgy. San Pedro there are 4 candidates for the chairmanship, people say. In Tubigan only one, Senalac only the incumbent, Jampason five of them, Calacapan two, Andales two, Gimangpang "wa pay klaro", Tawantawan two, Kanitoan two, Aluna three, Pagahan two and Pontacon two. This will yet change when filing of certificates of candidacies are filed with the COMELEC come October.
