Its election time again, and for sure kanya kanya na naman gimik ang mga mahal natin politician at samutsaring pangako ang ilalabas.

Maybe it's a good idea kung magkakaroon ng special dedicated forum for 2007 Philippine eleciton dito sa tsikot forums, for sure mapupuno ang pitstop ng election related discussions and debates, might as well make a special category just for this election season. What do you think guys?

... well hindi naman siguro dapat makipagaway. maganda rin iyung may kanya-kanya tayong opinyon.

like me, nandito ako sa gitnang silangan. mas makabubuti kung makarinig ako ng mga opinyon. dahil doon lang ako babase sa kung sino ang dapat kong iboto.

here is a quote from Pulse Asia Survey

Most of the top 12 senatorial bets belong to the political opposition.

With the dismissal by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the petition for a People’s Initiative to amend the constitution and the likelihood of charter change before next year diminished, the 2007 elections is becoming an even more crucial political exercise.

Twenty personalities, led by former Senator Loren Legarda, have a statistical chance of winning if the May 2007 senatorial elections were held today. Most of these individuals are affiliated with the political opposition, although given the fluidity of the country’s situation, the political affiliation of these individuals may still change between today and May 2007. Currently, the following individuals end up within the winning circle of 12 senators: (1) former Senator Legarda (48.6%); (2) Senator Francis N. Pangilinan (39.0%); (3) Senator Panfilo M. Lacson (34.9%); (4) Senator Manuel B. Villar, Jr. (34.2%); (5) Senator Ralph G. Recto (33.1%); (6) former Senator Vicente C. Sotto III (31.0%); (7) Atty. Aquilino Pimentel III (29.9%); (8) Taguig-Pateros Representative Alan Peter S. Cayetano (29.5%); (9) former Senator Greogorio B. Honasan (27.7%); (10) San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito-Estrada (23.8%); (11) Ilocos Norte Representative Imee R. Marcos (23.1%); and (12) former Senator John Henry Osmeña (22.7%).

Given the survey’s margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points, the following probable senatorial candidates also have a statistical chance of winning: (1) Tarlac Representative Benigno C. Aquino III (21.8%); (2) Senator Luisa P. Estrada (21.7%); (3) Senator Joker P. Arroyo (21.0%); (4) Senator Edgardo J. Angara (20.9%); (5) House Minority Floor Leader Francis G. Escudero (20.2%); (6) former Senator Francisco S. Tatad (18.9%); (7) Presidential Chief of Staff Michael T. Defensor (18.7%); and (8) Muntinlupa Representative Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon (18.5%).

With less than a year to go before the May 2007 senatorial elections, Filipinos are now identifying, on average, eight (out of a maximum of 12) of their bets to the Philippine Senate. About 10% of Filipinos are either still undecided as regards their senatorial bets or refuse to name their candidates to the Senate.

yup, natural lang magkaroon ng debate, basta friendly debate lang at walang personalan.

Internet will play a major role ngayong 2007 election, smart voters will surely use the internet to research and look for any info/feedback for a certain candidate.

Tsikot, made its share sa public in helping them sa kanilang decision making (buying cars, shop reviews, fuel saving device etc), this time, ngayong election, lets use tsikot.com para matulungan ang public magdesisyon kung sino ang iboboto nila.

Tsikot.com is receiving 300,000 unique Visits every month, sa dami ng visitors ng tsikot. im pretty sure that we can make a difference kahit papano

IMO, ok lang na magkaroon ng discussion sa tsikot. guideline din naman sa atin ito to pick the right candidate na iboboto natin. basta walang away at respect lang sa opinion ng iba...:peace: :peace:
