Philippine Election 2010 Official Candidates

Hello everyone! Welcome to the PetikSphere. As you can see, this is my first post. And since election day is coming (May 10, 2010), this list will be helpful for those who don’t know who the candidates for national positions are. This list is from the COMELEC website (http://www.comelec.gov.ph/2010%20National_Local/certified_list_of_candidates_2010_toc.html). Just click on their names to check out their official website or Facebook page or Wikipedia page (if they have some).

I hope somebody gets to read this before the election. Please vote wisely. Please study the platforms of the candidates before voting them. Don’t let anyone decide for you. Don’t let anyone buy your vote. Our country needs serious leaders to solve our serious problems. Petiks is good as long as it’s not affecting other people badly and these government positions should not be occupied by politicians sitting back and relaxing while many Filipinos suffer.
Happy voting and good luck to us all!
