                    [Summary] => 



Having succeeded in demonizing reforms, foes of Charter change now advise the government to work instead on electoral upgrading. The pitch is deceptive. It wrongly implies that improved ways of changing the people at the top alone would salve the nation’s ills. The Filipino experience bares the reverse. While elections are keen occasions for the ruled to choose their rulers, the exercise can also be excuses to preserve oppressive systems. Why, if elections are so liberating, how come voters go on putting in office the same traditional politicos they also distrust?

                    [Summary] => Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. urged employees of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to come out and turn state witness against the poll officials involved in the MegaPacific bidding scandal.


Pimentel particularly turned his appeal to the employees of the Comelec’s bids and awards committee to turn state witness to unravel the truth behind the controversial P1.3 billion poll computerization contract.


"The minor employees may volunteer to be state witnesses and blow the whistle on the erring Comelec commissioners," Pimentel said.

                    [Title] => But electoral reforms need Charter changes
                    [Summary] => 



Having succeeded in demonizing reforms, foes of Charter change now advise the government to work instead on electoral upgrading. The pitch is deceptive. It wrongly implies that improved ways of changing the people at the top alone would salve the nation’s ills. The Filipino experience bares the reverse. While elections are keen occasions for the ruled to choose their rulers, the exercise can also be excuses to preserve oppressive systems. Why, if elections are so liberating, how come voters go on putting in office the same traditional politicos they also distrust?

Pimentel particularly turned his appeal to the employees of the Comelec’s bids and awards committee to turn state witness to unravel the truth behind the controversial P1.3 billion poll computerization contract.


"The minor employees may volunteer to be state witnesses and blow the whistle on the erring Comelec commissioners," Pimentel said.
