And yes it does. News has been filled with all the dirt on it. There's even one news article about a certain region in Mindanao, that had video evidence of actual manipulation of the votes.
LOL. Busted!
But amidst all these controversies, I'm really surprised the media hasn't paid too much interest in one of the more controversial candidates, even before the stretch for elections started. Manny Pacquiao.
Recently, I read a small article on him on the Manila Bulletin. Obviously, he lost to the other party. And somewhere along the lines, I read that he actually used 150-Million pesos to fund his candidacy. When asked how he felt. He answered that it was okay and that he just wanted to serve the Filipino people.
Well whether his intentions are pure or not, hell... thats 150 million pesos for the love of god!! He should have stick for councilor or something, at least he could have save more money. Guess that means, just banking on fame and popularity doesnt get you into the political arena.
Pffft. 150 million for nothing.
