Akala nila kasi NO-EL eh...

kaya they just kill their opponents to make up for lost time.

Let hear it from Ralph Recto:

In a phone interview, Recto said that some “unscrupulous” politicians had to resort to extreme measures to get back on the winning track.

“I believe that part of the reason for the violence is that some unscrupulous politicians were not prepared for the campaign and had to make up for the lost time because they thought there would be no elections this year,” Recto said.

Recto said it was not until the last few days of 2006 that the public was sure that elections would push through as the House of Representatives had hurriedly adopted a resolution forming a constituent assembly, without the Senate consent, and the suspension of this year’s elections. It was only after a strong public outcry that Malacañang and the House dropped the plan to avoid a crisis.

Recto said that some of the politicians could have resorted to violence because they did not have enough time to prepare for their reelection.
