COMELEC's Criteria For Choosing Presidentiables (For Dummies)

As we all know, it's been day 2 since our Green Presidentiable, Nicanor Perlas, was excluded from the COMELEC's official list of presidentiables. To add insult to our injury, the COMELEC said that we don't have the funds to launch a nationwide campaign. Too absurd for a independent electoral body to comment. I later learned of their criteria that became a standard in choosing presidential candidates. Here's some of the criteria:

1) You need MILLIONS of money to launch a nationwide campaign- No matter how you get the money, either by stealing from taxpayers' money or by criminal activies like drugs, robbery, and kidnapping,it's okay. You're still in for being a candidate for president. Because in every election, MONEY TALKS !!!

2) You must be a well known figure- If you are a son of famous political family, politicians with a "galing sa mahirap" factor under his belt, an ally of a corruptible administration led by "Our Great Leader" President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, or a convicted former president, you are halfway through your victory on your way to Malacanang.

Falling short from these criterias would result in disqualification no matter how serious and strong track record and a complex and substantive platform you have.

What a great and exemplary criteria ! ! !

By this, we can elect another trapo worser than PGMA on next year's election.

"GOOD LUCK !!!"
