RUN 2K16
-ryandgreat
the official race to malacanan started as early as last year!
the starting line, was the filing of candidacy at the main office of comelec in intramuros, manila
and then, the actual race was the start of campaign season
and the finish line, op cors! was the official canvassing and results of votes!
and now that results are in and the run has been completed,
allow me to take you running backwards, to the race of 2016 national elections!
i only highlight those that i've personally witnessed and covered

| 2016 National Election Theme |
 |
| October 15, 2015 | at the COMELEC main office in Intramuros, Manila |
 |
| TV5 2016 Election Coverage |
 |
| May 19, 2016 | at the COMELEC hub, PICC |
i was in-charged for the daily news content requirements for tv5, aksyontv and bloombergtv philippines from 11th to 15th October
maricel halili summarized all the news stories and presented it live for aksyon newscasts with news anchor erwin tulfo
on it's first day, on 12th october, there were total 19 presidential aspirants! who went to file their candidacy,
the only prominent on that list was the vp jojo binay that showed up early with his running mate senator gringo honasan
strangely enough, that in this entire process, there were overflowing of personalities that add more color and spice!
a mix of the unknown and the well-known!
it's no secret that it's way too difficult to mount a nationwide campaign!
but no joke! there were those unknown that seriously would like to pursue their aspirations to become the next philippine president!
there were proportional numbers of those "habitual filers" that came to comelec to bid for that highest position in the government
in layman's term, we call them the nuisance candidates!
do you remember eddie gil? he was once a presidential candidate on 2004 national elections
for this election year, i can only remember manuel roxas, ooooooops! not the dilg secretary and mr. korina sanchez
he's the namesake of presidential candidate mar roxas!
he's manuel antonio roxas, but he has withdrawn his candidacy days later! seyeng nemen!!!
on the other hand, throughout the week a number of celebrities came to comelec!
only to support their family members! angel locsin in support of his relative that runs for senator, congressman nerrie colminares
tanya garcia in full support for his husband mark lapid for filling his candidacy for senate, accompanied too by his father, senator lito lapid
susan roces accompanied her daughter grace poe while chiz escudero with his lovely escort, his wife, heart evangelista
tito sotto and alma moreno who were both running for senate, were also accompanied by their celebrity family members,
helen gamboa for tito sen and valdolph, wynwyn marquez for lovely ness!
the star for all season, i love her! ate vi!!! was in full support for his husband senator ralph recto
as well as the nega star, the ex-tv5 talent, tita shawie!!! was in full support for her husband kiko pangilinan

according to comelec, at least 80 percent of the total registered voters has cast their votes!
there were also controversies during the election week!
and the comelec had consistently denied any election fraud
although smartmatic representatives came to defend a "minor change" on the hashcode script, during the canvassing of the votes
that puts doubt on the credibility of the turn-out of the election
senator bongbong marcos and mmda chairman francis tolentino,
has already expressed their plans to file protests! for the vp and senatorial count respectively!
after all was said and done, our new leaders will be proclaimed next month!

the entire election process has leveled-up! and the it has advanced, in terms of technology!
although there are some aspect that needs improvement
and every comments from all sides, seems to matter! i've never seen or heard so much public engagement!
most especially on-line! that there were even heated discourse among netizens!
after all, that's how democracy works!
