Winners of the 2010 Automated Elections

With the polling stations at the verge of closing and the early results of the first transmissions of this first automated elections in the Philippines, the winners are already clear. In spite of or despite whoever is proclaimed President (and other positions) at the end of these elections, these are the true winners of the 2010 electoral process :

• TEACHERS. To all the teachers who heeded the call of duty once again and remained calm, level-headed and patient despite bearing the torturous heat, not just of the weather but of also the tempers of voters, this is your victory.
• The PPCRV volunteers and other election watchdog volunteers for keeping people in check and helped keep the elections as peaceful and pleasant as possible, this is for you too.
• To journalists most specially social media journalists and bloggers who monitored and kept track of what is going on all over the Philippines: yehey! You did it!!!
• To every single voter who got their finger dirty (as well as those who tried but could not because of missing names, etc.) this is our victory!
