PINILIAY, LINIMPIYOHAY SA KONSYENSIYA???
Less than a month from now,
the sovereign will of the electorates will be tested. When finally all these
rants and raves of demagogues die down, when we reach the level of sobriety to
plant the seed of hope once more, can we truly tell the world that by participating
in the elections we serve the ends of democracy? Do we need PCOS machines to
proclaim the choice of our conscience?
Each one of us may have
varying views leading to the preparation of the much-awaited elections. It may well be self-fulfilling to console
our restless souls if we confront certain queries head-on.
Have we satisfied our curiosity on the technological advancement brought about by PCOS machines? Have we forgotten the issues raised by skeptics who
conveniently paint a doomsday scenario short of saying that democracy will
never be the same again if we allow the PCOS machines to determine the outcome
of elections with all its perceived defects? And have we ever given much
thought about the fact that apart from casting our future using the PCOS
machines, we must also give up the practice of treating elections and ambitious
politicians as our best sources for making money?
Given the limited period of
time, the door is still open for soul-searching!!!
