INC’s Bloc Voting: Criticized but to be copied

Selboy — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:58:53 +0000

Most of the people who are criticizing the blog voting of the Iglesia ni Cristo are Catholics. Now, I wonder what will be their reactions to the plans of the authorities of the Roman Catholic Church here in the Philippines to vote in bloc on the 2010 Presidential Election.

The purpose of resorting to bloc voting by the Roman Church is to support only those candidates who are pro-family and pro-life.

The Catholic Church might resort to bloc voting in next year’s elections to ensure that only candidates who are pro-family and pro-life will be elected into office. (MB)

It seems that the authorities of the Roman Church have realized already the advantage of bloc voting during election. But I don’t know if the Roman Church will be successful to this because, unlike the Iglesia ni Cristo, unity in judgment including bloc voting is not their official doctrine.

Even Mr. Velarde, the leader of the Roman Catholic Charismatic movement here in the Philippines, who is already endorsing candidates to its members failed to move his group to vote in bloc.

Watch the video here.

Part of the interview:

Weaver: When I interviewed Vice President Joe Biden, he became my homeboy. Would you like to become my homeboy?

Obama: Absolutely, thank you man. Great job.

Willie Revillame in Senate?

Senator Manny Villar who is the current president of the NP (Nacionalista Party) told reporters on Friday that a senatorial seat at his party is reserved for Willie Revillame if he will decide to run for senator for the 2010 election.

And I think, the Senator and Willie Revillame had talked about it already.

I remember the time when Willie Revillame formally announced at the Wowowee show the change of name that people should call him. From “Puppy” to “Will”. And when asked why, he simply answered that he’s not a dog and that the real reason would be known in the future.

Well. I think, the future that Willie Revillame is talking about is this time already. The very reason why he’s changing name from “Puppy” to “Will” is just one of his preparation for his candidacy.

If Willie Revillame will run for the senate, will he win this election?

We already know that Willie Revillame is currently dragged down by his remark made during the transport of the former president’s body to the Manila Cathedral. In fact, the online petition to ban him from TV which was initiated by Mr. Saguisag had collected almost 50,000 signatures already.

Anyway, a 50,000 people who is against Willie Revillame is still small compared to millions of people who idolized him. Actually, there are few of these people who marched and shouting for the return of Willie Revillame in the Wowowee because for them Willie Revillame is their only hope.
