    2010 census listed Dumaguete at a shade over 120,000, so 2/3's is a pretty good voter turnout if all registered votes show up at the polls to collect their money!

    One place I know they are collecting the Bio data for voting is at Robinson's mall. My partner did hers there couple of weeks ago and it was pretty simple and straight forward. It took her about 30-45 minutes to complete and she got a receipt that she was registered. You can check Robinson's Mall for dates and times for collection of Bio data.

    If you wish to understand Philippine politics read this article. It is made up of extracts from " Pearl of the Orient Seas " written by columnist Clarence Henderson. Although it was written in 2000, you will see that nothing has, or is likely to change. Corruption and cronyism is part of the culture and the semblance of democracy is as thin as a film of oil on an Ocean. Please read the whole article and all the links and you will have a true insight into the philippine psyche.

    So it works in cycles in the Philippines and they are getting ready to head back in to the "Dark Ages"?

    No worries, I have not lost my sense of humor. If I had this place would have driven me crazy long ago!
