THE news is confined on the raging pandemic and the vacillating stand of Duterte on the West Philippine Sea issue? Baka nakalimutan ninyo mga kababayan the 2022 the election fever are months away. It will be in October this year, repeat, this year when election period will commence. That’s when candidates as required by law will troop to the offices of the Commission on Elections to file their certificates of candidacy. The rules on the forthcoming elections may be different in 2022. It will surely be something which our country never experienced before.
The poll body is now studying if there will be a multiple days of voters going to the voting instead of the prescribed one day eight hours of voting. That’s understandable because the IATF people whom Duterte placed in charge failed miserably in containing the veerus compared to the way some neighboring countries handled their own. Political rallies maybe prohibited. House to house campaigning maybe limited. Unlike when the whole slate, including campaigners are in tow. Candidates embracing old women and kissing babies will be a no no.
