Election news

Tinio Won!

the firecrackers going off in the middle of the night resulted in George, the killer watchdog, cowering under our bed for an hour...

also NoyNoy won, as expected...people power III?

but Makati's Binay as VP, not Roxas. (the VP doesn't have to be from the same party).

Erap came in second...
Villar came in third...his "poor boy can represent the poor" campaign was marred by links to Gloria and the fact that Erap, whose credentials for being one of the people, took a lot of the poor's votes away from Villar, a businessman who was expected to win before the campaign started.

not all votes in yet...Abscbn link here is updated constantly.

the US news is noting the "violence" but by Philippine standards, it was low...and no "helloGarci" type scandals expected, despite polling machine glitches.
