This has been thus far the most exciting election to watch, owing mainly to the explosion of information on tv and on the Internet, and the very engaging interactions among bloggers, tweeters, FBers, plurkers, tumblrs and what-have-you online. Candidates have websites, blogs, accounts on most social networking sites and it can only be beneficial for voters like us. We have access to information that we need in making intelligent choices for the coming May 2010 elections. Reading and watching about the candidates online or on tv has been very addicting I’ve caught myself many times (as a freelancer, I am my own boss) goofing during work time. Anyway, for those who are also keeping close track of events, here are some links.

The fora Face to Face with the LGU champs and the Harapan 2010 are especially informative about the presidential candidates’ platform. In the Face to Face forum, there are more and very relevant questions from the LGU executives and more information and impressions can be gleaned from the candidates’ answers. These videos are definitely a must-see for those seeking to learn more about the candidates’ personalities, plans and programs.
Gibo Teodoro is a revelation in both the forum with the LGU champions and in the ANC Face to Face. He showed a good grasp of issues and knew what he was talking about. He had specifics whereas Noynoy, despite all the hype, didn’t do as well.
