Hello there,
This is not any new stuff anymore - and there’s no use for you guys to have any elections - In all the world, Philippines has the dirtiest political and nastiest elections. Undang na ana oi - it all boils down to “whos’ turn it is for the next 4 years or so”. There’s more to life than the Philippine politics. It grossed me up!!!!
