to appeal US nurse ban

extortionists

for the coming May polls.

The
Filipino electorate needs to be educated on
the economics of an expensive election.
By
expecting his votes to be bought, the electorate
increases Mr.
|
Politician's
cost of getting elected -which if he is not a super-millionaire-will
spend his next term of office not just to recoup the
expenses, but mind you, to prepare his new arsenal of
funds for the next election.
