Filipino voters who wish to learn more about the registration process and the national candidates in the 2010 elections can check out the bagongbotante.ph blog. An upcoming feature of the blog will be the e-plaza Miranda where the COMELEC will upload data about the candidates, who in turn, may directly post articles and relevant information about themselves and their political platforms. Voters may also comment and ask questions, giving them the opportunity to reach these aspirants for elective positions wherever they may be.
Efforts to further popularize political processes and the allocation of funds for this purpose should be given our full support since making informed decisions on the part of the electorate is key to achieving meaningful change in our society. It's good that the COMELEC is tapping the power of information and communications technology to creatively address the goal of getting Filipinos to responsibly participate in the electoral process. Let's see if Filipino netizens will take advantage of this added presence of their government in the blogosphere.
