What blunt fury could excite a man's wiles...
When he thrust up his fists on air for miles...
When he refuses to stampede-ground on agonizing pains...
And traverses not to unlock himself from the bondage of vains?"

What nomadic heart best describes a man's constitution...
When his vices, whims and caprices succumb not to restitution...
When his basic intentions defy lucid explanations...
And obstinates irrationality only rests onto his blind suppositions?

What blatant impetus could a man suffers in perpetuity...
When by greed he opportunely grabs all the grandeurs in sagasity...
When he illicitly seizes his love passions with shrewdest dexterity...
And incessantly advances his insatiable mundane conquests through vague eternity?

     Just like Christmas, the 2004 May Election is fast-approaching, bringing feelings of excitement and fear to many Filipino citizens. But unlike Christmas, the upcoming May Election spells a lot MORE preparation and cooperation from the people, political parties, and also, the COMELEC (Commission on Election) in order to come up with an ideal, smooth-sailing election process.

     The May election is an important event that the people look forward to, because it serves as a chance for them to select their own candidates as the future leaders of the country. Candidates who may set and execute priorities that may be for the advancement of the country's situation, or if not, their own personal interests.

     And because of the financial benefits and political clout accompanied in high government positions such as Vice-President and President, it is possible that supporters of a candidate might exhaust all the means (sometimes illegal) only for their mate to hag majority of the public's votes. Issues such as this and a lot more arise time and again every nearing election. Hence, it is an imperative for the voting public, especially the youth to be aware of the preparations of the Commission on Elections in solving election anomalies.

     COMELEC Preparations."With great power, comes
     great responsibility"

      On the part of the COMELEC, the government agency which is in charge of election-related matters like the registration and counting of ballots, it currently does necessary preparations for ensuring an accurate, efficient and secure electoral process. The means to attain such goals are addressed to their move to computerize the system of elections.
