PCOS Machine Problems For The Elections 2013: Pilipinas Anyare?!

Just a few hours when the election started, there has been a lot of PCOS Machine problems that have been reported through Social Media portals and news. I can’t help but doubt if the upcoming results of the elections are legitimate.

 

Aside from that, the COMELEC website has been down today and if I’m not mistaken since last night. I was not able to use the precint finders of GMA site, Halalan and COMELEC apps due to their server being down. 🙁 I have to be honest, I won’t be able to exercise my right to vote. Why? I know it will take me forever to vote, the actual voting process may be fast but the lines are not, add the fact that it’s raining here in Mandaluyong. Some precints only have one PCOS machine, and some are not even functioning very well. I can’t risk being late to work. If voting is like this, then I am sure I will be late for work. I don’t even know my precint and I just found out last night that my name is on the list of voters the fact I didn’t register for the elections, only for SK though, which was several years ago.

What happened?!

Here are some tweets I got just a few minutes ago:

"@ryantanganco: Actual voting is fast and efficient. Ang matagal talaga ang pila." True! But more PCOS machines would make the line moving.

#votewisely
//Ganto source code ng mga palpak na PCOS machine:

If vote == "candidateName"
Accept_ballot();
Else
Reject_ballot();

All we can do now is hope the truth will still prevail in this election!

And oh before I forgot, one important reminder from @YouthPinoy:

Reminder for totally cool and awesome, young voters:

– do not shade too heavily, it will cost the PCOS to reject… http://t.co/boPmxnEcxn
