PGMA signs Republic Act 9525 or the Supplemental Budget Law

Just when you think it was going to be another long drawn out election in 2010, PGMA signed the P11.3-billion supplemental budget for automation of the May 2010 polls.

"We see no more obstacles to the implementation by Comelec of a fully automated election system that will ensure honest, efficient, and credible polls next year... With the enactment of the budget into law, the President is living up to her commitment to modernize the electoral process through automation in order to safeguard the true will of the Filipino electorate." Presidential Political Adviser Gabriel Claudio said in a statement.

I am sure I share the public's sentiments when I say, its about time! The public deserves the practicality and convenience that a full automation of polls will afford them. I hope that this will be a cure to the rampant cheating that is synonymous to elections.
