What the heck are those people thinking?
RE: What the heck are those people thinking?
Same thing those who voted for Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua were thinking.
You gotta remember, Imelda represents her Congressional district ( her hometown ), Leyte. Even if she is unpopular in the rest of the country, and the case against her is still going on, and she is 80 years old, her home district ALWAYS votes for her.
Same thing applies to her daughter, who ran as governor in her father’s home province of Ilocos, where Marcos is considered the native so.
Hey, it’s the same here in the USA. People like Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi have their seats for LIFE. I’m willing to bet that Rangel ( even with his tax problems ) will win his seat in the next election. Heck, even if Pelosi were seen to be murdering someone in broad daylight, she’s still win her seat.
Probably the same things Obama voters are thinking, or rather not thinking.
The vast majority of the people in the Philippines don't think about politics as who is in power is totally irrelevant to their daily lives. Their votes mean nothing and will change nothing in the country.
In this case many received a few kilos of rice to secure their vote.

I know next to nothing about politics here, but Aquino is popular.
Most everyone I know voted for him.
He won with over 14 million votes.
The second place had under 10 million.
At least it is not as bad as in the USA, where the idiots choose Marxism.
