The Commission on Elections has recommended the disqualification of incumbent Manila Mayor Lito Atienza for violations of the Omnibus Election Code. They even issued a laundry list of his alleged vote-buying activities, with tabs from restaurant dinners for baranggay and SK councilors, leadership seminars, the works. My question is, should his tenure as mayor be declared as void, will it undo all the things he did to my city? I don't think you can bring the Jai-Alai building back, or disintegrate the SM Manila City Mall, er, Hall. And isn't this pronouncement a bit too late? If they're going to do anything about this, better do it now. Or will they wait until there are ten days left before the next elections?
