Criticizing a Senate bill that partially would automate the 2007 elections, he sneered that electronic counters will not keep the voting clean for a change; it’s only people who will. The bishop officially spoke for his colleagues, so presumably they agree with him. The most vocal of them in fact habitually belittle efforts to improve any system, moralizing instead that only change in individuals can make things better.

Borjal [Summary] => There are signs certain senatorial candidates of the People Power Coalition, who are at present outside the winning circle, are surging nearer to No. 13. They include Wigberto "Bobby" Tañada, Ernesto "Boy" Herrera, and Solita "Winnie" Monsod. One recent survey even showed that Herrera was already within the Magic 13, because of the labor vote and the heavy Cebuano vote. On the other hand, the solid vote that Tañada is expected to muster from the Southern Tagalog region could push him eventually into the winner’s circle.
