As reported in this newspaper last Friday, the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research has predicted that this year’s elections will be the most violent yet with, including the victims of the Maguindanao massacre, 90 dead already. But even this seems to be an under-estimate. It depends when you start counting. Last October, the police announced that 75 local office-holders had already died in the first nine months of 2009. There were a further 16 election-related deaths between Jan. 10 and March 6 this year. So add the 57 Maguindanao victims and you have a partial total of 148.
