An emotional Frances Smith of the California Nevada annual methodist church and my own church in califoriania diverted from her prepared speech to say:
I'm an old woman. I've voted in elections for years. I've served on election boards in my community. What i saw in Payatas was the truly inspirational power of the human spirit of the Filipino people. They eagerly lined up for the 7 am opening of the polls for what they thought, what they had been told, was a planned smooth, orderly process but which became increasingly chaotic as the day dragged on and on and on till 7 pm, and for some, they stayed in schools way after midnight to ensure that the ballots got transferred. If there'is some ever grand design for a smooth, worthy election process, I did not witness it here....
