The Commission on Elections (Comelec), time and time again, has proven its sheer incompetence in conducting elections.
Even as it had all that time to prepare for elections, which is what the poll body is mandated to do under the Charter, it is always caught unprepared, with too many delays and even make that stupid mistake everytime of either making a wrong delivery of the election documents, or not have any election documents delivered at all to certain precincts. But it is quick to lay the blame of its officials’ incompetence elsewhere.
One would think that after so many elections, coming every three years, plus barangay and an SK polls in between, the Comelec would at least have earned the experience needed in the conduct of elections, whether presidential, senatorial and local and barangay elections. But no, every single election period, there are always snafus that moreover could have been avoided if those officials running the poll body had a bit of competence in them.
To this day, the Comelec can hardly claim it has conducted clean and honest elections, no matter what propaganda it churns out after every election..... MORE
