MY joining this 2022 political exercise is making me understand so many new things and has even convinced me even more about how rotten our political system is. But only a few candidates would dare speak about this observation, let alone write about it, especially if they are senatorial or presidential frontrunners. This is understandable because the problem starts with the agency in charge of running and managing it — the Commission on Elections (Comelec), and we know who has the final say on who is going to win, don't we?

Having said that, then why write about this mafia? Again, let me point out that I am not your typical politician who is running for office.
