Imagine yourself attending the burial of the departed President Cory Aquino. That's the kind of chaos I'd experienced when I registered to vote today in Talisay City Hall.

Talisay City COMELEC runs a very inorderly system for the process of the registration of votes. There were no priority numbers, no proper lines and baffling set up and delegation of tasks from the distribution of forms to the verification, precinct assignment and photo capturing. Everything were just too unorganized. Not to mention the arrogant disposition the officers were displaying which government employees are infamously noted for.

While I understand and knew beforehand that the last week of voters registration is extremely crowded, I forcefully believe that there is always a proper system for crowd control. And, that should have been planned prior to the last week of registration. I had visited the COMELEC office in Cebu City and the registrants were propery managed. If Cebu City was able to manage the registrants well, why can't Talisay City?

Talisay City COMELEC must come up with a systematic process of voters registration for the next elections because what I had experienced was really discouraging and it diminishes one's patience. They have to remember that they are the ones who need our votes. A lost vote is their lost.
