Richard Gomez is really determined to run for Congress in the 4th District of Leyte even if initially banned by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to run in the forthcoming elections on May 10, 2010 due to lack of residence in Ormoc City.
He is telling supporters that he has already filed a motion for reconsideration with the agency and he is willing to fight unto the end or up to the Supreme Court if denied by the Comelec en banc. We'll that's the spirit. If he thinks he has all the right to be heard then so be it. It is better than doing nothing at all.

Through name recall, Richard now has a big advantage against his opponent if the election is held now. He has visited Palompon and other towns of the 4th District of Leyte for several times already. And has been meeting with people that will help him through the rigorous campaign period and maybe giving away campaign funds needed to make sure that targeted constituents will be loyal to him during election day.
In the much publicized automation of the 2010 elections, I do believe many voters are still unaware of the coming elections new method of voting. The trust of the Comelec's information drive should be the countryside, where voters are unaware about the forthcoming automated elections.
Fortunately, those who have televisions in their homes are fortunate enough to know the mechanics or what to do in the forthcoming elections due to bombardment by the Sex Bombdancers of Eat Bulaga, Channel 7 the "May Bilog na Hugis Itlog" voters education program where viewers are being treated by the hour on the hour on the new method or mode on how people should vote in this first ever automated elections in the Philippines.
What I learned from the daily information drive being initiated by TV Station Channel 7's morning program is that after the signing of the Chairman, Board of Election Inspector (BEI) on the space provided in the official ballot, the voter with his ballot and the pen provided, has to go to his designated place and there blacken the space provided for the candidate he do like.
The vote should be according to the number of votes required i.e. one (1) vote for president, one (1) vote for vice president, twelve senators, one (1) congressman, and so on..........
Note: 1) Any over voting will not be read or voided, but under voting will be read and not voided by the machine.
2) Incomplete blackening of the area to be shaded will render the whole ballot invalid because the machine will not read it. Better not to write anything on the oval to be shaded if you are not sure about the candidate.
3) If there is an incomplete shading and the machine spit out the ballot, you will be given another chance to correct the mistake or shade the oval correctly, after which no more chance will be given to any voter to repeat the process.
4) There are no extra ballots printed, so please take care that you will not commit any mistake while voting. "One voter, one ballot policy".
