actor Robin Padilla promotes automated polls in ARMM

After the successful ARMM mock election test run, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) tapped the services of actor Robin Padilla to promote the new technology (Optical Map Reader, OMR) for the automation polls of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections set on August 11.

Robin will still continue this voter's education campaign drive for the 2010 elections. ARMM will be the Philippines' testing ground for the automation of the whole country.

Robin Padilla, a Muslin convert, is reportedly paid 2 million pesos as talent fee which the actor donated to the Liwanag ng Kapayapaan foundation to help the education of 53 less fortunate children.

Even though this is the best idea of a honest election, the President of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is thinking and proposing a postponement of election next month.

This kind of thinking is the reason why many Filipinos doesn't believed on Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo leadership and honesty.
