It's good to know that many Filipinos are wary of widespread vote buying in the midterm elections. The problem has been a persistent concern in Philippine electoral exercises.
A non-commissioned survey conducted from Feb. 22 to 28 by the OCTA Research Group showed 66 percent of the 1,200 respondents believing that vote buying will be prevalent in the May elections. The high expectation cut across geographic and socioeconomic classes.
Asked about the impact of vote buying, 68 percent of the respondents said it would negatively affect the election results.
