For those of you who don't know how political parties and elections are in la salle let me give you a brief description of it:
It's less extreme than the politics in UP but way more intense than Ateneo's.
Rumors being created and disseminated. Case filing here and there (for electioneering or anything that might disqualify or handicap the opposing parties). Talking to people you barely know and asking them if they've voted, and if not urging them to vote. Running everywhere. Stratigizing how to get voters before the other party so they can't steal them. People getting pissed, crying, laughing, gossiping, whispering, shouting, flirting everything! I can go on.. but that's the gist of it.
I honestly find it so interesting and amusing. it's nice to observe people while they're working on this... i don't know why. It's such an experience! Many people might not care about it, but i suggest to everyone, who can participate, to be a part (and not just by voting) of at least one general or freshmen elections just to see how it goes! It's engaging! Swear!
