Around two weeks ago, i wrote about the heroism and the dedication that our teachers bring each and every time election season comes.

Various reports of cases of cheating in the recently concluded Philippine Midterm Elections. This report was aired on May 28, 2007 courtesy of Bandila, the late night news program of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs.
