That’s the claim of former senator Loren Legarda. “There were many objections. Many ballots have been put aside because it appears only one person did the voting,” Legarda told radio station dyLA yesterday.

The Philippine President Joins Blogosphere parody site hosted in WordPress.com is among the free blog service’s most visited sites (see screenshots below). The blog was seventh in the WordPress.com hot blogs listing. It’s also listed as the hosted service’s fastest growing blog.
With the number of blogs discussing Philippine politics, how does one monitor postings without getting tied up in blog-hopping for hours? With an RSS reader, of course. I recommend Google Reader even if it suffers short (less than a minute) downtimes once every few days. Bloglines, the reader I used before I transferred to Google Reader, is also a good online RSS reader. I still use Bloglines as backup, though. You can share feeds between different RSS readers by exporting and importing your subscriptions.
If you already have an account, add the feeds listed below. In Google Reader, I label them as pinoypolitics. This isn’t an exhaustive list, if you spot feeds that should be listed here, just leave the address in the comments section.
