Meanwhile, a novel attempt to use a 100-tonne steel-and-concrete box to cover the gushing oil well was aborted after ice crystals encased it. The setback left the mission to cap the ruptured well in doubt.— People from around the world have been giving the hair off their heads, the fur off their pets’ backs, and the tights off their legs to make booms and mats to mop up the oily mess spewing out of the sunken Deepwater Horizon oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

MANILA

Philippines yesterday as tensions flared

ahead of today’s national elections, which

are expected to see favourite Benigno Aquino

win the presidency in a landslide.

The build-up to the elections has been

typically tumultuous for one of Asia’s most

free-wheeling democracies, with dozens of

people killed, ferocious mudslinging and

dark rumours of illegal power grabs.

Five people were shot dead yesterday

in two remote parts of the country involving

gunmen loyal to local candidates, while

communist guerrillas also destroyed five vote

counting machines, the authorities said.

But the military and police, which have

deployed tens of thousands of personnel

to protect polling stations, insisted today’s

elections were expected to proceed without

major unrest.

Despite scattered violence and a rush

to fix a computer glitch, officials said the

Philippines’ first automated presidential

and local elections this week will be a successful

test of its fragile democracy.

Mr Aquino, the son of revered pro-democracy

icons, has topped pre-election surveys

in the nine-way race for the presidency.

His rise reflects the longing to fill a moral

vacuum in a country exasperated by decades

of corruption, poverty and violence. Mr Aquino’s

closest rivals include ousted President

Joseph Estrada and Senator Manuel Villar, the

country’s wealthiest politician.

Yesterday, thousands of workers delivered

optical counting machines to 98 per

cent of about 76,300 precincts across the

South-east Asian archipelago, Elections

Commissioner Rene Sarmiento said.

Reconfigured memory cards for the

machines have been delivered to regional

hubs after the defect prompted a massive

recall last week.

Late delivery and final testing may

delay vote counting in some far-flung areas,

the Election Commission said. In the worst

scenario, about a million Filipinos will be

able to vote but their ballots will not be

counted until the new cards arrive in those

areas, the poll body said.

About 50 million Filipinos will vote to

elect a new President, Vice-President and

officials to fill nearly 18,000 national and

local posts. — Five people were killed in theAGENCIES

wah.

Ipunter so smart.

even smarter than ah boy.

i like :)

I simply keep up my habit of selling at the juicy meaty delicious rallies...

And I keep doing it...

My R-R ratio of loss trades to win trades is 1:2...

Which means my wins are always twice the amount of losses...

Thus, ensuring net profits in the long haul...

And this bear market is making me pleased with the beast...
