ELECTIONS. An Ear informer complained that a lot of politicians who are running for posts in the coming elections are suddenly making friend requests on Facebook. “Pwerteng daghana nila. Makasapot. Samok kaayo,” the informer said

CAMPAIGN. “Mas makasapot gyud kung ma “friend” na nimo sila sa FB kay magsige na og post ug mga pangampanya. Nasakop ba kaha ning online campaigning sa atong balaod?” the informer asked.
