Ahmadinejad wins landslide in disputed election
Do we hear Pinoy politicians going back to their war room and strategizing on the 2010 Elections given what happened in Iran? And why should we Barrio Siete people be interested with what’s going on in Iran? It’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the winner in the recently concluded Presidential Elections in Iran. Mir Hossein Moussavi, a reformist was his big rival and supporters in the Tehran streets are crying foul. If you should all recall, the former US President George Bush called Iran as part of the “Axis of Evil” and for as long as nuclear arsenals are skyrocketing in that part of the globe, world peace will never creep into the dictionaries of these powers. Who’s affected? Think of how many Overseas Filipino Workers in the area.
Today, the government of Iran said that Ahmadinejad won Friday’s presidential election with 62.63 percent of the vote and Mir Hossein Moussavi received 33.75 percent of the vote.
It was a big turnout. I’m sure, Iranians wanted a change. Iran’s Interior Minister Seyed Sadeq Mahsouli said 85 percent of the country’s 46 million eligible voters had gone to the polls Friday. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called the voters’ turnout a show of Iran’s “pride” and “honor.”
Technology has been a key tactic in politically mobilizing young people in Iran, but text messaging has not been working in Iran over recent days. However, Iranian protesters still arrived en masse at meeting places around Tehran on Saturday morning.

kelan kaya sa Pilipinas maipapakita ng masa ang “pride” and “honor” ng tulad sa Iran? Hmmm..
@dencios…
i second emotion…
pride chicken madami
pede bang PRIDE BUWAYA na lang? haha
In the first place why would/should we go TO that road kung MAGING HONEST MAN LANG ANG ELECTION.
Can Phil can have an honest at walang ka Garci Garcing, Hello, ano ka hilong election?
May election ba kayang nangyari? Conass naipasa na sa mga wak-wak.
Kung meron mang eleksyon, paano ipanatili ng mga “tikasan” (gahaman) na legalized/accepted/ ang madumi-mabantot-mapangdarayang eleksyon.
Paano nga ba manatiling legal ang mapangdarayang eleksyon sa pilipinas?
Mga hanay na mga wak-wak, i-research kung paano dinaya ni Ajinominajad ang eleksyon.
Tingnan kung anong ginawa ni Ajinominajad upang ang mga masang ma pride and may mga honor MALIPOL!
Sino ang mananalo at itanghal na El Presidenti de Iran del Barrio Siete?
The Cheater or The Accuser.
ser darbs,
wala na daw dayaan sabi ng smartmatic. in two days ay malalaman na agad ang resulta ng eleksyon sa Pinas!
gusto kong bumilib kesyo umusok ang machine nila for testing. hahaha
@dencios walang dayaan umuusok na ung smartmatic. ano na lang kung, lets say, organized hacking brute force to change the result, baka sasabog na yang machine na yan.
nako e di masaya na naman ang mga buwayas kasi postponed ang eleksyon! haha
sa di na umusok iyan sa totoong eleksyon, nakakahiya sa ibang bansa ang sistema pag nagkataon. hehe
Naalala ko na naman si Georgie Bush. Tinawag nyang Axis of Evil ang Iran back then. But during that time, hindi si Ahmadinejad ang president, si Khatemi pa ang president nila nun.
And then mas nakakatawa pa yung ni-release na photo ng Iranian missile launch. Hahah. Na-irelease pa ng CNN at New York Times yun, only to find out na PHOTOSHOPPED ang picture na yun. Hahahha… Hindi anim na missiles ang naifire dun – its only three. I dunno kung sino ang bumisto nun kaya tawa ako ng tawa.
Kitang kita na naman ang propaganda ng Bush admin that time. Hahahaha…
Sa akin lang, provocative talaga itong si Ahmadinejad. Parang si Hugo Chavez ng Venezuela. Hahahah. Lakas mang-asar sa US.
I would consider Kim Jong-Il to be more menacing than Ahmadinejad. Mas matakot kayo sa isang yun kasi yun talaga e may intention na maglaunch ng nuclear missiles at bombahin ang US, South Korea at Japan.
Nako, sana maayos ang gulo dyan sa Iran.
Naalala ko na naman ang Command and Conquer Generals na game. Hehehe.
Actually, kahit sino ang manalo sa kanila sa president, the religious body still rules Iran… as long as their so-called supreme leader Ayatollah is being recognized.
According to history, the monarchy-ruled Iran was on the way to superpower and secularism. When secularism was on full swing, religious leaders rose and students were mostly brainwashed by ideals… Some were turned into saboteurs and destabilizers, bombing cinemas and etc. massacres… and pointed fingers to the current government and other Zionists. Since Iran enjoys a Muslim majority, the sympathy goes now to the Ayatollahs…
Somehow, Iran is another parallel universe of Philippines. Installing “God-fearing” and “righteous” men in power but little can be done to put society in order… we look at religion as our liberty and ultimate guide to life yet we actually suffer from the various influences of intolerant leadership, in different magnitude.
Do you know a lot of gays were executed after the revolution? and still happening… Singers, actors, businessmen…
There are also various cases of unjust detention linking to religious conformity issues.
There’s some sort of similarity actually between this Iran’s election with the 1986 Elections in the Philippines.
Marcos won the election at that time, that’s according to him. But we all knew that the election was rigged. 4 days later, he was gone because the Church rallied his people against the rigged elections. Now, that was the moral authority of the church then.
In Iran, even if it is widely perceived that the elections were rigged, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, seemed to have alreade closed the door for possible compromise, negotiations and discussion by telling his flock to unite behind Ahmadinejad, calling the result a “divine assessment.”
Well stated!
N?ke them.
Art, what you meant was nuking them… please huwag po… Iranians are generally nice people… hahaha…
@Art. Nah, sorry but that comment is out of touch. No way!
Indiscriminate killing of men, women, and children? including the new born and unborn? How can anybody can even think of that possibility?
Wow.
wow, satin mukang malabong mangyari yan lol kahit sinung manalo satin may aangal at aangal ng dayaan lol

Mga Makabayang Filipinos dapat umpisahan nyu na ang training ng Arnis or Combat Stick-Street Fight Technique, in case mangyari ang nangyari sa Iran.
Dapat may laban po kayo sa mga batuta kung gagaminitin ng mga mandaraya ang mga kapulisan ng bayan.
[...] is now as high as 150 on the seventh day of post-election protests, right after Ahmadinejad won a landslide in a disputed election. I read that one Tehran hospital confirmed 19 deaths [...]
