     What happens before an election of officers? Campaigning, of course! It's the only way you would get known by people and get elected as an officer. There are those who do great things just so people would like them and give them gratitude and their votes. There are those who campaign early and late, too. Those who campaign late have the least probability of getting elected, because not a lot of people know them, unless they have a great idea for a campaign. I'll be elaborating about campaigning early.

     Campaigning early, that's a pretty good strategy, but a pretty unfair thing. Early campaigning gets you more popularity, but more enemies. It gives you more face time, but less friends.

     I say it's unfair, but in reality, almost every candidate campaigns as early as a year before the actual elections. Even legalists have approved of it and are taking action. they want to make premature campaigning legal and as such, smooths over its flaws. Some of them even says that it's open season, because they aren't exactly saying that they want to win, but just want to get more popular.

     Other people don't agree, though. For instance, take Senator Miriam Santiago. She will pass the Santiago bill which will interfere with hot-headed candidates who want to campaign a few months earlier than the agreed date. It makes candidates sign a certificate of intent to run for a position six months before the deadline of passing the certificate of candidacy. When this bill gets approved, there shall be no more unfairness.

     If you were a perfectly evil guy though, you wouldn't think that it's unfair and you would love the chaos and anger you would be causing for campaigning early. No one sane should ever do that. For the time being, think about it. Is campaigning early alright or is it perfectly unfair?
