The only sad thing is, they were not able to see the real dark side of the election. Vote buying on election eve was very real. They were not able to see with their own eyes how those candidates who has the money resorts on vote buying espesially those people living on remote islands and barangays. Observers? They just saw what they wanted to see nothing more.
