For
three consecutive days, from February 6-8, 2012, the two parties SKP which stands for Salubungin ang
Kinabukasan Partylist and KKK-Kilos Kabataan Para sa Kinabukasan each composed of ten candidates campaigned room to room and
presented themselves as worthy candidates of the positions they were running
for. They gave away colorful bookmarks and flyers with their names
artistically written on them. Each party was accompanied by a teacher. Meanwhile, inside the gym were tarpaulins and construction papers hanging, sending a clear
message to the voters of the candidates whom they should choose.
