okay, let's put a dash to it so no one mistakes it for good ol' christmas. no-el. short for no-elections. a charmingly sweet nickname for an ugly, distasteful scenario.
fears of an impending no-el have been hounding us ever since mrs. president showed a barely concealed desire to live happily ever after like a fairy tale princess in a castle called malacañang.
and now, with so little time before the big day, the threat is even more real — counting machine glitches, refusal of the poll-ruling body to have a manual count fallback, feelers about a possible postponement to a later date. the alarm level must have gone up so badly the comelec suddenly had to issue a press release assuring the public that the polls are to proceed as scheduled.
no, no one wants a no-el. after all, there is no such thing as a merry no-el.
