I truly believe that in the midst of pandemic, technology aided local and national candidates in communicating and spreading their individual platforms and intentions to the Filipino people . because of the heightened protocols in line with the ongoing world wide problem Pandemic, different Social media was the new platform for the candidate to express and persuade voter`s as they made various advertisement.  As we all know, social media platforms are increasingly being used for everyday life and now eventually in political news and information, as the campaign season for national and local elected positions begins.

For me it's a YES, as a watcher in 2022 election I've seen different dimension when it comes to the platforms of different candidates both local and national as we can see that we have a pandemic technology plays an important role in our community,society and around the world. Through the use of technology politician can create video or via live to introduce their self and other candidates and about their platforms instead of having rally in different places. Although politician make their rally in different places and some people are choose to watch via live than going to the rally in actual. It helps people to understand what politician platforms they introduce. According to my research "Technology influences everyday life and has a strong influence on culture. ... So, technology is incorporated in all aspects of culture including travel, food, government, and art. Technology shapes different cultures and differentiates one from another. It allows us to intermix". It is clear that it helps people to make things easier and faster. As a watcher of election 2022 I can see that technology really helps like the machine use in counting votes it makes things fast and easy with the use of technology.

In 2022 election, technology plays a vital role for both voters and politians. Candidates have the advantages to inform everyone about their platforms and intentions for the betterment of the country through the help of technologies. As what I have experienced during the campaign period specifically in the Miting de Avance, politicians in local and national can easily access people through live stream. Through this, voters can experience and witness the different platforms of each candidates in the comfort of their homes. This can help the voters and also the candidates to make thier choices, decisions and raise their concerns concerning the country. Indeed, technology helped both voters and politians to raise and hear the voices of each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it did help the candidates in spreading their platforms to people because technology has made it easier to access all the things that are happening in our country and even in our world. In fact, during the campaign period, technology was highly advantageous since it allowed access to people way more easily, just like what I have mentioned above. People were informed about the candidates and their intentions without leaving their homes thanks to social media. People can now identify and even campaign for their best bets for particular positions in government. Utilizing technology can do things that we have never imagined because it is a great use in today's century. I would like to highlight the machines that were used during our National Election 2022. These machines are a big help for a faster process of elections. This shows how technology has become a significant part of our lives and has impacted our way of living.

# data[].attributes.body
Indeed, technology has come a long way. It has made almost everything easier and accessible. In line with 2022 National and Local Elections, technology has really played its role. Apparently, it served as the medium of the national and local candidates to reach out to Filipinos about their intentions, platforms, and their credibility for the position they are running. With the heightened safety protocols which hinders everyone to really interact with each other personally, technology was there to break the gap. National and local candidates, obviously, have gone live on facebook and youtube about their rallies so that everyone whi cannot attend can watch and listen. With the availability of technology, it made things way easier. Aside from information dissemination about the candidates themselves, they were also able to communicate through live discussions virtually.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology has a big impact on the local and national candidates for it is because we are in the midst of a pandemic which we do know changes the way of campaigning. Social media is one of the media platforms that help us, voters, to know what the candidates are into. Their experiences, their intentions for the society, and the platforms that they are proposing. Almost all people in the Philippines engage in technology so candidates go on to that advantage. When candidates make rally about their team in a particular place, voters can watch a live stream via technology to which they feel that they are actually in that place where the rally happens. And in such case without technology how can we know other candidates that have good platforms in our society if technology has not been exist maybe we stick into such candidates that is only known in our society.

As a wrap, technology itself has the advantages and disadvantages in bringing information. We should stick on what is true and publish by a reliable sources.

# data[].attributes.headline
Despite the pandemic technology having a big impact on the success of the 2022 National Election, it helps the candidates to showcase their different platforms to inform the people on how they will lead the country. For example, on social media where they can post and share their intentions and advocacies but some people are spreading fake news about the candidates the cannot be avoid.

ELIZAGA, NYMPHA D.                       When it comes into politics, technology has a greater contributions most especially in spreading platforms and intentions to the people. As what I have observed and experienced during the election from the proclamation rally and meeting de avance. People has different point of views and perspective in choosing  their candidates. However, there are positive and negative impact in society. By the use of technology there are lot of issues throwing into both parties that causes conflict and that is the negative impact. On the other hand, both parties use technology to spread their platforms and intentions to the people in a way that during their rallies they connect it to social media like using Facebook live and also making videos such as advertisements. In this way, technology is helpful yet their is positive and negative impact into society.

Technology has a great contribution to this year's election.  It helps the candidates to deliver their platforms, and raise their opinions. Aside from that, technology helps to monitor the ratings of each candidate. In terms of voting, we used Vote Counting Machines (VCMs), which helps us to determine the result easily. Although Vote Counting Machines (VCMs) can have common trouble issues such as paper jams, rejected ballots, and defective scanners that may cause inconvenience it is way better than comparing to manual counting that which takes more time.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that the used of technology has a big helped to the local and national candidates in spreading their platforms and intentions to the people. Most especially in today's election because of the pandemic that we are facing. Through technologies we can make ourselves informed from their intentions and platforms where we can learn and choose right not only in local but in national also from the help of the technologies it makes our elections more possible from campaigning days to election day.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe technology is a big help for political candidates to disseminate their programs and opinions. We are living in 21st century era, most of the  people are using technology. Every move or action of each candidate is seen on social media because of the posts of the people around it, so even if a netizen does not physically accompany that certain  candidate he/she knows its platforms/ candidacy or even negative or positive issues because there is technology that informs everyone. Not just in social media but also in television or any other multimedia platfoms that disseminate information to the people.
Technology has done a lot of good for all of us especially on election day, its not only provides information but it also facilitates the work of watchers or people counting the vote. If there is no machine to count the ballots, it may take a long time for the next president to be acknowledge, so it is really good to have equipment that will make people's work easier. From what I noticed during the election, technology is not the problem, it is the  people' s mindset, some   are  toxic in utilizing the technology, even unnecessary information they posted. Some forgot the word respect because even the politician has their own conflict. So yeah, technology gives people a convenient living, it is the people who complicate things using the technology.

Yes, Technology helps the Local and National Candidate by using some social media platforms to promote their advocacy, by posting in Facebook, airing the campaign song in the radio and also by advertising in television. Also people used social media as a source of history or to know more the candidate, to know about his/her background and to make sure that the candidates intention is pure and worth the vote of the people. Through social media, the candidates good deeds may spread and can be shown to everyone, but not all what we can see in the picture or videos are real, it can be just an acting to get the peoples vote so it is still important to seek more information and also you need to ensure that the source is reliable.

Yes, people nowadays have various types of technology, even at the age of eight, and this has resulted in increased usage of technology. The CONVID-19 pandemic is one of the reasons for the increased use of technology. Candidates take advantage of this by running advertisements in various forms of media as part of their campaign strategy.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that in this year's election technology is the number one medium of the candidates to share or present to the people their intentions in running for a certain position. Through technology it helps the candidates to reach many Filipinos all over the world without going outside or attending rallies just to know the candidates platform and plans to our country. The fact that every people in this generation is always in social media and using their technology I believe it is easy for the candidates to encourage the Filipino to vote for them. We all know that because of the functions of technology we are able to get to know the candidates even more and how they are as a person and a public servant.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, As technology that  has evolved considerably and has been evolving in many different areas that  affects every aspect of life,  to where & how we live, and how we interact with each other. Technology helps the way how election is going,it helps by  sending information, platforms, helps peopleto see whats the truth and lies people can now surely understand without depending on one voice that manipulating our decision and other way that technology help especially that Pandemic in yet over. The positive way is technology open the minds of people that news media lied and others and technology who now had more sources of information.

QUILLAZA, HAYDEE T.

Due to Filipinos' increased reliance on social media and the pandemic's face-to-face constraints, social media will play a significant part in candidates' campaign strategies in the 2022 elections. Local and national candidates can take advantage of technology's functions to share information about themselves and their agendas. The development of technology during the election will hasten the outcome process.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, technology and it's functions really helped all local and national political candidates. Most of our politicals candidates are using technology, they spread their political platforms and political intentions using social media, computers, televesions, computer network and internet. Our technology is very useful to all political candidates and also to the citizens of the country who choose their politicians.

Elections 2022 is very intense, many filipino people still cannot accept the fact that Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. won as a president. There are still many people who continue to slander marcos and accused their family for being a thief. For me it is easy to forget and move on in this election but I also know that for others it is not easy especially that the candidates that they supported did not win. The thing to do is to pray that all filipino people can slowly accept the reality.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, especially since most of Filipino people have gadgets, particularly mobile phones. As a first-time voter of this country and even the non-voters can really say that technology and its functions really helped the local and national candidates in spreading their platforms and intentions to the people. As we all know, social media platforms are now being used for political news and pieces of information, particularly when the campaign period for national and local elected positions has started. As I observed, despite this Covid-19 pandemic, most of the candidates make ways of using Facebook, Twitter, and even YouTube ads to show us their platforms and intentions for the future and goodness of our country and its citizens. Moreover, in truth, social media plays a role in politics and is abundant in ideas, thoughts, and opinions that circulate through social media platforms. Because of this, people often act to change or influence their/ our political views.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, of course, even as a first-time voter, I can see how technology has had a significant impact on the election process, and how it has aided local and national candidates in communicating their platforms and intentions to the people. Because, given our current situation because of COVID-19, we can truly rely on technology in terms of providing updates, particularly on election-related topics. Local and national candidates are using it as an opportunity to show the people that they are serious about serving the country despite the current crisis. So, they are utilizing technology to expand their platforms through various types of social media such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, where they can convey their intentions for running for election and what good they can do for the country. Apart from that, we can see them on television promoting by a different artist to show their support, and speaking of artists, as influential people, they also use technology to help their support candidates. Therefore, technology plays a significant role in today's National Election 2022, as candidates use it to convince and collect votes from supporters.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, from my perspective. Nowadays, technology can be of great assistance to our country. Local and national candidates can use technology and its functions to spread information about themselves and their platforms. The production of technology during the election will speed up the process of the result. No more hassle and more people.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, since the concluded 2022 National and local election was the first hold under global pandemic, technology- social media played an important role  in the campaign strategy of candidates. And because Filipinos are reliant in social media.The most visible way that technology influences politics is as a tool for political actors, such as politicians and governments as well as to broadcast political messages, where they can gain more votes. Social media is compelling, and social media platforms are full of ideas, thoughts, and opinions that often change or influence political views. Lastly, Election outcome was shaped by social media for politicians who used different  platforms like facebook and twitter in political communication.

Of course, technology and its functions really helped the local and national candidates in spreading their platforms and intentions to people. We can't deny the fact that in todays' generation everything is instant just like in campaigning. Moreover, technology allows to cater a lot of people to be well informed about the candidates wants to express without meeting them. For example, in television (advertisement and news), mobile phones/laptops (facebook, instagram, YouTube, and etc.), they can use this to reach voters. To conclude, in campaigning technology has a big role it lets candidates simplify to campaign their different platforms and persuade people to vote for them and that they deserve to be voted.

The Impact and Use of Technology on Local and National Candidates in Spreading their Platforms and Intentions to the Filipino

# data[].attributes.body
The election is the process through which every Filipino can express political opinion and it is a way of choosing our political leaders. I do believe that technology helped the local and national candidates in spreading their platforms and intention especially today by the use of the internet including social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter they are able to persuade people through different campaign videos and political advertisements. We cannot deny the fact that technology has a great impact on spreading and creating political campaign materials, they are able to make campaign posters and t-shirts with the help of technology. Technology is a deciding factor in most political races, and the use of technology has become easier, especially in today's generation technological devices are so accessible and widespread at the same time. Therefore, technology has a great impact on the campaign of the local and national candidates, and we must accept the fact that no matter what the result of the Election 2022 and the winning candidates, we must be good citizens of the country. I hope that they will be a good leader of the country with their different platforms during the election and their good intentions. In conclusion, technology and politics have always been connected, and as Josh Anderson said that “You can’t engage in politics without engaging in technology”.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think it is definitely helpful for the candidates. Technology, specifically social media is widely used today. Almost everyone has their own social media account. If the candidates use this platform, they can definitely reached a wide range of people; a great place to introduce themselves, to share their plans for running the candidacy, to share their platforms and to gather votes.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, for me technology is one of the way we're candidates spread and voice there platforms for them also to recognize in an easy, yet broad way. Technology is more relevant for these timeline because most of the people use social media to gain and collect some issues and ideas also they can share learning to others.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, through technology they can easily spread and inform people about their platforms. Technology make their campaigns and platform easily to spread since most of people using technology and use technology to gain some information through these different social media.

Yes, technology had a big role. By the help of the technology we hear the intentions and platforms of the different local and national candidates. Through live campaign in facebook, creating a video about their platforms and posting it in social media, also in radios and television. We are so very thankful that technology can help us to know who are worthy and the best candidate we will vote for.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely yes, technology plays a big part in today's election. The local and national candidates was able to present their platforms and their intention through posting it in social media platforms and also posting their live videos while doing campaign in different places. We were able to hear their voices and the plans they have for the country despite us being at home. Technology also helps to make the voting runs smoothly by using voting machines that caters the votes of more than 45+ million Filipinos around the country. Moreover, technology makes it possible for us to see the results of the election and hear the different perspective of the filipino citizens towards the 2022 election through our televisions and radios. Though there might some problems that occurs such as spreading of fake news, brownout, defective voting machines and so on we can't deny the fact that technology plays a big role in today's election.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, Because of the technology they can easily Tell or spread what are there plan or platforms are, especially to those who in overseas, but we can't deny the fact that not everyone can afford technologies such as phones, television, etc., That's why even if they are using technologies, they should also campaign face to face to win their candidacy.

# data[].attributes.body
The technology Also give the important details about what happened during the Election campaign. And helps to minimize the expense of paying workers to manually count votes and enhance accessibility for disabled voters by speeding up the counting of ballots. Expenses are also predicted to reduce in the long run. Faster reporting and publication of results. Political parties and politicians may use the Internet to conduct election campaigns, communicate with constituents, and form partnerships with other groups or persons. Small groups with low resources may also be able to participate in the political process using the Internet.

# data[].attributes.headline
Technology is very important in our time today, and we cannot deny the fact that one of the the instrument or tools that politicians used to showcase their platforms is through various social medias, they run different advertisements which encourage viewers to vote for them, and there are some supporters of their respective candidates are making false information about the other candidates. So therefore I conclude that we should use technology in a good way, and whoever wins, let's accept it wholeheartedly

Yes, it makes their job easier because they can simply propagate their platforms, intents, and message through such technologies. Though it is exhausting in consideration of our current situation, we cannot deny that without technology, elections would be time consuming and would cause us problems with our votes
