Election - 107 Election 2007, "Generally peaceful."

Almost everyone who was asked about the conduct of the 2007 elections said that it was generally peaceful The Comelec, led by Commissioner Ben Abalos claimed vindication that the elections are peaceful and clean and not violent and dirty as the opposition claimed. What does "generally peaceful" mean? Does it mean the disenfranchisement of millions of voters? Does it mean the buying of votes and election violations (presence of police, government officials, display of posters, etc.) right in the precinct areas? Does it mean the killing of some poll watchers and BEI personnel (e.g. burning of a school that led to the death of a teacher?)? Does it mean the massive cheating by both camps and the delaying tactics in the municipal and Comelec Canvass? Does it mean overspending? Does it mean forcing barangay officials to fulfill the "command vote" and then get one million pesos for doing so? Does it mean selling the results of an election for a big amount? And maybe other violations more that may never be known. If this is what "generally peaceful" means, then, we might just include "generally peaceful" as a reason for failure of elections. I can just cite one of the main reasons why these "generally peaceful" activities continue to happen. Poor enforcement of the election laws, failure to convict the guilty, and rewarding those who violated. Only in the Philippines!
