Guns, goons, and gold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase "guns, goons, and gold", sometimes referred to as the "Three Gs of Philippine Politics",[1] was a catchphrase coined by media to describe the violence and vote-buying that characterized the political campaign period in the Philippines,[2] beginning with the presidential reelection campaign of 1969,[3][4][5] declining only with the advent of electronic voting machines during the elections of 2010.[6][7]
