One, I'm told that the press cannot endorse candidates. True? Do they have influence or are the papers and networks objective? Also, what sways Salvadorean voters? Neighbors/family? Regions? It seems like there is still a log of hate out there, especially from ARENA. How effective is that?

Your take on the hospital/medical system would be interesting as well. I've been in the ER a couple times in one of the private hospitals, Para Vida, and received very good care here.
