By lpgd

The ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) did a great job of giving the general public a chance to get to know more about some of our presidential hopefuls. The station provided real public service with that ANC Leadership Forum.

I wasn’t able to watch the live telecast—only the replay and just parts of it so I didn’t catch all that was said. However, I did hear enough to be able to form an opinion about the first batch of participants, namely Senators Richard Gordon, Mar Roxas, Francis Escudero, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, and Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio.

Judging how they responded to the questions asked of them, I would rank the participants this way with 5 being the lowest.

1. Panlilio
2. Teodoro
3. Gordon
4. Roxas
5. Escudero

Without referring to the validity and political implications of their responses and just focusing on how they addressed the questions, I would say that Panlilio and Teodoro did well. I felt that Panlilio was the most candid. I also appreciated Gordon’s responses although I thought some of his answers were a little too wordy and circuitous. As far as these three are concerned, I’d say they did not disappoint at all, communication-wise.

On the other hand, I think Roxas and Escudero proved themselves to be bad communicators. Neither one of them provided any real substance with their responses. Roxas even thought it was appropriate to inject his “lalaban tayo (we will fight)” campaign slogan in his closing message. He did it in bad taste. Fortunately, for him, Escudero was even worse.

To most people, Escudero would probably sound like he is making real sense. But if you really listen hard to his statements, you will easily realize that there’s really nothing there. I’m sure the young senator has the brains, but unfortunately he chooses not to show it. Instead he wastes his and other people’s time—precious airtime included—with his oppositionist, motherhood crap.

Interestingly, Escudero got some of the biggest applause from the mostly young audience. This is a telling and troubling sign that Escudero’s worthless verbiage is working. It’s that or those who clapped for him were just gullible or plain dumb.

At this point, I would like to reiterate that this is not about the validity or the political implications of the statements made by Escudero and the other participants. My only focus here is whether or not they can communicate sincerely. In my book, Escudero failed miserably in this regard.

Why am I making an issue out of this? It’s simple. I equate sincerity with respect. A person who talks to you without any sincerity is basically disrespecting you. He is basically telling you that he doesn’t hold you in high regard; that he looks down on your intellect; and that he is convinced he can get away with giving you his bulls__t. It’s even more insulting if the person talking to you in such a manner is asking you to give him something as important as your vote.

I wonder about the forum audience present at the Leong Hall of the Ateneo de Manila University. They applauded Escudero’s crap. Were they not insulted at all by his manner?

I sincerely hope that come 2010, all Filipino voters will have already learned to demand respect from politicians.

    ang problema kasi sa mga botante natin eh kung sino pa yung dispalinghado, eh yun ang gustong iboto. si bayani fernando, richard gordon, gilbert teodoro ay identified sa administrasyon pero mukhang malinis naman ang performance at credentials. meron din sa oposisyon na mahusay at hindi trapo. si escudero at mar roxas nasobrahan naman ng gimmick at pa-utot kaya nakakawala ng gana. they only capitalize on the evils of arroyo. kung talagang mahusya kang lider hindi mo na kailangan magmura o magpa-impress sa masa. performance ang sukatan dyan.

    Fr. Panlilio is a good choice but he needs all the support he can get.

    The others are what we can commonly call as traditional politicians and would not make us move forward.

    I am really sad that we are lagging already compared to our SE asian neighbors especially Singapore.

    Kawawa naman mga anak natin…….

    Para sa akin ay mas gusto ko pa ung may nagawa na at may pinakita nang mga nagawa sa atin,Bakit kasi di ninyo tignan ung mga may nagawa na at may pinatunayan kagaya ni Bayani Fernando, Dick Gordon. Yan ang mga politikong talgang may pinatunayan na at hangang ngayon ay may ginagawa sa ating bansa.
    Yang mga nakalista sa iyo jan mga ok yan naman kaya lang ala pang masyadong pina kikita sa atin sila at ung iba naman ay puro porma lang ,

    Si Escudero mukhang hindi okey… magaling lang mambola na pataga-tagalog pa. Lumang style na yan. Si Teodoro kumbaga sa tex panabla lang yan. Si Mar Roxas mukhang pa-showbiz lang ang dating pati na rin si Kiko pero wala ring isang salita. Si Erap eh bahala na kayong mag-isip malalaki na kayo. Si Gordon, hmmm ewan ko lang. Si Loren Legarda no comment ako. Si Lacson laglag na yan…I think mas mukhang sincere si Gov Panlilio hindi man ako katoliko.

    I agree with delay that we focus on thinkers not sweet talker.Reflected kasi dito yung pagka showbiz nang mga pinoy.Gusto lang ng sige intriga, yung gumagawa hindi naman pinupuna.Yung walang ginagawa basta nasa publicity sila yung mangunguna sa surveys.I-ban na lang kaya natin ang mga soap operas at tv showbiz talks?
