Presidentiables among the senatoriables

Year 2010 is still far, let us see what they senators (Presidentiables) performances for a year. Katatapos lang ng election and its respite time sa politica naman.

I think Allan Peter Cayetano can become president someday. he have balls.

Escudero would be a good bet for the next president. Young but with his good
name, he is a better choice than other presidentiables. Wish Legarda would be Vice President,but would she like to be?

Although 2010 is still far to go I have made my choice. I will go for Ping Lacson. He is the man to consider if we want a real change in the country. Most of my fellow OFW will agree on this. Villar is my second choice. He has the political machinery to be a presidentiable. Anyone that will be endorsed by the administration is doom to fail especially if the Arroyo government will push for a charter change. It will be a political suicide to have an endorsement from Arroyo.

The next opposition candidate for president is not among the senators - it will be Jojo Binay, with Chiz as his running mate! GO!!!

1. legarda - i don't think she is ripe. i don't think the country is prepared for her. she should set her sights on the vice-president position again.

2. escudero - too young is correct. he needs experience in the executive and should run against legarda for vice-president.

3. lacson - may be what the country needs. if he can win. which is mathematically possible.

4. villar - the brown taipan. if he can run the country like his businesses then we're in for better times.

my opinions. i may be right. or wrong.

Villar or Lacson, maski sino sa dalawa pwedeng maging susunod na presidente ng Pilipinas....
Si De Castro naman, pwedeng presidente ng mga palakpak boys...

Please stop using the words "presidentiables, senatoriables" etc., because they are not proper. This is a "cold blooded murder of the English tongue" (to borrow the words from "My Fair Lady").

Ping should be it, as far as "presidentiables" (it sucks, really this word) are concerned. We need someone stern.

Thanks.

Mar Roxas will be my bet come May 2010 Presidential Elections.

2010 is still very far. arroyo will do everything in his power to extend her presidency either by amending the charter or declaring emergency rule.
from the looks of it, we have some presidentiables that give better prospect for the country. some of them are lacson, roxas, villar or better still, trillanes.

pre, paki-tuloy nga yung analysis mo.. all the way to Angara and Arroyo naman para me TU din. salamat ah, sir!

roberto, ang problema kasi, si joker 80 na. di naman siguro viable para mgpresidente ang senador na 83 years old by 2010? ang problema ng tu, wala nga silang viable candidate, sa ngayon, for president.

thank you to everyone for your comments, it's interesting, i think, to compare notes on how everyone feels about particular leaders.

Ping Lacson would be the best for this country. I hope he will run again for President. We need someone a leader like the one in Singapore, US, Britain, Japan among other nations... with conviction and forceful when it comes to their principles... may it be popular or unpopular for as long as for the good of all their countrymen.

DICK GORDON IS THE ONE MAN WITH THE VISION AND THE TRACK RECORD TO BRING THIS COUNTRY ON THE ROAD TO FIRST WORLD STATUS.

HIS MACHINERY WILL BE THE SOLID MASS VOTE OF FILIPINOS UNFAZED BY MACHINERY , POPULARITY OR LINEAGE.

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS KAY DICK GORDON!

The biggest gainer in this election as far as presidential prospect is concerned is mar roxas and the liberal party. Loren will be a soft sell for Vice President but hard sell to be President. Chiz is still the future and too young for the executive level three years from now. Ping Lacson must have realized by now that the presidnecy is beyond him already. He doesn't have the base votes for it. If the Vice President will continue to behave as the advocate of the Arroyo administration he too will suffer the consequence. He has seen it already, Recto is being punished because of sins of the Arroyo administration. And in all these, "hoy!hoy!hoy!" looks in tack. If by chance the God's will enlighten loren to run as vice of mar roxas, that will be the knock out combination. Metro Manila Luzon Votes plus Visayas and Mindanao Ilongo votes will be solidly for this team.

It is too early to jump the gun, let us not be carried away by the impressive numbers posted in the election result. Let us keep stock of their individual achievements during their tenure in office. Then and only then shall we decide to whom we shall entrust the future of our nation; to the one who can steer our country towards economic growth/prosperity. Bearing in mind what they had so arduously professed during their campaign, lest we forget and suffer the same faith. The malady that ails our country is that we as citizen are too to fragmented in our ideals; we form to protect the very individuals that cause us harm, in hindsight we are the cause of all our miseries. So let us take this 3 years or so as an opportunity to weed out those who do not deserve to be President, and to elect a rightful one. Then I believe that we shall all reap the benefits of our knowledgeable choice.

Senator Villar is no different from other turncoats and trapos. Didn't he manipulate parliamentary procedures to get Erap impeached in 2001 when it was popular to be anti Erap? Then in last in the senatorial campaign went to Erap's arms when it was convenient to so. Meek Sabal, Jolo, Sulu.

eddie gil is still my man!

In choosing for 2010 President, Filipinos should look upon the performance of the possible candidates, their loyalty and dedication towards our country, their ability to run the government and their knowledge in economy and charisma to attaract investors. Most of you are just saying without thinking. please think something positive, let's see first who will be will be based on the above-mentioned qualities. I don't want to have a president who will dropped the value of PESO.

among the winning senatorial candidates you mentioned during the last election...i'd rather go for my 'sistah' ping lacson..in terms of balls, he has all the qualities needed as a leader of our nation...setting aside 'rumors' of d old paoctf days... as a former chief pnp, he was able to instill discipline to the law enforcement community... no kotong cops...no taba cops... less crime rate and put the pnp on top of the situation. yes, we need people with an iron hand and has strong political will to do things for the country...2010 is still far, we still have to see these winning senatorial candidates not 'senatoriables' perform at the senate hall...we still have to see how they will craft and pass appropriate and pro poor measures..we dont wanna waste our time watching these people at the halls of senate debating to nonsense topics and arguments in 'aid of legislation' thing.... we need action oriented senators!

VILLAR IS THE MOST OPPURTUNISTIC POLITICIAN THERE.A NOTED LAND GRABBER,HE HAS DONE NOTHING IN HIS OWN CITY OF LAS PINAS BUT GRAB LAND TO DEVELOP TO SUBDIVISION.HE USES ANYTHING JUST TO DECEIVE PEOPLE.LAS PINAS IS THE ONLY CITY I KNOW WHICH HAVE NO PARK,BECAUSE EVERY VACANT LOT THERE IS CONVERTED TO SUBDIVISION BY THE VILLARS,AND THIS ARE NOT FOT THR POOR THIS ARE FOR THE VILLARS TO BECOME RICHER.IMAGINE IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT,WHAT A BIG COUNTRY TO GRAB LAND...PATAY NA NAMAN PINOY...NALOKO NA NAMAN!!!

Whoever the media mogul, the Lopez oligarch choose will become the next president of this country. The daily barrage of accusation of cheating must be true because the opposition are winning in their bailiwick but if the TU wins there is failure of election.

How about Sonny Belmonte of Quezon City?

I am tired and sick of politics in our country. Candidates will do anything and everything just to be in power - for what? For the money. Millions of pesos are being wasted by the Congressmen and Senators for their Countryside Development Fund.

In the first place, they are elected to make laws and not to make projects. That is the work of the Executive Department. NO where in the world is corruption prevalent than here in the Philippines.

And speaking of corruption - people who are complaining are not even taxpayers. So where is involvement and integrity. Nagbabayad ba ang mga iyan ng buwis - bakit nagrereklamo sila ng corruption.

Manny Pangilinan,Joey Concepcion or Robina Gokongwei zino pa! Kaya tayo hindi umaasenso ang hilig natin sa mga recycles!

I don't think that the current set of Sentors and Leaders are fit to save our country.Given the fact these people are recycled, you would not expect anything different. The saying goes, same trapos elected will do the same thing. but filipinos expect them to have different result.What a joke.

Legarda,Escudero, Lacson and Villar are populist that does not have balls to think and decide for what is right for country. They have the balls to fight for things that tye feel will increase their popularity for the next election.

The senate as a law as making body is redundant and have passed its effectiveness. Imagine, with two chambers fighting together on basis negative side of a legislation and not on merit. They are all inutils and pretending to inteligent.

After all hoops and positive comments from Media that Filipinos have matured in terms of selecting leaders. My guess is not. The kind of leader elected in the current electoral execrise prove we are still no where in that position.

Fast forward, i do not see any positive things that will happen to improve the livelihood of the Filipinos based on the recent election result. I would expect politicking will be more intense as presidential election is coming in 3 years time. we will have another sarsuela and again the Filipinos will wake up with no positive things to look forward to.

I miss Marcos without Imelda and her opportunistic allies.

Mga KABABAYAN, gumising tayo walang aasahan sa sa mge leader na ibinoto ninyo. None of them proved their capabilities. Sa Mga Congressman na walang katlinuhan , maawa kayo so mga Filipino.

I hope that someday some one will use the KAMAY na bakal to clean the mess that these POLITICIANS have done.

I would prefer to have a Goverment Running on BENEVOLENT Dictatorship that will fight for the real rights of the FILIPINO people to have a decent food in every meal, proper education and health, freedom from any harm and persecution and right to live peacefully. This is not a dream, Many Asain countires succeed because of Strong Leadership., South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore some of the may example in our region.

But the Philippines, we are still struggling despite our so-called 100 years of independence and our claimed to the most Democratic Country Asia.

NAKAKAAWA TAYO, Imagine the congress and Senate as well as other local governments are run people who does not even know what is right and wrong.

oo nga,ang dami kasi tangang Pinoy...saka ang media sa atin obssessed masyado sa tabloid journalism kaya yan ngyari na brain washed nila mga tangang Pinoy..ANG SIGAW KO
BOYKOTIN ANG TV PATROL puro masasama balita dala,walang positive parang si De Quiros....hatred ang nanaig imbes na profesionalism.

Ping Lacson to me is still the best bet for the presidency. It is just unfortunate that politics is so dirty that the issues thrown on him are so muddled. In his time in the Senate, he proved that he is above all these issues. He is so focused on his advocacy: fight graft and corruption and show others that he can be a good model for his own advocacy. Ping is so disciplined. Maybe at this stage of our political life, Ping will be able to pull us through. He has the kind of leadership that inspires, the man is just so down to earth.

i think Ping Lacson will make some difference if he will be elcted as the next President.

kailangan natin ng Lee Kuan Yew type of leader who will impose death penalty to drug traffickers and stiff penalty to corrupt public officials.

democracy doesn't do any better for Phillipines. kailangan ay kamay na bakal

binay:
street parliamentarian yan noon, idol ko yan kaso nilamon na rin siya ng systema. sigaw laban kay marcos, tama na sobra, palitan na , 20 years in power ka na, binay 21+years na.... imelda may succeed ferdie, wife ni binay naging mayor na ng makati... pagkatapos ng 2nd term niya, anak naman kaya niya ang susunod na mayor ng makati? kailan ang apo?

alan peter cayetano:
isang pang nagtatatag ng politican dynasty... parang sinabi niyang bobo si pia, kailangan pa ng isang cayetano sa senado, ano ang hindi magagawa ni pia na magagawa niya? (pork barrel funds, dapat meron din si alan). pati asawa eh congressman na din yata, swerte naman, pork barrel na naman..... swapang pati nga boto ng isa pang cayetano na kakarampot lang eh dapat daw sa kanya ibilang...kapag maiingay ang ilog, mababaw lang yan.....

ITO BA ANG GUSTO NINYONG IBOTO KO.....

SI PING ANG KINABUKASAN....

The initial results of the still, unconcluded elections as far as Senators is concerned will not in any way, can be use as a litmus test on who will be the opposition’s strongest contender in 2010 presidential elections.

We can expect for possible infightings amongst the ranks of the opposition. ‘Am very sure that Erap will, again have a very big say on who will be their presidential standard bearer, to mention that he has still the clout and money which is very important in an election.

If anyone among Legarda, Lacson and Villar will ever run for the presidency, my humble supposition is that they will not get the same sympathy in terms of votes as what they got from the last senatorial election.

For me, it’s very clear that Legarda and Villar are traditional chameleons, balimbings and political opportunists. They will do everything just for their self preservations in terms of politics. Villar will do everything to be in the limelight of politics because he has a business empire to protect.

It was public knowledge that these two took a big part in bolting Erap from the presidency; but what they are doing now?!! Kanino bang “Pundiyo” sila nakakabit??? Kay Erap parin dahil may utang na loob sila!! Politika nga naman!

For me, Ping Lacson or Mr. “expose’” will not make it also to the presidency. Baka puro imbestigasyon lang ang mangyari sa two chambers of congress natin.

I agree with other’s comments that this bunch of politicians such as, Legarda, Villar, Lacson are mere second hand politicians and not fit for the highest position of the land. Nakita na natin ang kanilang kakayahan sa pamumuno.

For the administration, I’ll vote for MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando if he ever runs. I like his resolve in making the main metropolis thoroughfares tidy, clean and his strong determination to decongest the traffic even his actions faced strong opposition from the people affected.

Most of the politicians being mentioned as possible presidential candidate comes 2010 have been with politics for the longest time. They have been in government long enough to have made a difference in the lives of ordinary Filipinos. Like a see saw, some have tasted being with the administration of the time or with the opposition. Yet, nothing much have been achieved courtesy of these politicians. Can we not look for candidates elsewhere, with business savvy, strong political will and unquestionable integrity? None of the GO or TU senators deserves to be president.

There is currently a discussion here on who among the senatoriables would be best for 2010. How sure are we that there will be a Presidential election in 2010 in the first place? If the Filipinos are not smart and vigilant, there would be no elections at all.

The Charter Change maneuver could be one of the possible causes for a no-election scenario, and there are others...

The current administration have allowed their greed for power and term extension take them over, we must all be wary.

PING LACSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!NO MORE, NO LESS!!!

Are you sure there will be Presidential elections in 2010? With the continuous push for Charter Change by the Gloria administration and their overweening desire for power extension, the 2010 elections is still in grave danger of being canceled.

There is an interesting article regarding the overweening ambition of Gloria for additional years in office…

———————————-

Nanloloko pa rin

By Ellen Tordesillas; 03/06/07
Sa kanyang pagbibida sa Australia ng magandang ekonomiya kuno ng Pilipinas sa kanyang administrasyon, sinabi ni Gloria Arroyo, “ I have three more years to go in my term and we will keep reform going in the remainder of this term.” (May tatlong taon pa ako at ipagpatuloy natin ang reporma sa natirang panahon sa aking termino.)

Ibig sabihin ba noon maniniwala tayong bababa siya sa 2010 kapag natapos na ang kanyang ninakaw na termino?

Ewan sa inyo ngunit ako hindi ako naniniwala. Hindi ko pa rin makalimutan ang kanyang sinabi sa anibersaryo ng kamatayan ni Gat Jose Rizal noong Dec. 30,2002 hindi siya tatakbo sa pagka-presidente sa 2004 elections dahil kung tatakbo raw siya magkakaroon ng walang katapusan na hidwaan sa pulitika.

Sinabi pa niya sa interview niya sa CNN na kahit hindi raw niya matapos ang mga gusto niyang gagawin pagdating ng 2004, talagang bababa siya sa kapangyarihan na kanyang inagaw kay Joseph Estrada noong January 2001.

Maraming naniwala. Maraming mga kakampi niya ang naghanda tumakbo sa pagka-pangulo sa 2004 katulad ni Raul Roco na noon ay education secretary.

Sampung buwan ang nakalipas, bumaligtad na si Arroyo. Inanunsyo: “Ako ay tatakbo para presidente sa eleksyon sa 2004.” Hindi lang sa tumakbo siya, nandaya pa ng husto para lang magpatuloy sa kapangyarihan .

Nanloloko na naman siya ngayon para hindi na aasikasuhin ng mga nasa oposisyon ang pagpatanggal sa kanya bago 2010 at maisulong nila ang charter change. Kapag magtagumpay sila sa charter change sa pamamagitan ng People’s Initiative, magpapatuloy siya sa Malacañang habambuhay.

Kaya nanloloko na naman si Arroyo dahil nakita nila sa resulta ng eleksyon, lalo pa sa mga nanalo sa senador na galit ang taumbayan sa kanya. Tingnan mo ang nangyari sa kanyang dating chief of staff na si Mike Defensor. Dahil sa baho ni Arroyo, kahit anong endorso ni Boy Abunda, anong sipag ni Defensor sa kampanya at laki ng gastos niya, hindi pa rin siya nanalo.

Kapag wala sa kapangyarihan si Arroyo, sampahan siya ng katakot-takot na kaso ng plunder at election sabotage sa ginawa niyang pandaraya noong 2004 elections. Hindi lang siya nagnakaw ng boto. Bilyun-bilyun na pera ng taumbayan na dapat ay para sa mga mahihirap ang ginamit para pambayad para sa mga nagtulong sa kanya sa pandaraya.

Nakita natin kung paano ginamit ang pork barel para bilhin ang boto ng mga kongresista para lang huwag bumoto sa impeachment laban sa kanya.

Piangyayabang niya na 6.9 percent raw lumago ang ekonomiya. Kayo ba gumanda ang buhay nyo?

we will make a website or organize a group for MVP for 2010 president.....

GO TU MVP 2010... Manny V. Pangilinan president

and tony meloto for senator

gawad kalinga

Ping Lacson for President??....BIG NO!!!...for MISS UNIVERSE PA SIGURO!!

We need people with accomplishments like...Bayani Fernando-MMDA & Marikina, Richard Gordon-SUBIC, Roilo Golez-Post Office, Duterte-DAVAO, Osmena-CEBU, etc....in various government posts.

I expect the 14th Congress to file an impeachement against PGMA at the first day opening because it is the will of the Filipino Voters as reflected in the last election. To hell with the economy! I dont care if the peso hit 100 to a dollar basta masaya si Ms. Ellen Tordesillas at sana sabayan na rin ng rally since Mendiola will be open as promised by Mayor Lim. This year promises to be very exciting and chaotic.

Kabayan might be right. He posed a good question for all of us to think about? Will there be election in 2010? Remember what Recto said? Up to the last minute, some of these politicians did not think that there will be election last May so they resorted to the tried and tested trick of violence and threatening the voters.

With all GMA's allies in the House of Representatives, nothing is impossible at this point. Shameless, that is what most of them are. We saw this shamelessness right before our eyes during the impeachment proceedings.

Omar, I would have loved to read your post, if not for the unfair labelling you gave to Ping Lacson. I think you would have done a better job if you can tell us why you are not voting for him and not simply labelling him. You do not want to be labelled, don't you? That would be unfair to you. Same thing goes to Ping Lacson and anyone else we want to talk about in this blogpost.

Three years from now is 2010, enough for GMA to groom a presidentiable who will try to protect her in the event that she is no longer in power.Come to think of it, a senator who will be kind to the Palace will surely get all the support to be in the most coveted position of Senate president, the color of those senators are still hard to identify whether they are for this group or that faction or allied to whoever gives favorable support in cash or in kind.Bottom line is, if you field a presidentiable without logistics what is your chance. But take the promise of bounty from the owner of the chest which presently is full to the brim, is that not tempting, you give me the guns and bullets and you will be protected.

If a person is really committed to serve and he will take the job of the President of the Philippines, for sure he/she will experience a tremendous pressure and stress.
Every sector of the society will expect an improvement from the president but because we are all inter-related (e.g. business community vs laborers, Farmers vs land owners, investors vs environmentalist..etc) it would be very difficult to make tough choices and arrive with a wise decision. So first we need a Presidentiable who has "WISDOM". Has a track record of being right/correct on every decision he/she made.

We have a very low budget in comparison with other countries and yet we still have a deficit. Our budget is playing a very big role in shaping the future of our country. Eventhough the EVAT is painful for us, it is necessary. The government must have enough money to spend for the development of our country. So secondly, the next president should know how to deal with the members of the Congress to draft an excellent budget. Must be knowledgeable on how to empower the B.I.R. to collect what is due to the government (I just hope that everybody in this forum, pays taxes...=))

One equally important aspect is the "peace & order". In terms of quality of labor, I think Philippines is better that China, cost is almost the same but Philippines don't have the peace & order ithat China has, that we know investors need. The next president should have a track record of pursuing peace agreement with all the rebel groups (NPA, MILF, MNLF, etc.). Imagine if there is peace in Mindanao??? Imagine if there is no NPA in Southern Tagalog???

Another quality that the next president needs is "Managerial Skills". The longer the experience the better.

Tama si Gerry...let us scrutinize the performances of the newly elected public officials for the next three years.

Just to add one more thing. Let us consider ourselves as shareholders of a company which in this case id the Republic of the Philippines. After three years we are to convene and choose a new CEO.

God Bless Philippines!

I don't think Sen. Dick Gordon will make a good president. He is hot headed, gets emotional and cannot face criticism. Have we forgotten his attitude during the jueteng hearings, how he reacted when insinuations were made that his relative is involved in jueteng. We need someone who is cool but calculating.

Yes, Rudy. Let us see how our potential ‘presidentiables’ perform. The promise of bounty from the owner of the chest is so tempting. However, this election also showed that that is not enough. TU had the logistics and the resources but the result of the election did not guarantee that people would be elected because of these reasons alone. Our ‘presidentiable’ should show us that he/she is the better choice.

Ahh, wisdom, yes, we need a President with wisdom. Unfortunately, in this government’s time, wisdom is soooo elusive and most of the President’s men and women have lost plain common sense. What more of wisdom?

Peace and order, yes, the investors can only be assured of their investment if there is peace and order. Have we questioned why we do not have peace and order now? This is because of the injustice and poverty in our midst. The NPA and MILF become attractive alternative for people who have been wronged and cannot find justice.

Managerial skills, absolutely, the kind that inspires, that transforms society into something that is proud of itself and being able to address its own issues, managerial skills that bring us to a stage where we all are proud to be a Filipino.

Unfortunately, this government has failed in all of these 3 areas, Protossian.

Let's blog, post, argue and quarrel about everything, anything political. That's one way of making our voices heard. Every one of us, what ever our views, have one thing in common-and that is that we all want the best happening to our beloved country and people. We want the best for ourselves in our lifetime, and the future of our next generations. This common denominator is the one force causing the continuing political upheavals and turmoil happening in all those years in our country resulting from our grim determination to find the ideal government officials we want that could give light to our aspirations. It's so sad that as of this moment we are still stuck with the lot of them that have failed us, including this present government. Adding salt to injury, advertently or inadvertently, unheeding of our contempt and displeasure we have bestowed them, they are still making moves and plan to perpetuate themselves on us forever by this plan to do the CHA-CHA. ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM? Please reply, the future of the our next generations are in your hands.

Actually, Bert, I have no problems with Charter Change. I recognize that the current constitution is not perfect. There are a lot of flaws in it. My biggest problem right now are the people that are pushing for it. I am not sure if these people are capable of reviewing it with the best of the interest of the rest of the Filipino people and not their self-serving interests. I just do not trust these jokers. The process that they are suggesting are just ridiculously open to manipulation.

Ang apat na inilista bilang mga future "presidentiables" kono sa 2010 are nothing but inutile senators.

Legarda is just a mere news reader, wala siyang karanasan sa Executive Department kaya hindi siya qualified maging pangulo o pangalawang pangulo. Ayusin niya muna ang kanyang broken family. Pagtuonan na lang niya ng oras ang paghingi ng tawad sa Diyos sa pag-abort niya sa kanyang pinagbubuntis kamakailan. Nilaglag niya ang pinagbubuntis niya dahil alam niya na sagabal sa kanyang pangangakampanya nitong nakaraang May Elections. Hindi man lang naawa sa kanyang sariling baby na pinatay niya sa kanyang sinapupunan. Kung wala siyang awa na pumatay ng kanyang sariling anak ano na lang kaya sa ibang mga tao.

Escudero is too young to be president and has no experience in Executive Department. Hindi naman siya talagang oppositionist sa House of Representatives kung di obstructionist of progress. Noong siya ay Congressman, ano ang kanyang binalangkas at pinasa na batas na pinakikinabangan na mga Pilipino ngayon?Palusugin niya muna ang kanyang pangangatawan bago siya umambisyon na mamuno ng bansa. Kung di niya kayang palusugin ang kanyang sariling katawan wala din siyang kaya na palusugin ang ekonomiya ng bansa.

Lacson is nothing but a mere policeman and a member of Mafia. Siya ay mamamatay ng kanyang mga kaibigan na may alam ng kanyang mga baho noong siya ay nasa PNP. Lahat ng mga shabu na nasamsam niya sa raid noon ay bininta niya ulit at ang mga daan-daang milyon na kita niya sa shabu na iyon ay tinago niya sa bangko at pinuhunan niya ang iba sa negosyo sa America na mina-manage ngayon ng kanyang anak na si Pampy. Ano ang binalangkas at pinasa niya na batas last 13th Congress na pinakikinabangan natin ngayon?

Itong si Villar naman na isang malaking tax-evader na hindi maikakaila na kaya lang pumasok sa gobyerno upang protektahan lang ang kanyang mga negosyo. Nagpapayaman lang siya lalo sa kanyang pork barrel na tinatanggap niya taon-taon. Bising-busy siya sa kanyang negosyo and at the same time naninilbihan bilang senate president. Sigurado na uunahin niya ang kanyang negosyo, part-time lang niya ang pagiging senate president. Napakalungkot na part-time lang niya ang pagiging senate president ngunit bilyon ang kanyang nabubulsa bilang pinuno ng senado. No one can serve two masters at the same time. May magandang bagay ba siyang magagawa sa Pilipinas kung siya ay maging pangulo? Kaya ba niyang gawin ang Pilipinas na mapabilang sa hanay ng mga Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei at Hongkong? Eh hindi nga niya nagawa na mapabilang ang Las Piñas sa listahan ng mga Most Livable Cities in Asia or sa Pilipinas man lang. Ang mamuno pa kaya ng bansang Pilipinas. Ang tanging nagawa niya noong siya ay Congressman ay ang pagsulong ng impeachment case laban kay Erap. Ano ba ang kanyang binalangkas at pinasa na batas na pinakikinabangan natin ngayon? Magconcentrate na lang siya sa kanyang mga negosyo kung saan siya may alam.

Ang kailangan natin na ihalal sa pagkapangulo ay dapat may impressive track record and brilliant resume. Dapat may sapat na kakayahan, talino at tapang na sugpuin ang mga katiwalian sa gobyerno. Kurapsyon ang isa mga pinakadahilan kung bakit mahirap ang bansa natin.

To: OFW in Afghanistan

Exactly what I was saying, you agreed with me then. You said your biggest problem are the people pushing for chacha, and, you don't trust those joker. Same with me. Only that they're not joker, they are serious gringos and gringas who want to perpetuate themselves in power forever. You have two choices, Sir; 1.) Since you are in favor of chacha, so, you will let it happen and let JDV and GMA serve as the kind of leader you want-forever; 2.) You will let it happen over your dead body, and mine, so you will make your move now and let them know your position in order to avert a surefire catastrophe later. Take your pick, Sir.

Vincent, nauunawaan ko ang iyong alinlangan sa mga taong nabanggit mo na sa iyong palagay hindi karapatdapat na maging pangulo ng bayan. Sino sa palagay mo ang dapat maging pangulo?

To Derley: Si Miriam Defensor Santiago ang pinagdadasal ko na maging pangulo sa 2010. Naniniwala ako na kayang-kaya ni Miriam na ibalik ang mga Glory days ng Pilipinas noon. Napatunayan na ni Miriam na siya ay napakahusay na leader at karapatdapat na ihalal na pangulo noong siya ay former RTC Judge, Commissioner of Immigration and Deportion, and Secretary of Agrarian Reform.

Noong siya isang RTC Judge pinatunayan niya ang kanyang tapang at independent mind when she defied Marcos. It was Marcos who appointed Miriam as RTC Judge. Ngunit noong 1985 ang mga UP student protesters ay pinadampot at pinakulong ni Marcos dahil sa pagpoprotesta, Miriam defied Marcos when she granted bail to the accused. She had also disposed of the highest number of cases although she was a new RTC Judge.

Ang Bureau of Immigration and Deportation ay kilala bilang isang notoriously corrupt government agency. Ngunit noong siya ay malagay ni Cory sa BID, sa loob ng isang taon, nagawa niya ito na Most Honest Govenrment Agency. Pinatalsik niya lahat ng mga corrupt officials sa BID, hinuli niya ang mga pedophiles, hinuli niya ang mga miyembro ng mga sindikato ng iba't-ibang bansa na tumukas papunta dito sa Pilipinas. Dahil sa kanyang excellent performance ginawaran siya ng parangal ng Ramon Magsaysay Award(Noble Prize of Asia). Siya ay naging bantog sa buong mundo dahil dito. Naimbitahan siya ng mga iba't-ibang bansa tulad Australia at Brazil na maging Keynote Speaker.

Noong si Miriam ay naging Secretary of Agrarian Reform, she fully implemented the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. Pati hacienda na mga pamilya ng kanyang asawa ay hindi pinatawad, sinali din niya. She then empowered the peasantry and tried to eradicate rural poverty by giving land to the poorest. Pero ngayon ewan ko lang kung gumagana pa ang CARP, inutil na yata.

Miriam's impressive educational attainment:

Elementary- Valedictorian
Highschool- Valedictorian
College - Magna Cum Laude
Masteral (USA) - w/ "A" Avarage
Doctorate(USA) - w/ "A" Average
(In the USA, "A" Average is the highest)

Schools attended by Miriam are the ff:

-University of the Philippines(scholar)
-Maryhill School of Theology(scholar)
-University of Michigan(scholar)
-Academy of American and International Law(scholar)
-California Judicial College, University of California at Berkeley(scholar)
(In the practical courtroom test, American judges gave her the highest grade of 33 out of 35)
-Harvard University(scholar)
-Oxford University(scholar)
-Cambridge University(scholar)

Si Miriam ay may sapat na tapang na puksain ang mga katiwalian sa gobyerno, may sapat na kakayahan at talino upang ihanay sa listahan ng mga First World Countrries ang Pilipinas.

Kung hindi lang siya sana dinaya ni Ramos noong 1992, hindi sana mahirap Pilipinas ngayon.

Iboboto ko at Ikakampanya ko si Miriam kung siya'y tatakbo muli bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas.

God Bless the Philippines!
