Two months ago, I asked you if we should post a comment from a politician or a political group. Somebody had written what amounted to an invitation to readers to join “Team Gordon,” and I didn’t know what to do.
I like what Kabayan said in response, and his pragmatic frame of mind: Let’s post it, he said, and if what happens after is not to our liking, then “discontinue the experiment.” I also like Bert’s evocative suggestion: Post them all, he said, and we will “clobber them with kisses, or with stones.”
A couple of other loyal readers said perhaps we shouldn’t entertain posts like this; I hear them, but perhaps if we adopt Kabayan’s experimental approach they can see their way to a qualified Yes?
Here, then, is that two-month-old post from Gordon’s camp.
Vision. Experience. Track Record.
These are the criteria for leadership that should guide us in choosing the next President in 2010.
Dick Gordon is the only one with Vision, Experience, and Track Record.
He turned Olongapo City around, made subic an investment and tourist destination, and brought about the resurgence of tourism in the Philippines.
Through his long involvement with the Philippine National Red Cross, as governor and Chairman, Gordon has brought help to those struck by calamities and diseases.
As Senator, he has worked on bills and resolutions aimed at repairing our people’s faith in government institutions.
As President, we are certain that ONLY DICK GORDON’s TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERHSIP can bring about CHANGE that is FOR REAL, FOR BETTER, FOR EVERYONE, AND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME!

This is a GORDON CRAP or GORDON B*** S***
A legend of his own mind…I love my own type…
Well…ano pa ba ang expect natin from a politician…eh di ang sabihin kung ano ang nagawa nila kuno..
He turned Olongapo city around…might be true…eh di balik na lang sya sa olongapo…
If the current Chief Justice will run for President..He will be the only right choice….
Gordon? and the rest right now???? sayang lang boto ko…
Bert
NO to Gordon for president. Only for one reason. And that is that Gordon is in the same basket of rotten eggs as this rotten administration. He is a persistent defender of the interests of THE SCAMMERS, therefore, by association, his hands are tainted, not only with grease, but also with blood. Also, by association, he is taking the low moral ground. We learned from experience that a president with low moral standards is a disaster to the nation and its people. Only for this reason.
Andres Garcia
I received this too and I’ve longed believed that Richard J Gordon should become our President. I signed up to support his campaign and so have all my friends and family.
MC_90, our present chief justice is Reynato Puno. Perhaps you meant retired chief justice Hilario Davide.
D. M. Roxas
There are a lot of things that I personally don’t like about Richard Gordon too. But we have to admit, that if we scrutinize his accomplishments and his administrative track records that he is very much qualified to become the next President. Unfortunately, I don’t see him as a winner due to the way Philippine politics is run.
I am still hoping that next time around the Filipino people will be able to put someone in Malacanang with true Vision and the will to make things happen. But this will not happen if we will continue with partisan politics and refuse to support people that we do not like even if their programs and vision is what is best for the country.
Delrey
It used to be that Dick Gordon was easy to like fella, especially during his Subic days. but a big change has happened since he became a senator. Very noticeable is the change in his demeanor. He has become abrasive and arrogant in the way he treats resource persons invited to senate hearings. You bet, power has gone to his head and he shows it when he does not get what he wants. A very dangerous trait for one who wants to be President. So beware.
JunPindot
I USED TO like DICK Gordon. But after watching him during the senate hearings where he put Cayetano down. Does this make DICK a better person? I did’nt think DICK Gordon is a statesman. He whines like a 5 year old. I like my leaders to show their age and not arrogant like DICK Gordon. He is such a DICK.
Kabayan
Heheh, the stones are flying early
OFW in Afghanistan
I admire Gordon for his leadership and vision. His hands are tainted, right…but who isn’t?
The only person I have in mind is Pimentel but just like Salonga, Pimentel will not win the presidential election.
I can see that Gordon has the capacity to unite people with differing opinions and loyalties at the city level. The national level is a different ball game alltogether. This is where Erap failed…where once he was a success in San Juan. How do you unite people of different loyalties do you do a De Venecia by accommodating everybody and paying them off or you do what the current President does: forget everybody else and only reward people who lick your ass and those who do not like you…make their lives difficult?
A person who has the qualities (rooted in tried and tested values of integrity, respect, fairness and justice) to transform a society will not need the tricks that JDV and Gloria do. And if we find that person, will the Filipino people embrace him and support him?
MC_90
Andres Garcia,
yes i meant CJ Puno…I will vote and campaign if he runs for president…
You signed up for the DICK Campaign? hehehe goodluck…I just hope you wont get too close to him..you might turn into a DICK l…like GORDON hehehehehehe
MC_90
JunPindot,
If you are looking for a better person…you wont find it in senate…not in congress…not in malacañang…not in san juan…not in prison where trillanes is…not in the mayors office…not in the city councilors officesss….what I am saying is…there is no such thing as a good person or a better person in all of our politicians right now….
by the way…dont go to Tanay..you wont find a good or better person there also
hehehehehe
MC_90
Bert,
are you saying you will not vote for any Presidential candidate at all? in the next election? …
because all of them are associated…all their hands…including their feet are tainted..not only with grease but with blood..???

It would be nice to see Gordon at the helm of labor department. The way he turned around Subic giving people jobs and creating opportunities, it would be a great task if he will do it to the entire nation.
Warren Palacio
Jun Pindot,
Ahah! You’re another Cayetano lover. I heard your favorite senator is in Geneva with his wife and sister Senator Cayetano. I thought he was committed to investigating the ZTE deal and now he’s off on a junket, using the people’s money on what amounts to an international howdy doodie party.
And don’t start talking as if you know anything about being a statesman. Gimme a break pal, you wouldn’t know what a statesman is, given the way you use gutter level language in your comment.
Harping on Dick Gordon’s justified exchange with Cayetano is just an attempt to cloud the fact that Gordon achieved and accomplished much more than ANY of the so called Presidential Candidates. Yeah, the other Presidential Candidates are all likeable, but when you compare them with Dick Gordon on the basis of track record they all pale and look like limp wristed, botox injecting sodomites.
Luis Abad
Ewan ko ba kung bakit badshot sa inyo si Sen Gordon, tama lang naman iyong ginawa niya kay Cayetano at kay Abalos.
Gusto pang bulatlatin ni Sen Gordon kung sino pa ang naalok ng lagay para maayos ang ZTE deal. Si Cayetano naman gustong isara ang usapan eh hindi pa naibubunyag ni Neri ang dapat ibunyag, gusto ni Cayetano i-sekreto sa publiko kung sino pa ang naalok ng lagay sa ZTE deal na iyan. Paano, mukhang kampon talaga ni Ricky Razon si Cayetano…
Yang si Abalos naman, saksakan na ng daming anomalya ang ginawa sa Comelec. Maniwala ka bang wala siyang alam sa Hello Garci at Hello Bedol? Tapos may mga taong nagsasabi na kawawa daw si Abalos at napahiya ng husto. Kung di ba naman baluktot ang isip ng mga tao.
May nakapagsabi sa akin na may nagbabayad ng malaking pera sa mga columnista at commentarista na sirain si Gordon sa mata ng tao. Ganyan kabulok ang ilang mga tao sa lipunan natin, iyong magaling parating pinupukol at iyong mga walang silbi, iyon ang gustong iluklok sa pwesto.
Para sa akin, si Gordon lang ang dapat iboto sa pagka-Presidente. Wala namang nagawa iyang si Mr. Palengke (mahal pa rin ang bilihin) at si Sipag at Tiyaga (mag landgrab at mag insider trading).
MC_90
Oo nga pala…wag nyong ipagmalaki ang REDCROSS….dahil kahit sino pa ang head ng REDCROSS talagang maraming natutulungan sila….AT ANG TULONG NA YUN AY HINDI DAHIL SI GORDON ANG CHAIRMAN NILA!!!!!!
WAG NYONG ISAMA SA CREDENTIAL NI GORDON YUN….PLEASE LANG!!!!!
TYPICAL POLITIKO!!!!
pinoy
Pag ako naging presidente gagawin kong socialista ang pilipinas para maibsan ang kahirapan. Lahat nang may ari-arian na higit sa 50M ay kukumpiskahin at pamimigay sa mahihirap.
Hindi ito komunismo dahil sino man ay pwedeng magpayaman. Pero pag mayaman ka na obligasyon mo nang ipamahagi ang iyong kayamanan sa mga mahihirap.
Yan ang hamon ko sa mga gustong magpresidente. Kaya nyo ba yan manny, ping, mar, loren, dick? Aber!
Raymond Pap
Slanted itong blog na ito. Lahat ng kontra kay Dick Gordon nasa taas, iyong magagandang sinasabi nasa baba.
Wala na, nabili na itong si Manolo at si John.
Black propaganda blog ito.
MC_90
Pinoy,
di ka pa tumatakbo siguradong talo ka na o patay ka na…siguradong ipapapatay ka ng mga politiko natin dahil ayaw nila ipamigay mga nakurakot nila hahahahahaha
kiko
I used to really like him. I won’t be against his presidency but i wouldn’t support it too. How can he unite the nation when he can’t unite Olongapo? By the way, be afraid to consider him a place in the labor department. He might turn the force into volunteers…Volunteerism is a great thing but don’t resort to it when you have funds to pay to the people. Didn’t BCDA by virtue of R.A. 7227 provided funds for these former U.S. military facilities? Just a clarification, jobs were generated during the time of Payumo, not during the time of Gordon. I’m not a fan of Payumo but that’s how I see it. It was a good start with Gordon but the politics that he molded in SBMA was the same that made his bad ouster.
Bert
To: MC_90
Let’s put it this way, first thing first. Of course I will vote for my choice of president. Might even for Gordon, if he should show some semblance of going for the higher moral ground from now on. Which is to say, stay away from the worst of ‘em-from the most brazen of them that ever ruled this land with impunity. If I don’t vote, the consequence would be that I would lose the right to criticize, or to applause, the next president of my dear country. And I love doing those, as you could see. True, all of them are tainted with grease, I suppose, but I believe some of them are not tainted with blood, hopefully. Some are tainted with just enough grease, maybe because of conscience, some are insatiable, because of greed. Some of them are tainted with so much grease-and so much blood as well. I will vote for someone without those sins. But, since MC_90 said there is none, and I believe him, I will vote for one who I believe would have some conscience therefore takes only just enough grease to be comfortable enough in his life-never for one who has blood in his hands. In all, the president I want is the person I perceive who has the capability to make my country a better place for my children, and my children’s children, to live, without so much the taint of grease and, (worse) blood, in his hands.
MC_90
Bert,
I wish you all the luck…and Ill be hoping that you will turn out to be right…and i will turn out to be wrong, In that way both of us and the whole of the filipino people will finally be able to experience a better life.

It might be that Gordon the likeable Dick is in the wrong institution — the Senate. For a person who is so straightforward and who speaks his mind, mlabo na di makipagdebate sa isang institusyon na puro ego at satsatan. I would definitely vote for him to be President. Gordon is executive material. He has made his bones so to speak.
Jhun
kahit na ano ang sabihin ninyo pareho lang ang lalabas sa botohan dahil kahit di natin aminin nasa dugo na ng pilipino yang kurakot wag na tayong magmalinis kapag nasa ibang bansa lang tayo kaya natin nararamdaman ang mga karapatan natin sa walang disiplinasyon
kung kahihiyan lang walang matitira sa mag binotong kandidato kasi puro walang hiya sa pilipinas lang ang makikita na kung sino ang may mataas ang pinag aralan ang mga pinakakurakot..
Noel Garcia
I’d rather have Dick Gordon as President rather than Mar Roxas or Manny Villar.
Gordon has done a great number of things for our countrymen. Roxas and Villar have done NOTHING.
Villar railroaded the impeachment against Estrada and now is licking the ass of the Estrada led faction of the opposition.
Roxas, on the other hand, is neither here nor there.
MC_90
Noel Garcia,
Can you please enumerate here what the DICK have done to make the lives of the filipino people a better one…other than being a DICK and pocketing money….
Kabayan
Hohum, Team Gordon is pushing for Dick Gordon for President while Gloria and her ilk is pushing for HER to become the next President if not Prime Minister for life. She is even trying to revive the Cha-cha like an evil mummy from the grave, with the intention to both deflect from the new corruption issues sprouting forth and to push herself to extend her already morally disgusting rule.
You’ve taken your eye from the real ball Team Gordon. First of all you must be sure that the current “ruler” would not extend HER term, manipulate the Constitution and not run again for ANY public office including the position of Barangay Captain. When you are certain that the current “ruler” ceases to manipulate for a new or even lifetime term, only THEN can you think about vigorously pushing for Gordon as President.

Let’s go for Gordon all the way…and lead the country to the kangkungan, hahaha…

kahit sino maging presidente kung pareho pa din sistema di giginhawa ang mahihirap. kailangan palitan ang sistema gawing socialismo. sa europa may mga partidong socialismo. dapat magtatag ng partidong socialismo dito. yan ang iboboto ng mahihirap.
siyempre ayaw yan ng mga capitalista at kakampi nilang mga politiko. pero higit na marami ang masa. kaya kung pipilitin at ipaglalaban.
Errol
No to Gordon presidency not ever!!!!

Tama ka jan…pero ang masasabi ko lang…maganda na ang sistema natin..hindi na dapat palitan….angproblema ngayon ang nagpapatupad ng sistema natin….at ang mga pilipinong katulad natin na nagluluklok ng mga tao sa pwesto na magpapatupad ng sistema…
bottomline..tama ka..kahit sino pa ilagay mo jan ganun pa din ang mangyayari…kahit si trillanes pa ilagay mo jan…magbabayad lang ng utang na loob yan si trillanes sa mga tumulong sa kanya sa election…at yun ay ang opposition at mga makaliwa…
So ano ang solution???? babalikan ko pa din ang suggestion ni sen santiago…MAGHARAKIRI LAHAT NG NASA SENADO AT CONGRESO…ISAMA NA ANG LAHAT NG NASA MALACAÑANG AT MGA GABINETE…ISAMA NA ANG MGA OPPOSITION…ISAMA NA ANG MAKALIWA…
AT WAG NA NATIN IBOTO ANG ANAK O MGA KAMAG.ANAK NG MGA LINTEK NA YAN!!!!
MGA POLITIKO UGAT NG KAHIRAPAN NG TAONG PILIPINO!!!!!!

I agree with Kabayan. First things first. We must make sure that the kapit-tuko in Malacanang does not extend her stay beyond her stolen 2010 mandate.
Once that is settled, we must next ask ourselves the question: do we want to replace a kapit-tuko with another one?
I rest my case.
Enrico David
With the Glorietta bombing yesterday, I rest my case, Dick Gordon is Flash Gordon and he is the leader we need during this times of crisis. When there was nobody around, no law enforcement agencies, no Ayala representative, no local government of Makati around, even the DSWD assigned by the President left after promising to release P5,000 and P10,000 to victims, it was Dick Gordon who was there to console and eventually put closure to the wife and family of Rainier Tan when he led rescue and retrieval efforts to locate his remains after everyone gave up and left..

Para sa akin the best talaga si Senator Dick Gordon. Maraming beses na niyang napatunayan yan — sa Olongapo at pati na sa lahat na pinamunuan niya. Kailangan ng Pilipinas ang isang matatag, matalino, may puso at may leadership at motivation. Ang mga katangiang ito ay nasa kanya. Bigyan natin siya ng pagkakataon na paunlarin at baguhin ang bansa natin. His track record alone can prove his worth!
