SIMPLENG tao, simpleng explanation.
We understand him well because he means what he says.
He's not the typical politician na will promise you tapos wala siy
ang ginagawa, pero magaling magsalita at galing
daw sa "Harvard." Magaling silang lahat mambola o may asawa na artista
, o artista din sila, larga na. Vicente P. Magsaysay, good luck ho sa
inyo.
Mabuhay!

INQUIRER.net's Eleksyon 2007 Podcast and Eleksyon 2007 site were cited in

Here's the entry in the online edition of the latest issue of PJR Reports:
Know your candidates Online readers who are looking for reports about the 2007 elections may want to go to the Philippine Daily Inquirer site, which has a special elections sectio n. Aside from election-related stories, âEleksyon 2007â has interview podcasts with various candidates (the section currently has podcasts with several senato rial bets). Profiles of candidates are available online as well as news clips ( http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/eleksyon2007).
A SIMPLE response to a mammoth challenge this fellow-balikbayan doctor
[Martin Bautista] has taken upon himself: sir
, more power to Davids like you, who, rightly, have sprung the conventional box
, and dare the "windmills."
Like you, I was thought to be a nitwit when I returned to the Philippines from
38 years in Europe. I chose to stay in Mindanao for the very same reasons you'r
e trying to wake up this turpid nation of otherwise, warm, good people.
Sir, I'm already campaigning for your party. May more wake up and do someth
ing about it, this time. Thank you-- from a small but significant spark of
a sector of our nation.

AMONG the senatoriables' podcasts in your site, it is Senator [Panfilo] Lacson's that stands out.
His answers were direct to the point and with a high sense of integrity.

I'VE been following the podcast interviews and never heard a more substantial and practica
l program of government than Prospero Pichay o
utlined.
I was about to give up hope on my country with what's been going on, but Pichay
âs vision has made me see that there's still hope.
It's our prayer that Pichay will make it in the coming election.

I WAS rather impressed by Tito Sotto's interview. He ex
pressed himself clearly and addressed the questions directly. I found myself ac
tually agreeing with most of what he said.
I had no idea about his political pedigree: two grandfathers were former senato
rs! I just knew him as a local comedian.
Kudos to INQUIRER.net for coming out with this series of podcasts, and ridding
me of my personal biases! More power!

FOR Michael Defensor: Here in New Zealand, we ar
e very proud about you, mate. You did a very good job the previous year, and yo
u have very firm principles.
I hope most of the Filipinos in the Philippines will support you.
Mike, we pray for you to win in the coming elections.
Your loyalty to the President is very impressive. Job well done.
Good luck, Mike, and all the best.
