WHY should you let the candidates do all the talking?
Make your voice heard. With the launch of the Eleksyon 2007 Philippine Elections Blog, we are reserving virtual space for you to tell the whole world what you think are the important issues that should decide the outcome of the Philippine elections in May 2010.
What do you think of the candidates? Which issues should be tackled? How can we improve our ongoing coverage of Eleksyon 2007? Listen to our Eleksyon 2007 podcasts, and tell us which questions we should ask candidates in future sessions, or what points you would like them to expound on in future articles. We don’t want to just read your feedback. We want to give you the opportunity to keep the conversation going, not just by posting comments but also by writing your own entries on this blog.

Next President?
Kailangan 1] Magaling 2] May Konsensya 3] Malinis sa Pagnanakaw 4] Malupit sa Nagkakasala 5] Hindi Kriminal
I smell Mar Roxas. Serving four presidents means he’s good. His experience in Malacanang makes him the most knowledgeable of the Presidency. And yes, perhaps Kiko with his ladyluck. The career moves of Loren as a journalist were outstanding until she was contaminated with politics, where she made all the wrong career moves with her affiliations. Being number one again is her vindication so she is truly a contender.

question sa batasan five, nakakatangap din ba kayo ng pork barrel? kung meron i’m sure naitulong nyo na sa mga masa at walang trabaho yon ano…kaysa tumambay sila pupuhunanan nyo ang mga welga nila at pinang iimprenta nyo ng mga leaflets para kaawaan kayo ng mga tao kasi inaapi kayo…baket kulang ba ang mga ibinibigay sa inyo na galing sa buwis ng mga tao?

Well I think Loren will try her luck being a very ambitious person. Right now though my preference would be Kiko Pangilinan for he has shown consistency in his stand.
You were asking about the appreciation in our exchange rate in spite of our divisiveness. The good news is at least it’s not depreciating.

TO PIAN AND SALINA:
do you have anyone in your minds who will be the best presidential candidate?
the age-group of the senators today are becoming younger….from the old timers,maybe Angara and Joker,but from the neophytes,any guess who would have the guts to run for president?do you think legarda might try her luck?
I wonder why the peso value kept on escalating when reality speaks of a situation of having hard time budgeting the salary of an average employee…is there any physical sign that can stand witness to the economic progress as manifested by dollar-peso exchange rate?
I wonder how will the goverment solve the incoming problem of illiteracy due to the increasing tuition fees and prices of commodities?how would the goverment solve the increasing delinquents brought about by financial incapacity to have an education?increasing child labor?increasing street crimes in broad daylight?
Now,the suppose to be protectors of the people got used of sideline jobs from their superiors that it became difficult for them to do their jobs as law enforcers…their minds became disoriented and distorted to recognize their duties and to separate the truth from lies of their superiors…
in short,the law enforcers themselves are corrupt out of practice…
How many presidents more will pass running our goverment before all our basic problems be solved?
it seems like asking if the elephant could really fly….

To Salina:
Take note that during Erap’s time he also sued Inquirer for libel. Eventually, he cannot go against the media because it is where he does his “Pa Pogi” and even now. The GO is using the media to stir hatred against Arroyo. Where the byproduct is someone like YOU.
Well…what can I do…yung mga bobo lang naman ang madaling nagpapa-uto sa mga pulitiko.
