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.

the call for GMA impeachment is at her heels. as some say, the weight of the wealth she has allegedly took will make her less than four feet and more than forfeit her term.
but who is next pres?
Lacson - but if you take away what you C, it is poisonous
Kiko - the Sharon stuff doll, is it noted
Legarda - Double L (LL), lipat ng lipat.litong lito
Roxas - MARket czar or caesar, likes to wash hands to imply innocence as seen in his website
Erap - just chant his name repeatedly and you have cash, Josephidal? busted na siguro, wag na hirit
let’s enjoy their show! but, sorry, tickets are not free, it will cost us our future….

I don’t know what happened to the people that went out on EDSA II. They have forgotten how corrupt Erap was, the evidences were ovewhelming. Everybody seems to forget about it.
With GMA, I don’t know how great the evidence is against her alleged account? But did the evidence equated to Erap’s evidences?
I don’t know what happened. People eventually just woke up one morning and forgot about Erap and then move the allegations to GMA.
I’m predicting that who ever will be the next president. He will also had allegations of corruption and there will be another impeachment.
Who is the problem? I’ll leave to the people who think rather that those who are fanatical.

To Admin:
Since most of the posts here constitutes a lot of people’s rage against the present administratoin and the Inquirer is a reputable newspaper in the country, I’m hopeful that some of these posts be published. We are in a free country and these opinions are highly principled and substantial. Voice out the opinions with the likes of Salina, this will wake-up those people esp. GMA.
This reflects the change that most OFWs wants for the country.

To All:
I just hope that the coming senators will work for the people who gave them the mandate to do so, create more laws that will make our economy more prosperous. They should stop their ‘papogi’ with the media because it is too much, it is damaging our country.
To Salina:
Please ditch out the pharse ‘Bugos president of CEBU’. Cebu did not vote for Arroyo alone, the majority of the Philippines did. Don’t push the ‘truths’ you are thinking because you cannot even prove it. Baka galit ka lang sa Cebu dahil ang Cebuanos ay anti-opposition. To tell you, ayaw kasi namin nang trapo at sa mga taong walang ginigawa kundi manira nang kapwa(Cayetano,Escudero et al).
At sana naman, yung mga taong katulad mu dito sa Pilipinas maliwanagan na sila. Naghihirap sila kasi tamad sila, tulad nang majority from Luzon,hindi kasi marunong maghanap nang trabaho palaging naghihintay nang himala.
You are not in the Philippines to justify that maraming naghihirap dito and walang trabahong available. You are merely getting the information from the media, which sometimes overkills the facts. I know you are pro-opposition,sana naman wag kang pumunta dito sa Cebu. Wag mung dungisan ang aming magandang lugar.

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.
