Noynoy Aquino will not win in 2010

Di ako sangayon na di mananalo si Noynoy. Nakikita namin kay Noynoy ang sinseridad at katapatan sa pagpapatakbo ng gobyerno. Lalong lalo na hindi siya corrupt at hinding hindi sisirain ang nasimulan ng kanyang mga magulang. Mabuhay kayo Noynoy-Mar.

Dude, Harvey, you need to write little and get straight to the point. You have not justified the title. Are you just after the hits to this page? This is indulgent rubbish.

Nothing new here. Just wasted my time reading.

Well said Harvey...Yes we can!

Where can we send our contribution for Aquino's campaign funds?

Mabuhay ka Noynoy...

mananalo c ninoy kung wala c mar roxas sa tabi nya, kasi ang gagawin ni mar roxas ay gaya ng ginawa nya kay mayor lim. during campaing period sa 1998 presidential elections, they campaigned for mayor lim but two day before the elections they campainged for erap estrada because mar roxas knew that mayor lim will not win in the election.
sa totoo lang mga TRAIDOR ang mga roxas. sana mag isip-isip c noynoy.

I observed that Noynoy's group is orienting the entire Filipino people that he can effect changes, and that, if Noynoy would be lost in 2010, meaning he was cheated.Since the people around him are known demonstrators, some of them are kamagnanakaw, they would resort to an EDSA 3 revolution, to instill Noynoy as President like his mother.The Filipinos should know that anomalies in public service are started during the time of President Aguiinaldo up to present.We should know the presidentiables platforms, as some of them are cliches programs.For example, how Noynoy address the continuing agrarian unrest in the country which failed to solve by his mother Cory.

tapos na ang speculations, Noynoy has now made his intentions formal.

it's time to stop capitalizing on his being "the son" of ninoy and cory.

let's go down to what has he done in the past? and what can he do in the future?

according to noynoy his first agenda would be the continuation of his venganza against the marcoses as he would continue to recover the so-called hidden wealth. this is a bad sign. tiyak wala nanaman mangyayari sa palakad nito kundi venganza. we were already devastated by the arroyo regime eh, ang gustong pumalit ay political revence pa rin ang nasa ulo. would the filipino allow this? as i was telling, talagang wala talagang alam itong mga aquino!

Noynoy Aquino will not win in 2010 --- I don't think you were able to adress the title of your article

Yes, I read the article PhilStar's Mr. Pascual too.

Boy, is he really a downer. I figure him to be an intelligent guy, really, but there's something wrong with this guy. He uses his power to write the wrong way.

Good job Harvey.

Noynoy will win, he must win if we are in search for a leader who has the integrity and strong moral fiber. He can lead the government bureaucracy by example. I think that the essence of accountability is clear to him. I will trust the future of my children to him. I don't think he will destroy the heroic deeds of his parents by going the way of traditional politician.
But Noynoy should distance himself from the rubble rousers who have nothing to contribute but divisiveness.

"Filipinos are left with no other choice but to always choose between the lesser evil"

Bakit nga ba nakokontento na tayo to just compare the candidates and choose the lesser evil? For example, we tend to favor Erap over the administration candidate (or those that are pro-GMA) because we think Gloria corrupted the Country more than Erap did. Are we sure that when Erap will be in office again, he will not do the same corruption activities as he did when he was in Malacanan before?

We should choose our candidate based on their capabilities and principles. We should choose the leader who will favors Filipinos among others and should be willing to fight for the Country against all odds. I think kelangan natin ng Pangulo na magaangat sa ating kaisipan na tayong mga Filipino ay isang lahi na makatatayo ng sarili at superior tayo as compared to other races. With this, development and growth will follow and eventually ever Filipino will develop self esteem.

As for Noynoy, as Casino suggested, dapat magkaroon sya ng sariling image as a leader and not just the sole son of Senator Ninoy and Pres. Cory. And to resolve the issue of Hacienda Luisita.

Well, at this point in time, this is a wake up call for all of us Filipinos who are clamoring for a real change. This coming 2010 election is an open door for each in everyone of us to contribute in our own little way by helping and truly support the candidates that possess a real reformist especifically the candidate for President. This candidate should not be a beholden to the self-interests of the ruling oligarchs, business groups and traditional politicians. I encourage each in everyone of us to open their eyes when choosing candidates to be elected. This 2010 election is the right time for all of us to elect the right leader of our beloved country Philippines.

Tama ka sa sinabi mo Sir Harvey(",) Yung mga columnista na yan kasi have become so jaded na wala silang nakikitang pag-asa. Yung iba sa kanila, alam mo naman....natatakpan ng pera at interes at mga mata (siyempre tumanda na sa pagiging manunulat-marami ng kaibigan sa status quo) kaya ayaw na rin sa pagbabago.

Sir, I saw you on ANC over the Filipino Channel. I have promised to devote 1/2 of my salary for October for Senator Noynoy's Campaign. Any idea where I will send the money if ever?

My e-mail add is alquinn.pantilagan@aramco.com.

It is really disheartening to read articles that say, only those who have endless resources could win an election. Noynoy Aquino is the only candidate who has the moral authority, pedigree and the heart to lead our nation and bring back the pride in every Filipino.

Our family is already planning to find ways to contribute in Noynoy's campaign.

Let good triumph over evil.

Noynoy for President in 2010.

i concur with your opinion that noynoy will not win the 2010 elections especially if his issues would delve around the macos factor. the political atmosphere in 1986 is entirely different from 2010. according to noynoy his first agenda is to recover the so-called hidden wealth of marcos, so the aquino vengeance issue is again around the corner. this would again fuel the fight bet the marcoses and the aquinos which could do nothing in solving the devastation brought by a mismanaged arroyo administration. this is a bad sign! i think we should not allow this to happen again like it was during cory. cory had a failure of governance because she got busy against the marcoses thus, a neglect in addressing the problems of the country!

Yes, I truly agree with you. Such a nice comment and encouragement for everyone to actively take part in whatever way, small or big contributions, material or effort to inform our kababayan the ONE who has a genuine heart to lead our ailing nation, for reform in governance, and fight corruption. Among those already showing to aspire for presidentiable position, and i agree with you, the most who has the integrity, truest intent for the Filipinos is NOYNOY AQUINO. Let's join together to let our voice be heard to our kababayan that i is now time to choose someone like Noynoy who has a genuine heart to serve sincerely the Filipino people, someone who will not likely take advantage of the position he is in.

I left the Philippines in 1980 (during martial law under the Marcos regime) to come to the U.S. I have lived here since.

I have not followed Philippine politics, etc., since I came to U.S. (although I was "politically" active during my college years in Manila).

Although I have not lost hope in the Filipino people doing the right thing, I (and countless Filipino expatriates) when the people elected movie stars, etc., to government posts and lead the country. In part, I don't blame the people because most of them are uneducated and do not know better than electing movie stars.

I came to believe in Philipine politics during Ninoy Aquino's time and his bid for the presidency (but which costs him his dear life). When Cory was catapulted to the Presidency, I felt that it was time that the people get what they deserve - equality and JUSTICE FOR ALL. They did until Cory stepped down as president and it was "back to normal" with the succeeding president. however, I believe that during Cory's presidency, the people saw that life can be better if the person in power really cares about the common masses, which Cory did. Corruptions under Cory's presidency is next to nothing, even unheard of.

Now the baton has been passed to a new generation of Aquinos; that his parents' dream "shall never die." I believe Noynoy's announcement to run for President is a "breath of fresh air" for the Filipino people as well as expatriates like me. I am sure he will make the "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" (if I can borrow President Obama's catch phrase).

I hope the Filipino people, especially the downtrodden, abused, forgotten and denied justice should work together to elect Noynoy as the next President of the Philippines. As President Obama said it well, "change should come from the ground up."

All the best wishes and good luck to Noynoy. Go get them Noynoy!

I think its high time we filipinos change our way of thinking! It's good to keep the family and friendship values but other than that, we need to be less scared of the rich people and the wealthy and powerful should be fair to those who have none. Change should start within one's self. If only everybody would pitch their part in making the country a better place then that would be great

i was expecting more explanations on why Noynoy won't win...and then i read almost nothing...seems Mr. Keh just rode on the recent announcement of Noynoy, wrote a piece, titled it with something to catch your attention...and then...wala!

I second the motion Mr. Harvey Keh, this is another chance given to us, to show not only to the trapos but also to the present regime that, united, we will stand against their evil intentions. Let us not allow them to subvert the true sentiment of the silent majority and let's do it now.

possible but not for certain. i heard chitchats like this in the 1986 elections and ... you know what happened.

money is commonly but not always the gauge in political winability.

What's up with the provocative title that is totally inconsistent with the content and message of the article?

Thanks to your very enlightening message and this is true...i agree with you... we had shown that fight during election of the late Corazon Aquino and we can show it one more time....THAT PHILIPPINES CAN STILL BE A GREAT NATION WITH DIGNITY AND HONOR..we always have to hope and pray for that...and with that I as on OFW here in Hongkong who really wish our country to be great again will support Noynoy Aquino ....by the way i was once a member of the Friends of Butz Aquino Movement way back in the '80's....Thank you very much and more power to all of you...

Hi! Harvey,

We loved your comments. Can we post this to our vote.ph site. We are preparing this site for the election and your comments are great.

Thanks.

Mabuhay! I am one with you. We Filipinos should stop our perenial belief that a person cannot win if he doesn't have hundred of millions. That's why corruption is so rampant in our country because of suhol,etc.

para sa makabuluhang pagbabago, i would say COUNT ME IN!

very well said said Mr. Keh, now is the time to change voter's frame of mind equating winning with billions, this is the right time that the very reason why cash-strapped candidates like Padaca and Panlilio won be brought to a higher level, on a "national scale" and finally let's ask ourselves do we elect candidates who arrogantly boast of their billions as a vehicle to a sure win or Nonoy, I need not say much who he is, one thing is sure though, every contribution of Juan, Pedro, Maria... will surely support a worthy cause.

Mr. Keh, Noynoy will win the election. People are tired of corrupt and power-hungry politicians. Roxas has no choice, he has to give way. He and Korina Sanchez appear to want the presidency too much they are turning off people. The others are corrupt. Only Noynoy looks acceptable.

i am a true believer of democracy in our country THE PHILIPPINES.THAT IS WHY I AM SUPPORTING THE CANDIDACY OF BENIGNO'NOYNOY'AQUINO 111 FOR PRESIDENT.HE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT THE PHILIPPINES WILL HAVE DURING THIS TIME OF POLITICAL CHANGE FOR A BETTER PHILIPPINES.HE WELL BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH A POLITICAL RENEWAL FOR THE FILIPINOS FROM A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT TO AN HONEST GOVERNANCE AND HE CAN ESTABLISH A CLEAN AND HONEST POLITICAL LEGACY FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION WORTHY TO BE PRUOD OF BY THE FILIPINOS.

CALLING ALL FILIPINOS AND ALL VOTERS IN THE 2010 ELECTIONS.LET US VOTE FOR 'NOYNOY AQUINO III HE IS THE MOST HONEST CANDIDATE THAT WE WELL BE HAVING THIS ELECTION IN 2010 .LET US SUPPORT HIS CANDIDACY SO THAT OUR COUNTRY WELL BE GREAT AGAIN AND WE FILIPINOS WELL BE PROUD OF WITH JUSTICE FOR ALL,NO CORRUPTION IN THE GOVERNMENT NO DISHONEST OFFICIALS IN THE GOVERNMENT IN OTHER WORDS THERE WELL BE A COMPLETE RENEWAL SYSTEM IN OUR GOVERNMENT IF HE IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT SO LET US SUPPORT 'NOYNOY'AQUINO FOR PRESIDENT

I believe in your causes. But i still will not vote for Senator Aquino. He has too many advisers coming from different groups who have their own personal agenda. Someday these same groups will clash. Mas magulo ang gobyerno. Sorry to say, but, the Guy has nothing to show except that he is the son of two beloved leaders.

Your title is not appropriate for your blog feature...

Simple but worth a million attitude must be good moral character. To all of us, Filipinos who were already registered to vote for our new President and Vice-President in 2010, please be very careful in choosing the most appropriate and deserving candidates who could really make good changes in our government, first and foremost is to eradicate corruption in all aspects of life and secondly, to alleviate the mud-like and squalor living conditions of the poorest of the poor and the last but not the least is to provide means of livelihood to all who have been unemployed for the past years. VOTE WISELY and please choose Nonoy AQUINO for PRESIDENT and whoever his running mate is, please also choose him as VICE-PRESIDENT.

all Filipinos who wanted more for Philippines should be the one to cost the campaign... i myself will...

where can the OFW like me send my share for it.. any account for us here to give the little we have....?

GOD loves the Philippines so much that the death of Tita Cory paves way for another miracle for those who had no hope for the PHIL...

This is the time ...NINOY will not WIN ... we will WIN... the Philippino will win... KAYA NATIN eto... basta sama sama!

I am 101 % agree that a reform presidential candidate like Noynoy Aquino deserve full support from ordinary electorate. Once elected as President he will serve the best interest of the majority of the Filipino.

I wish him all the luck and bless. May God bless our country the Philippines.

mali yata ang title !

Noynoy Aquino will not win in 2010 ? or it should be
Noynoy Aquino will win in 2010?

Thanks....

i think he is not prepared for the presidency. he should undergo a lot,lot,lot of preparation. the following are his perceived handicaps:
1. poor in public speaking. even during reading his prepared his speech, he can not deliver;
2. poor in explaining issues. talagang nangangapa;
3. is he again like her mother who will depend largely from his staff. tiyak mabebenta o maipagbibili ito without knowing;
4. mukhang uto-uto. the filipino people will again be the grand loser;
5. looks like to be a puppet by the military. the presidency needs a strong personality. he might face like her mother numerous coup de tats.

Yes you are right my friend,Politician who invest so much money to be elected will going to steal from the people to get back the money they invested plus 1000% or so,of interest.They are not fool to waste their money just like that without benefiting from it.Politics right now is not serving people anymore,its business, that's why our country became so poor.Tamaan sana sila ng kidlat.Hopefully Ninoy change that.

The "L" Sign from "Laban" to "Love Pilipinas"

LP Mayor Ferdinand 'Bong' R. Maliwanag of Candelaria, Quezon is suggesting to the party and the people that the "L" sign be made to symbolize love of country. He believes that if the Filipino people truly love the Philippines and fight for that love, all problems can be solved easily.

"L" that used to signify "Laban" can also indicate "Liberal" or "Leaders" or "Light" and now "Love". Nevertheless, of all significance, love brings about basically everything. Because when there is love, change is achievable. When change is achieved, there will be hope. And when there is hope, there comes fulfillment.

So the next time we make the "L" sign, it means "Love Pilipinas", says the mayor.

Love for the people, love for the country, love for life and love for the Lord our God!

I believe that the reason behind the seeming lack of interest or passivity of Filipinos to the glaring excesses of the administration is the fact that they have no one to trust among the people in the opposition. Actually, the clamor or call for unity in the opposition saddens me. And it seems to me that the people close to Noynoy like Ex-Senator Drilon are trying to mold him into their kind- traditional. I do believe that many Filipinos are like me who are willing to volunteer time, effort, talent and whatever meager financial resources we have for Sen Noynoy's candidacy hoping that he will lead true reforms badly needed in our government. Concerned Filipinos ought to take the lead so as to avoid compromises that Sen Noynoy may be forced to accept or offered him.

Unity in the opposition is next to impossible. They are the same kind with those in the administration. Please, relay the call for Sen Noynoy to take a non-traditional approach in his quest to clinch the presidency this 2010 elections. Also, publish the ways or contact details of organizations that people like me can join to support his campaign.

Thank you.

Amen!!! Well said

i believe that noynoy will not win bec it is only the few once who gain power during cory s days. Binay, drilon, kamganak inc. are the once pushing him for them to be back on power. Noynoy has no guts to drive our country in progress. all he has is pa awa effect to the public. and by the way did you notice during noynoy declaration. kris baby james is within the picture. Where is josh? Isnt he the 3rd generation of aquinos and noynoy the 2nd generation. Josh for president. future phil president

if noynoy wins, it all comes from symphaty votes and everyone knows that sympathy votes does not guarantee a good leadership. masyadong nadala ng emotion ang ating mga kababayan nung pagyao ni dating pres. aquino. wag sana tayong pabigla-bigla to the point na gusto pa nating gawing santo si pres. cory...isip isip muna tayo. huwag padadala sa damdamin. imagine pati si kris aquino gusto nilang tumakbo, bakeeet?

It is too early to make predictions on who is a strong candidate, who will win, who will save our country from trapos and the like. It is best to weigh what is happening, discern what to do and seek God's intervention in our decision in choosing a righteous and God-fearing leader then let our voice be heard through our vote. Regards

Sa tingin ko, nagpakatotoo lang naman yon nagsabi na kailangan ng pera para tumakbo sa pagkapangulo. hindi naman masusubuk ang integridad ng pinuno sa dami ng kanyang pera. masusubok ang integridad ng pinuno kung paano na nya pinaikot ang pera sa ikagaganda ng bayan. sabi nga ni tina arena sa kanyang kanta "burn", be what you want to be bring life to your fantasy..." ang ibig ko sabihin, kung ang pulitiko nga na tulad ng pamilya aquino u just dont have the name to back up your wish to be the next president. you also have the the guts if you could fool the people about your wishes. sadly, hindi bat si kris eh, panay back up sa image ni noy noy aquino at ginagamit ang kanyang impluwensa para manalo ang kanyang kapatid? ang sunod na tanong, kung mayaman na ang mga aquino, mabubura ba talaga ni noynoy ang corruption sa bansa natin? e kung ang spain nga nanirahan sa Pilipinas ng 300 years eh magagawa ba nya ng agaran yon? ahmmm.... o baka naman ang mayaman lalo lang yumaman kapag nanalo si aquino? wag naman sana. lord, please help us choose the best leader who could change our ideosyncrasies. amen.

For 2010:
We have a presidential aspirant who was found guilty of plunder, pardoned, and now touted as a major contender. How come?

We have another presidential aspirant who likened himself to Rudy Giuliani who thought the progress of Makati is solely because of his own leadership; discounting the help of the moguls or owning their success.

We have presidential aspirants who out of a selfish personal ambition took a pinhole of opportunity and made it a sea-sized arena for publicity to either strengthen himself or destroy another. While the incumbents are now just busy collecting goods for the rainy days while they still can. They have a few months left.

With Noynoy's candidacy the difference between a politician and a genuine leader seemed to have become more evident. It is self-evident. He did not see himself, at first, a contender nor wanted it. But an invisible and inevitable force of overflowing support made his decision not a fruit of a political dream; not of career or fame; certainly not for money. His is plain submission and not a run for the money or position. A leader who is guided by this solemn kind of call for leadership is the one kind who took himself out of the picture for the good of all. This is one kind of leader who decides on complex issues based on morality, by contemplating on what’s good for the country. After all, politics does not refer to a government position, but a means to determine, discuss, and decide what is best for the country.

Some say Noynoy is not a strong leader. But they say it because he likes to consult people. If that is going to be their strongest argument, my answer for them is this:

Between a leader with good moral character and a simply ambitious politician - I choose the one with good moral character and upbringing. Simply because an ambitious politician has only money to lose, and therefore only has money in mind to gain. Noynoy has the lives of his parents dedicated to love of country, and lost to politicians who are just like the many who are seeking the same position and power. Even if they contest that he is now running for president simply because he can’t say no, it is one tough decision to say yes. He is one who kneeled before God in response for the people’s call, and therefore he can stand before anyone. At that point – he sealed his candidacy with no less than a clean, divine conviction. Nothing less than this is what our country needs.

Sir Harvey S. Keh, I agree with your comments regarding to a certain columnist article stating that those who do not have money will not win in electons..maybe in the past but not in this era. Filipino electorate are getting fed-up with traditional politicians and to such columnist which to my mind may have already been infected by the viruses of traditional politics in our country. I just hope that when my children became adults, we already have a better society. Presently, as Investigator in one of the GOCC, I am fighting corruption in my own little way and to the best that I could although its really...really tough coz corruption in government is seemingly already a WAY OF LIFE.

incourage all pinoy all over the world to mail in a token donations to noy campaign fund and inform them where to mail in or remit the the token donations.
$5 to $20 will help noy a lot.

The position of the Presidency of the country should be earned not inherited.
