Kahit kay Villar siguro olats yan kung hindi taga-ABSCBN ang moderator eh.

Crude oil itself was formed after millions of years from carbon-based fossils of living organisms, so there is an advantage in not having to wait for the earth to process fuel sources for such long periods of time.

There is a professor in UC-Davis whose engine runs on used cooking oil. You can tell he’s been around when it starts to smell like fries

that’s the problem. many people still believe in “multo” and in this case the multo is pgma. it doesn’t help that the noynoyistas are making anti-pgma their battlecry. they don’t seem to realize that this may be a problem for them should noynoy win. kung puro sila pgma ngayon ano na gagawin nila pag wala na si pgma? i haven’t seen a decent platform worth scrutinizing from noynoy’s camp. buti sana kung may track record to fall back on kaso wala.

the way i see it, gibo is a better choice than noynoy.

thanks for this.

The first step to getting inside the mind of a man is to observe his personality/behavior/attitude. The second step is to get to know the environment he grew up in.

I couldn’t figure out the 1st since I personally don’t know the guy. Never saw him in person either. However, based on the 2nd step, if you researched as i did, we would both know that this guy is in the middle of a family feud within the clan.

He is a nephew of Eduardo Cojuangco Jr., chair of San Miguel Corporation, and 2nd cousin of Benigno Aquino III, one of the presidential aspirants in this poll.

Eduardo’s and Benigno’s families have always been at odds with one another for many reasons i wouldn’t start to care. However, from what is gathered, Eduardo Cojuangco is branded as a Marcos crony and therefore “corrupt”. Not surprising since there were theories that the source of the Cojuangco wealth is not so honorable. This makes the entire clan supposedly untrustworthy.

You might say, give this guy a chance. Okay, so give him this chance. It’s only the Institution of the Presidency we’re talking about here, nothing so important, right? If we make a mistake, Filipinos can always wait for six (6) f**king years to make another mistake.

Oh, by the way, He’s the son of former Social Security System administrator Gilberto Teodoro, Sr. and former Batasang Pambansa member Mercedes Cojuangco-Teodoro. The Social Security System and Batasang Pambansa were both tarnished with corruption.

RICHARD GORDON

Richard Gordon, like his running mate, Bayani Fernando, is a very practical person. The typical Filipino with his emotional carefree attitude would find his character to be somewhat “big bully” and “tyrannical” due to his no-nonsense approach to solving a problem.

To this candidate, solving a problem is more important than how the population feels about the method. To an emotional carefree population, you will probably agree that this personality is political suicide. However, based on his record, this guy seems to be solving the problems in spite of what people say.

From what is gathered, Gordon began his political career as mayor of Olongapo City, the purported “Sin City” of the Philippines. Critics say he did little to solve the “prostitution problem” but did agree that he was able to improve the city’s economic level.

Personally speaking, I understand why conservative people would react to prostitution as being acceptable. Well, that’s only them speaking. If you surveyed the entire Philippine population, you would probably be surprised how liberated the majority of Filipinos are.

(Filipinos, by nature, are sensuous, emotional, and overly courteous, which explains why they give way to the hypocrisy of the fundamentalist, puritanical, and conservative upbringing their country gives. This also explains why Filipinos are sexy inside but are afraid to show it.)

Going back to the P word, here’s an example: The metropolitan areas of the Clark and Washoe Counties in Nevada, USA would have stunted their growth if it were not for the adult entertainment industries provided by Las Vegas (Clark Co.) and Reno (Washoe Co.).

Here’s something to note: Prostitution in Nevada is legal but regulated within the designated “red light district’ night clubs. Prostitution in London, England is also legal but only if done outside of designated “red light district’ night clubs. This means that you and Mr/Ms adult entertainer should do it inside the clubs in Nevada but should do it in your home or motel in London.

Where am I going with this? Well, we always view prostitution as something bad and, as such, we don’t see people working in this trade as “professionals”. Moreover, these “professionals” are too afraid and ashamed to ply their trade but do so anyway because of need. On the other hand, we see rotten politicians in broad daylight – unafraid and unashamed – and they still get to be considered as “professionals”. Who would you prefer to work besides with? An adult entertainer who would work honestly and pay due taxes promptly if demanded of them? Or rotten politicians who are not honest, who steal taxpayers’ money, and expect that you vote for them next season?

Going back to Richard Gordon, it is refreshing to remember that the former president Ejercito Estrada is one of the senators who led the vote against the retention of the US Bases in the Philippines, which led to 40,000 Filipinos losing their jobs outright, increased the boldness of local rebel groups and terrorists, and destabilized the safety of the country from encroachment by other countries. Well, the Americans left anyway, and the Philippines was also left with the mess made by these senators as well as the after effects of Mt. Pinatubo.

It’s interesting to note that this “bully”, in the form of Richard Gordon, spearheaded the solution to the problems following the American exodus. The solutions may have not been all his own concepts, but he was the guy who facilitated them all together.

So there’s your choice… Do you want a good-looking president with a questionable family and track record who promises his heart out to you? Or do you want a “bully” who could help facilitate the solutions to your problems?

EDDIE VILLANUEVA

From what I last gathered, the Republic of the Philippines is still a democracy in which Church and State are separate. Eddie Villanueva may be an honest, uncorrupted, and “Christian” candidate, but his status as leader of a religious congregation is, to my personal opinion, not compatible with the Separation of Church and State clause.

The reason for separating Church and State is very evident in history. If you’re a student of history, you would remember that the times the Church and State worked as a single mind, worldwide catastrophes happened like terrorism today and the Crusades centuries before.

Simply put, Church and State cannot be a single mind, for all our sakes.

MANUEL VILLAR

If I’m not mistaken, there was a recent scandal on the Philippines’ C-5 Road Extension Project. Isn’t this guy in the middle of it all? If this person wins the election, the Philippines is truly a nation of monkeys and fools.

BENIGNO SIMEON AQUINO III

On the other hand Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is the son of the “Great Filipino Hero and Martyr”, Ninoy Aquino and the “untarnished” and first female president of the Philippines, Corazon Aquino as well as brother to Philippine celebrity, Kris Aquino. Aside from being the son or brother of well-known people, I haven’t’ read anything else this guy was famous for.

Are you going to gamble your vote on this nobody/loser?

JOHN CARLOS DELOS REYES

He’s a nephew of Richard Gordon. Practically speaking, i don’t understand why he’s running against his uncle in the presidentiable elections. His uncle is highly experienced in serving the country. From what i gathered, he only has his city councilor experience and guts to back him up in his campaign. In this online poll he’s able to gather 1% at least. Imagine if he just supported his uncle as city councilor or mayor or Zambales district representative/congessman, this 1% could aid his uncle for president and aid him in his young career as well. He’s better off winning as mayor instead of president. Frankly speaking, either he has a personal grudge against his uncle (gone too far) or he’s a young idealist fool (not all idealists are fools, but this one is). Potentially, he may prove to be a good leader, but he’s making the wrong steps.

THE OTHERS ARE NOT WORTH MENTIONING…

Gibo is all we need. he is young and dynamic. he can relate and is sensitive to the needs of the youths.Mabuhay si Gibo.

i’m no fan of manny villar, but i don’t think there’s anything shocking about the possibility that villar used himself as a dummy for a foreign entity as you say. if it were true, it only shows that he saw an opportunity and he grabbed it which is quite consistent with his being a businessman.

the way i see it what you said highlights more the need to change our constitution in such a way that foreign entities would be able to set up businesses here without having to resort to using dummies.
