I have come to the conclusion that there are three types of Noynoy supporters. The first one is the typical fan who got into this yellow fever thing because of the bandwagon effect. These supporters include those who fall for anything considered in fashion. It won’t be surprising to know that most of them were [...] Read more »
For Da Pinoy Voter
Now this is a big surprise. ABS-CBN’s Harapan: The Tandem Presidential Debate has been canceled. The surprising and unexpected reason: several candidates for president and vice president have either backed out or declined to participate. This is shocking news. Who would have thought that the likes of Senators Noynoy Aquino, Manny Villar and their equally [...] Read more »
Gut Feel All Over Again
Now this is strange. A new survey by Pulse Asia shows that of all the presidential candidates Senator Manny Villar enjoys the trust of more Filipinos. It shows Senator Noynoy Aquino only at second place. Here’s an excerpt from an abs-cbnnews.com report. The January 22-26 survey showed that 70% of Filipinos had much trust for [...] Read more »
Survey Drop Due To Unholy Alliance?
Misplaced pride is clearly Senator Noynoy Aquino’s sin. A few glaring things bear this out. First of all, just like former President Joseph Estrada, he can’t admit to himself that he doesn’t have what it takes to lead a Third World country in dire need of progress. An underachiever in Congress, Aquino hardly qualifies as [...] Read more »
Yes, Please Resign
Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago continues to be a wellspring of quotable quotes. Yesterday she dished out yet another one that I find really interesting. She said: “Eh kasi nakakainis eh… Eh…insultuhan ng insultuhan tungkol sa bagay pampulitika at kokonti na lang panahon namin…” “Lahat na kami mag-resign kung ganyan rin lang palang mag-away away kami [...] Read more »
A Commenter’s Appeal To All Voters
I got a rather long but very helpful comment from a certain “Sony.” I’ve decided to give it it’s own space. Here it is. Submitted on 2010/01/15 at 7:47pm Dear Friends, Election time is here again. Many of you will shrug this off as another of those futile exercise that we as a dysfunctional nation [...] Read more »
Narrow-minded much?
Here’s a photo being circulated through Twitter. It shows Senator Noynoy Aquino with some students who appear to be supporters of Senator Manny Villar. (Funny how people’s political affiliations are now all color coded.) Well, as can be expected Noynoy’s followers are jumping on the opportunity to turn this into another viral crap. Good thing [...] Read more »
Villar and Victim Mentality
Senator Manny Villar is making a big deal out of his much-vaunted humble beginnings. Through his latest campaign jingle, this country’s wealthiest lawmaker hopes to cement his hold on the pro-poor branding. Check out the lyrics of that jingle. Naging Mahirap Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura? Nag-Pasko ka na ba sa gitna [...] Read more »
Ho-hum… Villar cuts Noynoy’s lead in survey
But regardless of whether or not surveys do or do not influence how people vote, what is clear to me is that electing a leader means choosing the person with the best qualifications for a position and that involves examining a candidate's worthiness based on a criteria. Of course, the criteria by itself will not do you any good unless you get to know as much as you can about the other candidates. Read more »
