A rabid Noynoyista recently ribbed me for not updating this blog. His/her comment would have been innocent enough had it not been for his/her amateur attempt at black propaganda. This commenter basically wanted to tell the other readers of this blog who happen to support other candidates to just accept what he/she thinks is the inevitable victory of Senator Noynoy Aquino.
I don’t know about everyone else, but as far as I’m concerned it ain’t over till it’s over. And, no Mr./Ms. Commenter, Noynoy’s victory is not yet a certainty. It is just one of many possibilities.
Speaking of the Aquino campaign, I’m really wondering what his supporters expect from him in case he does bcome our President. As far those people in his inner circle, well, that should be obvious. They’re in it for the juicy government portfolios and other perks. How about the ordinary folks who profess to love him like he was some kind of messiah? It seems to me they’re in it for the fantasy. A better Philippines under an Aquino administration? That makes the Lord of the Rings more real to me.
incidentally, I was at one of the BIR offices last week and I got to talk to one of the examiners there. Out of the blue he mentioned that he and most of his co-workers are for Aquino. I asked why. He gave me a cryptic response.
“Basta,” he said.
I wondered about that piece of information. I tried to imagine what possible reason a BIR examiner could possibly have to support Noynoy who has been playing the role of an anti-corruption crusader. Hmmm. BIR personnel supporting a candidate who claims he will put a stop to government corruption… it just doesn’t match up. Is the end of the world upon us?
I reflected on his cryptic response. After about 10 seconds of deep thought, it came to me. I realized what should have been obvious to me from the very start.
Those BIR personnel aren’t supporting Noynoy because of what he claim he can and will do to ensure corruption-free governance. They’re going for Noynoy because they know he will not be able to do anything to stop the shenanigans going on at this esteemed government agency. In short, they’re putting their faith on Noynoy’s incompetence.
I don’t know about you but I think this is a sign of things to come should the greater number of Filipino voters think it wise to put Noynoy at the helm of our already troubled nation.
Ahhhh…. A great post BP.

I agree on the logic that all those who want to exercise their control will choose Noynoy.
He has the persona not to be taken seriously by the garapals working in any branch of government.

Now, you’re already convinced that I’m correct with my decision to vote for Noynoy. He’s the winner which most people like. This is the voice of the people, and this is what God wants to be.
At the end the truth will prevail, that Noynoy is the right choice!

jansen,
eh? of course you’re correct. that was your choice. whether you chose correctly fr the country, now that’s another matter.
stop it with the vox populi crap. God has nothing to do with this stupidity. Aquino and Estrada in the top 2 spots? i hope you see the obbvious pattern here.
in any case, congratulations to your candidate and to you. We will wait and see what he can do for this country. I hope you’re ready for whatever that will be.

jansen has been to AntiPinoy, OhNoy!, and now BP?
Her only argument for supporting Noynoy is the bandwagon fallacy crap. Bansa ng mga duwag.

jansen,
cool ka lang. as has been repeatedly said here kung si noynoy eh di si noynoy. just be sure to know that we will hold him accountable. you should too because you voted for him.
anyway relax lang.
I absolutely adore this post! Hahaha.
“Aquino and Estrada in the top 2 spots? i hope you see the obbvious pattern here.” My sentiments, exactly.

I couldn’t agree more. As far as presidential voting is concerned, I only lost twice: In 1998, Erap won; for 2010, Noynoy won. We already knew what happened to Erap. I wonder what will happen to Noynoy in the coming years or even months. What a pattern, indeed!
