I’m going for Noynoy Aquino, and here’s why…

Posted: March 28th, 2010 | Author: Arnold | Filed under: Politics | Tags: , | View Comments

Before I explain why I’m voting for Noynoy, let me lay the groundwork:

I don’t believe in the common and perhaps the most attractive promise of a number of candidates: that if they will be elected, they will solve the problem of poverty. I simply think that 6 years are not enough to solve this issue. A lot of ground work have to be made. A lot of changes have to be implemented so we can start solving poverty.

I also don’t believe that a single candidate can solve our problems. A lot of our candidates promises insane things as if they are super human. We also think that if one is a successful businessman, or has passed bills in congress, or has executive experience, he can solve the problems we’re facing. They may solve some of the problems, but NOT the main problem…

* * *

I think that our main problem right now is TRUST or the lack of. For the past 12 years, the government lost it. The people are simply uninspired. They would rather live somewhere else than here. They lost hope. They don’t trust the government anymore.

Corruption right and left. Unresolved issues here and there. We just don’t believe anything the government says anymore. We even doubt the smallest and simplest thing they say.

The programs cannot be properly discharge without trust. Investors cannot come in without trust. The workforce will not stay without trust.

How do we bring back trust in the government?

We need a leader who:

  • Is credible, without any sort of baggage or links on corruption
  • Can inspire people to be at their best
  • Can unite a broken nation

This, in my opinion, is what we need for 2010. If this can be fixed, the foundation will have been set for us to become a great nation again.

WHY NOYNOY AQUINO?

Noynoy isn’t a superman. In fact, he is not his father who can deliver a powerful speech. He is not his mother who has the charisma to persuade.

But I believe that Noynoy is the most credible candidate. Someone that we can trust. He doesn’t have the baggage of corruption issues that others have. He doesn’t have the baggage of being linked to the most distrusted administration. Its as if — if he is elected, we can rest in the evening knowing that he’s doing his job and not stealing our money.

Noynoy is also blessed with being the son of our national heros Ninoy and Cory Aquino. You simply cannot disregard that fact. And by that, he has the ability and the popularity to unite this broken nation again. And while I do believe that he cannot solve all the problems that we have right now, if he is going to bring trust to our government and unite our people, he has paved the way to our nation’s future greatness.

What I like best of Noynoy is simply the fact that he is not a know-it-all guy. He doesn’t claim to know all the solutions. And he’s pretty honest about it. Rather, he always aims to empower. As a leader of a small organization myself, I know how important empowerment to people is. His mother, President Cory, was known to doing this. That’s where he must have gotten that value. I believe that the government doesn’t hold all the solutions to our problems. We are a democratic nation. The power lies in the hands of the people. What the government leadership has to do is to empower our people to do what they can do best to fight poverty and serve our nation.

As of March 28, I’m voting for Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas. It’s very unlikely that this is going to change until May 10, 2010.

Noynoy Aquino - empowering the people

    As a Project Development Specialist and Community Organizer for more than twenty years, I have been living, dining and eating with people in the rural areas and the fisher folks. Cynicism crept all over these people because they lost their trust in the government.

    I agree 100% with the personal opinion of this writer that we need someone who can inspire, motivate and empower people to restore their trust to the government. Who can motivate government servants to bring back decency in government service. One who is being loved because of his honesty, humility and sincerity. One who has not shown lust for power but thrusts into accepting the challenge to unite this broken nation because of overwhelming public clamor. I see Noynoy as HALF-FULL not Half-empty.

    Corruption in the Philippines is HOPELESS CASE. I was there when Cory Aquino took power. I was one among the millions who hoped corruption will be eradicated. We all thought now we will progress because Marcos is gone. Cory the very religous woman that we know will start a government free of corruption. She had all the chances to prove to the world that Filipinos are not corrupt and that we can be proud of ourselves to be Filpinos. It NEVER happened.

    I agree that indeed corruption is the number one problem in our country. Becuase we have inherited that from whoever I dont think no one can ever solve that problem. Corruption will ALWAYS be there.If ever there would be one, although this is just in dreamnland, he or she will get assasinated. Not even the religous groups that are now aspiring to be leaders can solve it. So the next question now would be who among the candidates have the credentials to aleviate the lives of the poor? The rich candidate who never experienced to be poor or somebody who know how it is to eat just once or twice a day?

    That unfortunately is not for me to decide but rather our dear countrymen who are going to vote this coming May election.

    Hi Jun,

    Notice I never said that corruption is the main problem of the country that needs to be solved. While it is indeed a great problem, I focused on bringing TRUST to the government. Yes, corruption is one of the main reasons why trust was lost, but also don't think that it can be solved in 6 short years.

    But I am being a realist. All we need is to bring trust to the government, inspire and empower the people. That is feasible within 6 years. If the new president can do that, then we're on our way to greatness.

    Jun, let's start with somebody who is not corrupt. Or you might argue (which I'd entertain for the sake of philosophical brinkmanship) that everyone is corrupt at certain degrees, then i'll say somebody who is not blatantly corrupt. That somehow puts Noynoy head and shoulders above the realistic contenders.

    To be fair, Bro. Eddie also has no issues of corruption. But, compared to Noynoy, he has very little chance of uniting our country.

    Hi All,

    I appreciate your discussions on the upcoming election. You have mentioned that we need a leader who is not corrupt or a person who has no issues on corruption. I would like you also to consider GIBO as person who for me might be a bearer of corrupt administration, but a person with dignity. I am hoping that we will not judge a person by the persons who sorround him but by his competence to lead our country. God bless us all

    Captain, problem with Gibo is exactly what you just mentioned — the people surrounding him are the same people that failed our country big time. He may have a good heart, but because of this, gaining the trust of the people will be an uphill battle for him. That, in my opinion, is not good to start with.

    People who say corruption is HOPELESS are themselves hopeless. Change can happen if we work for it. If we say it is hopeless, well then, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think the Filipino spirit is much stronger than that.

    * Is credible, without any sort of baggage or links on corruption
    * Can inspire people to be at their best
    * Can unite a broken nation

    Noynoy on Credibility
    How can you say that he is the most credible, most trustworthy and one who was not linked to any issue on corruption or with the most distrusted administration when in fact:

    a) he has not proven anything yet to be credible (as you describe him)
    b) he is involved in the so-called Kamaganak Inc. and it's 'acquired' riches
    c) he was one of the people who voted, and this was documented, not to play the Garci tapes
    d) he was, as part owner of Hacienda Luicita, involved in the killings of the poor farmers, the controversial ownership of Hacienda Luisita and the SCTEX corruption issue.

    Noynoy as an Inspiration to Unite a broken nation
    You mentioned that he was the son of the national heroes Ninoy and Cory. But how was being their son GAVE HIM the ABILITY to unite the people? Is that ability hereditary? It is through experience one manages to unite a group of people, and not just being a son of a national hero. The way you phrased it makes him as JUST the shadow of his parents, unable to make his own mark.

    Being inspired is being moved by the person, his works, his personality, his vision for the country. The fact that he is using his parent's legacy to his advantage, how was he inspirational as an individual? What has he done to draw the best out of the people? What makes you think that he is actually inspiring, and not corrupting the minds of the people with the way he campaigns? On a lighter note, I wouldn't argue with your statement that Noynoy is not a know-it-all. In fact, others may say that he doesn't know anything at all.

    I agree that the government doesn't have all the solutions to our problem. The Filipino people must learn how to grow as individuals for us to grow as a nation. Yes, it is important to have a leader who is credible, inspirational and can unite the Filipino people. But we also need someone who can provide a sustainable development, our tipping point to success and a transforming difference.

    No matter how hard his enemies try to break him, the truth will always prevail and no amount of false accusations or controversies can stop the Filipino people from having him as a leader.

    (continued from the previous comment)

    "You mentioned that he was the son of the national heroes Ninoy and Cory. But how was being their son GAVE HIM the ABILITY to unite the people?"

    "…how *does* being their son *give* him the ability to unite the people" is probably what you wanted to ask. Although the simplistic view "noble son of noble parents cannot do wrong" does hold some water, there is a much deeper aspect to this. Noynoy, as the son of Ninoy, witnessed first-hand what the horrors of Martial Law were. Noynoy, as the son of Cory, witnessed first-hand what a struggle it was, and continues to be, to restore and maintain democracy in the Philippines. This is a perspective unique to Noynoy that no other candidate can claim.

    "The fact that he is using his parent's legacy to his advantage, how was he inspirational as an individual?"

    As has been often sad, it is not his fault that he happens to be the son of Ninoy and Cory. But more to point, the view that Noynoy is "using his parents' legacy to his advantage" is a myopic view, focused only on the campaign. Far from simply riding a wave of emotion and nostalgia, Noynoy's reference to his parent's legacies is not just campaign talk: it is a promise that, as their son, he will continue their unfinished fight. This is a huge statement to make, precisely taking into consideration whose legacies we talk about. It is also a huge burden on Noynoy's part to fulfill this promise if elected into office, as surely Ninoy's and Cory's supporters, as Noynoy's supporters also, will hold him to this promise.

    Villar, on the other hand, has no such indebtedness to the Filipino people. Indeed, the only indebtedness he ever had was financial, which he paid off with government loans he shouldn't have even been allowed to obtain as Congressman. "Tapusin ang Kahirapan" has been Villar's mantra ever since, and yet why is it that squatter communities and run-down subdivisions continue to flourish in Las Pinas?

    "On a lighter note, I wouldn't argue with your statement that Noynoy is not a know-it-all. In fact, others may say that he doesn't know anything at all. "

    If by "others" you mean the NP, then yeah, they do have a habit of saying that. Notwithstanding the usual remarks, you have to hear Noynoy speak in person to know that this is entirely false.

    I'm sure that Villar knows plenty. It does, after all, take a lot of knowledge and know-how to defraud Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas of P1.5 BILLION pesos, steal farmlands and divert public funds for what is essentially a private service road traversing Villar's subdivisions.

    "…we also need someone who can provide a sustainable development, our tipping point to success and a transforming difference."

    At what point has Villar shown that he is capable of encouraging "sustainable development" and providing a "transforming difference," aside from converting illegally-obtained farmlands into subdivisions (which is not "sustainable development" by definition), and transforming his millions into billions? And what capability has Villar shown to create a tipping point to success, apart from his own?

    "No matter how hard his enemies try to break him, the truth will always prevail and no amount of false accusations or controversies can stop the Filipino people from having him as a leader."

    The truth WILL prevail, and I suspect that this is what Manny Villar fears the most: the truth that those supposed "false accusations or controversies" are, in fact, factual accusations and controversies.

    "I VOTE VILLAR "

    And so God help you.

    @Miguel, thank you for laying out so neatly the demolition job that Noynoy detractors have been using to try to smear Noynoy's campaign. Allow me to debunk those one by one. And since you also explicitly mentioned Manny Villar, allow me also to provide a rejoinder and show you how every single point brought against Noynoy applies even more heavily on Villar.

    "a) he has not proven anything yet to be credible (as you describe him)"

    To be fair, "credibility" is subjective. Speaking for myself, when I describe someone as credible, I refer to the person's honest character and his ability to make unpopular decisions for the benefit of the people (e.g. Noynoy's stance on the Reproductive Health Bill). I refer to his ability to have "utang na loob" to the Filipino people who supported his father and his mother, and to the people from the Liberal Party who set aside their political aspirations to have him run for President.

    Manny Villar, for all his work in government, has never shown credibility. Sure, I was awed when he railroaded Erap's impeachment, but in hindsight, it was all an engineered effort to cement his name in Philippine politics and to prop up his "opposition" image. Even in his own ads, he cannot tell the whole truth: that far from being poor, he came from a merchant class family who could afford more than simply a decent level of living; that far from having died from lack of money, his brother died from leukemia, which at the time was incurable; that far from being opposition, he had sought the support of administration Senators when his Senate President position was in jeopardy, and continues to enjoy support from administration senators in the C-5 controversy.

    "b) he is involved in the so-called Kamaganak Inc. and it's 'acquired' riches"

    How, exactly, is he involved? It's easy to claim involvement simply because of family ties, but the reality is that there is no proof that Noynoy had ever actively participated in any efforts of his relatives to increase their own wealth. If anything else, just look at Noynoy's SALN from the late 90's to today, and see how little his net worth has grown, little more than 65% over a decade.

    Compare this to Villar, whose net worth exploded by well over 2000% over the past decade. "Acquired riches" indeed.

    "c) he was one of the people who voted, and this was documented, not to play the Garci tapes"

    So, it never occurred to you that the Garci tapes, however damning, were illegally obtained and cannot be admitted as evidence in any legal proceeding, including a House investigative hearing? And by implication, are you saying that Villar would have definitely voted to hear the tapes?

    But let's not speculate on "what ifs," lets look at what has actually happened. Villar has made it a point to advertise that under his watch, the Fertilizer Fund Scam and the ZTE boradband deals were investigated. True. Yet what happened to these "investigations?" When Sen. Gordon was about to present his committee findings on the ZTE issue, Villar and company were nowhere to be found, having boycotted that session. And the Fertilizer Fund Scam? Not only is Jocelyn Bolante a free man, he is running for governor of Capiz under Villar's Nacionalista Party. So, in terms of results, Villar would be, what, 0-2?

    "d) he was, as part owner of Hacienda Luicita, involved in the killings of the poor farmers, the controversial ownership of Hacienda Luisita and the SCTEX corruption issue. "

    Again with the word "involved." Simple ownership doesn't equate to culpable liability of casualties when striking farm workers clash with police and military. Or perhaps you know better than the court of law that dismissed the charges against Cory?

    There is nothing controversial about the ownership of the Hacienda apart from what Noynoy's detractors make it to appear. The farmer beneficiaries own 33% of the entire Hacienda. Noynoy owns 0.6%.

    Compare this to the two major landgrabbing cases brought forth against Manny Villar in Laguna and in Bulacan. It is ironic that, while Villar's camp continues to make an issue about the farm workers at HL, Villar himself grabbed land away from the the Norzagaray farmers. It's a case of the kettle calling the china black.

    As for the SCTEX issue, this is again a fictitious issue forced by Cong. Remulla, NP spokesperson and all-around Villar stooge, to divert attention away from the C-5 issue.

    At what point has Villar shown that he is capable of encouraging "sustainable development" and providing a "transforming difference," aside from converting illegally-obtained farmlands into subdivisions (which is not "sustainable development" by definition), and transforming his millions into billions? And what capability has Villar shown to create a tipping point to success, apart from his own?

    "No matter how hard his enemies try to break him, the truth will always prevail and no amount of false accusations or controversies can stop the Filipino people from having him as a leader."

    The truth WILL prevail, and I suspect that this is what Manny Villar fears the most: the truth that those supposed "false accusations or controversies" are, in fact, factual accusations and controversies.

    "I VOTE VILLAR "

    And so God help you.

    VILLAR lied about his past. specifically about being dirt poor. it just shows how VILLAR is as a person. hindi niyo dapat binabaliwala ang mga ganung bagay. it just goes to show what VILLAR is as a person and what he will do just to be in power. he’ll lie and try to win your vote with his “paawa” stories. i know VILLAR is smart. UP eh. pero you don’t have to be the smartest person to be the president, you just have to make smart choices and decisions. our government lost the trust of the filipino people. i believe NOYNOY will bring back that trust. and hindi naten pwedeng ibaliwala na his parents are Ninoy and Cory. SHOW SOME RESPECT. they are our heroes. im not saying he’s like Ninoy and Cory pero it will give you an idea of what values his parents have instilled in him.

    Thank you, Arnold, for posting this. This made me somehow change my mind. Seriously, I was not even considering the idea of voting for Noynoy at all — and he's not even second on my list!

    I am not saying I'll be voting for him come May 10, but after reading this, it makes me think he really is what this country needs. God help me decide! I still have plenty of time. :)

    Go anyone but noynoy! how can anyone be credible if he haven't proved his worth? this is disrespecful but it is same as sayin "napansin ako dahil pumanaw ang nany ko" , what if she's still alive right now? He has not in anyway proved his capability to hold the Top spot! look at his resume…. may laman po ba? sa ilang taon niya sa senado? Let's all blame this to "pagkakataon" nagkataon siya ang Aquino nasa politics, nag kataon pumanaw si Madame in time for the election, nagkataon na kapatid sa ng one of the countries biggest endorser, nagkataon hindi patok si Mar as president, nagkataon na may Villar issue, nagkataon wala pa siyang nagagawa kaya wala pang ibang masabi sa kanya…..Are we all just going to pretend that this is all make a credible man? because of lack of experience, pag ganyan na ang lakaran sa bayan na eto eh di sana lahat na lang ng walang experience pwedeng tumakbo at sabihing credible sila. …. I am sorry guys, but this is too much for you para i-justify ang pagkakaroon ng credibility ng isang tao walang laman ang resume! at dahil lang NAGKATAON>>>sheeshh….. paniwalain natin ang mga sarili natin … I Still GO FOR ANYONE EXCEPT HIM……

    Will somebody tell something about this Gilbert Remulla. Sobrang mayabang. Sobrang sinungaling. I thought for once that he was a fighter for truth and that public interest was in his mind. He is dangerous if elected senator. I pray that he'd lose in this election. Enough of a leader like him.

    Noynoy has been collecting his salary for 12 years, without producing anything. Technically, when you take something without giving back anything in return, that's cheating. Corruption yan…

    Ano ang kaibahan niyan sa 15/30 ghost employees? Being merely present doesn't make him deserving of his salary…

    arnold, noynoy may be 'clean' and bound to be 'good' because of his parents' legacy but we need more than that. our people have lost their trust in the government because we have allowed the government to fool us. we've elected time and again past presidents who have been 'molded' to fit our perceived 'ideal'. sadly, this is happening again with noynoy.. i have nothing against him per se, apart from the fact that he does not have ANY track record as a legislator.. my discontent and anxiety comes mainly from his being surrounded by dubious institutions and personalities, who have different agenda and vested interests. look at his party line up, my goodness.. he is weak. and this is obvious. i worry that he will not be able to stand his ground when these sharks swarm all around him eventually…
    the kind of government we need now is one which will be able to instill discipline and a sense of urgency. we're spiraling down into abject doom(as what one foreign dignitary told me once)
    to build trust, this boils down to effective leadership..we need audacity and tenacity and political will. and among all those running, only one has the capacity to actually LEAD us to PROGRESS. with previous accomplishments showing TANGIBLE RESULTS. this is no longer a time for us to choose 'the lesser evil'… we need to MOVE and WORK together with the BEST.. it's time.
    credibility— diplomats, expats, international institutions LOOK UP TO to this senator, all of them think HE IS THE MOST QUALIFIED TO DO THE JOB.
    can inspire people— when the US bases left and Pinatubo erupted, who rallied his people to FIGHT ON?
    can unite a broken nation— who put our country in the map again, promoting TOURISM amidst the turmoil and chaos of that time?
    a natural cheer leader, a motivator and a real action man. no bias, no bs. just pure passion and dedication for true love of country… PLEASE re-think your choice. i'll vote for DICK GORDON.

    Okay, we really need a credible leader, no question about that. The question is: Who among our candidates is the most credible? Another is, we need a president who can unite our country. Question is: Who among them can unite our country?
    Noynoy says, "Hindi ako magnanakaw!" For me, this simply shows that Noynoy simply do not know what our problem is. Our problem is not only for a president not to steal, but to eradicate corruption in government. I don't believe we can eradicate corruption in government simply by setting an example.
    Villar says, "Tatapusin ko ang kahirapan? Ibig ba niya sabihin, pag siya ang naging pangulo, kahit hindi na tayo magtrabaho, malulutas niyang mag-isa ang kahirapan?
    Kailangan natin ang Gordon-Fernando tandem, kasi pareho nilang naipakita sa kani-kanilang lugar ang kanilang kakayahang pagkaisahin ang mga mamamayan sa pagsunod sa batas tungo sa pag-unlad!

    -a vision to see this country in a big picture
    -a mission to not just utter the things that needs to be done but has the strong will to do it….
    -a visible and possible platform,
    -transparency on their Statement of Assets,Liabilities and Net worth.-jan mo mkikita kung corrupt sya.
    -a strong vision for his people and a clear strategy on how to get them there
    -made change and changed for the better.
    -brought dignity and hope to his people and has motivated and inspired others to go in the right direction.
    -challenged to brought a place of once called a sin city,lava area out of the darkness and into the light and became model cities of now.
    -the will to still encourage investors,-local or foreign despite negative feed backs of our country to their countries.
    -a heart on philanthropic works.-you wont help others if u don't have a heart like Jesus. and this is what he loves to do.
    -no fear to join on debates to prove that he has nothing to hide and he let the people question him and satisfy their queries about him.

    Villar may have a true to life rags to riches story, and yes, he may be a good entrepreneur. But we are looking for a leader who will lead us to the promised land. He have not shown his determination and political will for the real improvement of his local community. And that is to reform not only the physical transformation of his local community, but more so, its moral transformation for his constituents to obey the law and contribute to the welfare of his community. What he have shown throughout his political life is his true will and determination to go up the ladder in our political landscape for his ultimate goal of being the president of the Philippines! Yes, to be a president, is a noble intention! But he alone knows his true and real intentions, as I plead, if ever he becomes president, not to replicate in our country his performance, in being a leader of his local community!

    I believe Pinoy author Bob Ong summed it up the best when he said “Di ako interesado sa may magandang hangarin para sa bansa; mas importante yung marami nang magandang nagawa.”

    In these challenging and uncertain times, we need more than simply someone who will promise "hindi ako magnanakaw". The next president should also be an experienced leader, someone who understands the economy plus many other important matters.

    Thats why I'm voting for Gordon. He has the experience to show he can be effective. I'm not willing to tke a risk with Noynoy who hasnt proven much during his terms at both the Congress and the Senate.

    I completely agree. But I a disagree that NOYNOY has this qualities. If you have not shown results in public service, you cannot be called credible. If you have no corruption links but has not done anything, you can also be called corrupt because he is being compensated for it.

    NOYNOY can't also inspire a nation being a son of both heroes as you have mentioned. Honestly, he does not inspire me. He has no passion in public service, how can anyone who has no passion can fire up people to move.

    Therefore, NOYNOY cannot unite us. like what CORY did years ago.

    Dick Gordon has all the qualities you have been mentioning in your blog. His life story is his campaign slogan. Therefore I invite you to share this passion with us promoting Dick Gordon.

    I believe that you can make a good decision on May 10, 2010. I believe in you. God bless

    you say, We need a leader who:

    * Is credible, without any sort of baggage or links on corruption
    * Can inspire people to be at their best
    * Can unite a broken nation

    We must have an open mind. We still have time to think and compare all the pros and cons of the candidates. we must not fail now, most specially with the internet, we have every available means to ponder and exchange ideas fast. All of us, must have an open mind. let us convince each other so we may vote as one, for one good candidate, whoever he may be! The only thing that the Gordon-Fernando tandem does not have is the political machinery needed to wage a successful campaign. But what are we doing right now? can't we start for a change and support the Gordon-Fernando tandem! who is your candidate? why are you supporting your candidate? can he deliver?

    Sorry to say, that this has been happening since Pres. Cory Aquino was seated!
    I would personally know, because some of my relatives benefited from this transactional form of politics!

    And that's precisely why I'm not voting for Noynoy…Though I know majority of my relatives are voting for him, hoping for another round of favors…I, in return, am voting for GORDON-BAYANI!

    I believe the time has now come for us to give importance to what our country and it's citizenry needs.
    A leader who does not only know what has to be done to address the problems on hand , but also knows and feels the strife of the people…. A leader who will perform his duties to the people and not be deterred by preferrence… A leader who can be stern enough to achieve results, and yet feels compassion for the people….That's the leader we need…regardless of affiliation to other candidates! ;D

    The contents of the resume does not always guaranty that the bearer fits the job. There are cases that the bearers of poor resume excelled far more than the most qualified one when given a chance. Sometimes the real worth of a leader comes when he already calls the shot. This election is a gamble for the Philippines. Voting base on the fantastic accomplishment of the candidate does not guaranty change for the better. Former President Marcos was an example. He was an accomplished lawyer and law maker, his qualifications was superb. What happen to the Philippines during his long years in power? While our poor neighbors became a tiger economy, ours plunged to poverty and chaos. I voted Gloria Arroyo in 2004 because of her accomplishments and that she is an economic expert, hoping our economy will improve. What happen? Her irreparable negative trust rating proves her worth, not on black propaganda. Gordon, Gibo, Villar, and Bayani worked closely with the GMA administration for a long time already. Their supposed excellent ability must have boosted the rating of their partner GMA by delivering to the people the services they deserved. Did they performed well during their term in the government while they have the advantage of being a collaborator of the people who disposes the government funds? Our situations speak for itself. They haven't performed well. Common sense will dictate whom to vote in May 10. We will vote for trustworthy candidate, the one who cherish honor. We will know the capability and worth of a leader when he already holds the power in his hands.

    I'll vote for Noynoy.

  • http://twitter.com/raggster @raggster

    Wow. Somehow, I feel slightly piqued that I wrote two comments' worth of insight, and people seem to be blatantly ignoring it just to prop up their candidate. Oh well, ces't la vie.

    Regarding Gordon: What stands out about him for me is not what he's been up to lately, but what he did while he was mayor of Olongapo, when the US forces pulled out of Subic. He argued vehemently against the bases pullout, presumably because it would be the death-knell of the Olongapo economy, but when it came time to convert the bases into freeports and the Cory administration asked for his help, he demanded that he be made the chairman of the SBMA, a supposedly "transitory" position he would hold on to for another 6 years, and that he would try to cling to for dear life when the Estrada administration replaced him.

    Ironically, the bases conversion was a godsend to Olongapo, as it has generated more jobs and income than the US bases ever did.

    Strange, don't you think, that someone who was against the bases pullout and conversion would suddenly demand that he be put in charge, and would subsequently refuse to leave once his time was up? Even if one argues that he "saw the light" once the bases pullout was decided, wouldn't it have been a matter of "palabra de honor" for him to have let someone else helm the SBMA and to just work closely with the person as Olongapo mayor?

    This trend of lacking "palabra de honor" continues to this day.

    He had filed a bill seeking penalties for "political turncoats," or people who haphazardly switch political parties – and yet now he himself has shown such behavior, jumping from Kampi to Bagumbayan just to run for President.

    He allied himself with GMA for a long time, but then turned on her when she started favoring his political rivals. Yet while he talks about making GMA accountable, he also claims that GMA is just a "victim of the system."

    It is thoroughly confusing. Will the real Dick please stand up?

    I feel sorry for those who believe the block propaganda about noynoy's empty resume. where in fact noynoy's is not empty. His acomplishments are posted in his websites. All you have to do is find it. All surveys proved a Noynoy Aquino landslide victory in May 10. That's the reason behind all this dirty black propaganda against Noynoy. The hopeless chances of their candidate to upset the massive support for Noynoy is what drive their frustrations to resort to dirty mudslinging below the belt. I'm really sorry for your candidate because their dirty trick won't help them win; rather, as it was happening already, will backfire on them, and will push their small margin of support away from them. Really really sorry for you; but, we are not born yesterday.

    Sorry Libby, but it seems you're also a victim of black propaganda against Noynoy. Your knowledge of the Hacienda Luisita massacre was based on that "Professional Agitator" Satur Ocampo's fabrication. To share with you the real truth on the Hacienda Luisita Mess. Please view this site, and you will see the actual death of only two (2) people in that mess who's blame falls on Satur Ocampo's hands and the mobs that he brought there. The other deaths brought there by ocampo's mob died in an encounter outside Luisita. Here is the site and the truth.

    Well, as it seems, that the battle lines are drawn already between Noynoy's supporters and the supporters of other contenders, all we need to do is just vote for our candidates.

    Joseph,
    I worked in Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ) between July 2002-December 2002. I saw what the Americans left there: International class airport with buildings and huge warehouses with vast open lots for container depots, a good harbor with buildings warehouses and also vast open container depots. They also left several buildings, quarters, power and communication facilities and a number of others more. All these facilities that the Americans left are usable, some needs only upgrading. Most of the buildings and quarters there and other facilities including sport complex, club houses (e.g. Yacth Club) are ready for occupancy. There are existing beach resorts, duty free stores, hotels, food business, a dock yard and other business before it was converted to SBMA. It was a tourist destination. SBMA was bound for progress even if that was charged to people other than Gordon. The Americans left Subic with a vast lucrative resources needed for progress and development including vast idle lands. All the government needs to do was to showcase those resources and invite both local and foreign investors. And that's what brought SBMA to it's status nowadays. It's not because of Gordon's ability; the resouces are there already.

    Did Gordon's "Wow Philippines" upset the tourism records of our neighbors like Thailand, Indonisia, Singapore, Vietnam etc.? Well, check it out.

    We will see in May 10 how the Automated election works. I believe you're updated how Smartmatic obtained not only the multi-billion peso Picos machine contract that encounters a lot of problems; they also obtained the other remaining contracts wholesale without a public bidding. Very fortunate, isn't it?

    I still don't understand why some Christians support and plans to vote for a candidate who not only lags in terms of competence & achievements (the truth will set you free) but who also TAKES JOY IN MUDSLINGING!!! A mudslinger is a brother to the corrupt – that's moral corruption!! I'll NEVER entrust the future of this country to such a NEGATIVE, INCOMPETENT person. NO to Noynoy Aquino – should have been Mar Roxas, tsktsk.

    Go for THE candidate who doesn't put the other candidates down just to raise himself up. New kind of politics – positive campaign! I think therefore i am for Gibo.

    Well, Mike:
    I just hope you really understand the deeper meaning of the phrase," the truth will set you free."
    Noynoy is not incompetent the way you portrayed him. He is not a neophyte in politics and
    government. All you have to do is check his websites and you will see; he is no nonsense. He
    knows what lies ahead and how complicated the problems he should be facing if he won the
    presidency. His guts to run for the highest office means that he knows what to do, and he is
    determined to pursue it because he saw the need to, and he feels his calling, and the massive
    support for him shown by the Filipinos confirms that calling.

    Never use verses from the bible just to justify your choice of a candidate whom you believe
    possed superb qualifications. Our countrymen had been praying for honest and good leaders
    for a very long time already. Who knows, God hear our prayers this time. God knows who fits
    the job. His methods is not the same as man's, i.e. resume, work experience, wealth, outputs
    connections, popularity, etc..

    When God chose David to be king, he was the least qualified, being a young shepherd, and a
    musician. He was not even an experienced soldier. When his countrymen's army was deeply
    worried because of the giant, Goliath's constant challenging for them to fight, and not one of
    king Saul's best warriors was willing to accept Goliath's challenge, David felt his calling and
    fought the giant. To everyone's amazement the boy David killed the feared giant and gave
    victory to his country and his God. The boy chosen by God, whom, experts at that time
    assessed him with no qualifications, no experience, and no expertise, answered his calling. By
    defeating the Philistine Giant, Israel's army regained their courage and chased the terrified
    Philistine army away. The boy who haven't shown any concrete qualification became the great
    king of Israel.

    The muds slinging was started by Villar's camp. Noynoy's camp responded only. When Noynoy exposed Villar's lies of being poor, his brother Danny died because they don't have money to buy medicine, he (Noynoy) was telling the truth. Villar's brother was confined in expensive FEU Hospital, not in free PGH for 13 days before he died of "leukemia" (incurable during that time). The funeral was serviced by "Funeraria Paz." Expensive funeral parlor, isn't it? So, do you believe Danny died because Villar's family has no money?

    Those I voted for President in the past elections all lost. Alejo Santos in 1981. Cory Aquino in 1986. Miriam Defensor Santiago in 1992. Alfredo Lim in 1998. Panfilo Lacson in 2004. This trend convinces me my vote is hexed! Hence in this year's elections my vote shall be for Manny Villar.

    Congratulations then to His Excellency, Noy Aquino, President of the Republic of the Philippines!

    hahahaha…. Anti-Noynoy camp will hate you for that!

    See how desperate the mudslinger's camp to beat Noynoy's coming landslide victory? They scripted another hate campaign against Noynoy. They prepared a mass conference for the hated mass murderer of Maguindanao only to declare their clans support for Noynoy. Isn't that another funny desperate black propaganda against the people's choice. How can a mass murderer call a press conference inside a maximum security detention camp, declare support for a yellow candidate, while he is wearing an orange bracelet with the name of the orange presidential candidate on it?

    Mr. Roces, Mr.Roces Mr. ROces…… tsk tsk tsk, confused ka naman ata. at ginamit mo pa ang Biblya sa pagpoprove ng kung ano man point eto….Sir, God chose David for one and only reason, HE is GOD, and alam niya ang ikabubuti ng kanyang mga creation. So please dont tell me na you used this as an example that Mr. Benigno Aquino's son is like David because hindi siGod ang pumili sa kanya kundi ang pagkakataon, Ang dala ng mga damdamin, ang Liberal party, at si Mar Roxas. and besides kahit sino mang nag start ng mudslinging na yan, David was never a mudslinger himself. Have you seen your candidate,answering issues from the very start? ganun ba tingin natin ang isang pinili ng Diyos for us?

    The boy who have no concrete qualification is David, and David is not Mr. Benigno Aquino's Son. These two are way different, the latter stood in one corner behind his family while hundreds of famers remained landless and remained widows . The latter sat on that senate chair for years without passing any law…The latter is not David.. so please…. isn't this blasphemy?

    Look! We really see things in different perspective. I believe you've seen what are published in Noynoy's websites, but you don't pay any attention to the laws that he passes the way you don't pay attention to my family name. You have been replying my posts, but you call me Mr. Roces instead of Mr. Rances which is clearly printed on my posts that you're replying.

    I did not compare David with Noynoy. I Just expounded my criticism to Mike's citing "the truth will set us free" then call Noynoy Negative and incompetent. My message there is clear. Our countrymen had been praying for good and honest leaders for a long time already, that God might hear us this time. My point is let the hands of God work through the honest votes of our people. Let's not confuse the dictates of the peoples conscience by telling them to be technical with their choice, because if God is offering his help through our conscience, then technicalities will pollute our conscience; and then, what? We are lost again.

    If we don't exercise caution in electing the 15th president of the Philippines… well I don't want to expound my little knowledge about occult science, I just don't want a wrong 15th president making our country a hell. Of course, don't take it literally. If you know anyone who is an expert numerologist you can ask him/her what makes a wrong 15th president. Or Just check "wikipedia" for Ryder-Waite TAROT and see what's behind the 15th (XV) card. Behind that card is the master of lies, deception, arrogance, covetousness, destruction, etc.. We don't have to believe that; just for curiosity's sake only.

    Well, your view is your own view; mine is mine; others are theirs. You can call your view "holistic if that is want you to call it; but you can't call other views idealistic because I'm not. I'm a realist. I look not just into every minute detail but also the big picture. I've been following the sessions of both houses of the senate and congress aired on radio or TV ever since the Estrada administration . I observed who's protecting who; I saw who benefited from something; how collusion suppressed valid issues; how money calls a quorums for controversial bills; and, I know most of the candidates, except Perlas and Gordon's Nephew. My conviction to vote for Noynoy is not based on idealism. He fits the office he is seeking for.

    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to share a reflection I've been going through some time now about "wasted votes". Is there really such a thing?

    Which vote is a wasted vote? The one used to give the best candidate a fighting chance, or the one used to let a supposed front-runner's backers control the outcome with unscientific surveys? Having generated the largest business portfolio for my previous company using market research, it really bothers me that the methodologies behind the various election surveys seem so loose that the results are practically useless except for whatever agendas those who paid for the surveys may have.

    For example, if Noynoy A is really the front-runner, how come most people I speak with are supporting Gordon?

    Obviously since I'm not a Villar-ionaire I can't do a proper survey myself at this point, but it's very worrying – look at the financial crisis caused by believing too much in credit ratings paid for by the companies being rated themselves – how much misery has been caused by this ill-placed compianza? Should we peg our faith in getting the leaders we deserve on unscientific surveys, or should we peg our faith on finding the best fit candidate for our country's needs?

    What would you like our country to have achieved 6 years from now? How do we measure the achievements we would like our people to have accomplished in 6 years, 12 years, 24 years, and what kind of proven accomplishments let us know which candidates are the best choice?

    I am sure different voters will have different criteria, and different results, but I hope you'd help spread the word to let the best candidate win, and not necessarily the ones pre-selected by paid-for survey companies. Personally, I'm impressed with this platform and the values, qualifications and experience behind ithttp://bit.ly/cABGn9

    Just to share, where I'm from, I can go jogging at night, there's a functioning public library, LTO transactions take 15 minutes, public school students have international-standard classrooms, and it doesn't even need to collect the same taxes as Makati. Do we want to just survive in our country, or really live?

    I believe our people will make the right choice if we just remind ourselves to stay focused on what this election is about – our future, our dreams, and our loved ones.

    May the best candidate win.

    What do you think? Please spread the word to everyone you care about also

    Cheers :)

    Mr Rances, you mentioned a while back that Subic was already ready for occupancy and that the WOW Philippines tourism campaign was not as effective as Gordon supporters make it out to be. However, let me point out that while the two accomplishments above are not as successful as many seem to think (according to you), what has Noynoy done to equal these? He has been a legislator for nine years and he has not passed ONE law. not ONE. Common. How can you believe that he is the most qualified candidate for President when he has been a legislator for that long and not achieved anything? We need something who has actually proven himself and not someone who been living off his family name all these years.

"kailangan KO po sila.". It should be -kailangan NYO po sila-. What does that say about him? That he cannot think for himself and needs all his pawns to do so. If you've seen "Harapan" for the senatoriables, you'll see how much non-great minds he has in his ticket. (i.e. TG Guingona). I think it SHOULD NOT be just about how good-natured a person is. We need someone who can SHOW US THE WAY TO BETTERMENT HIMSELF. One who has a vision and concrete plans. One who has done it himself. Go GORDON!

    So, this is the reason why Noynoy's websites was hacked about a week ago; to prevent people from knowing the truth about Noynoy's accomplishment both in congress and the senate; so that those who claim Noynoy has accomplished nothing can continue claiming so.

    Well, it's to late now. In six (6) days, we will see if the Filipino voters believed these zero accomplishment issue against Noynoy.

    I'm sure you watched on TV news how Gordon's bullying nature manifested when he was displeased by the results of the series of surveys showing his consistent very low rating. Gordon threatened to sue these survey institutions in court. How much more if he is the chief executive already? who is safe from his anger? If Gordon was the consistent topnotch-er of these surveys, do think he will behave like that? For sure, he will defend the result of the survey as fair if it favors him. The voters know Gordon very much. Surveys showed majority do not like him. Forget all these bragging of accomplishment because people are fed-up already with that antediluvian way of personal salesmanship. See what happen to the lady senator who habitually brag her fantastic accomplishment with flying colors. Do the Filipino voters likes her to be their president?

    When Villar's, Willy Rebillame's show was scheduled in SBFZ one Saturday night, permit was not granted. why? Is it because Gordon's 2nd place status after Noynoy's in his own city shown by surveys might be lost to Villar's favor?

    i am filipino. i am proud. and i am not desperate. i have a choice.

    i urge you to re-think. i urge you to reconsider. i urge you not to be desperate enough to vote based on a survey conducted on no less than 2,000 correspondents. you have a choice. the more you allow your choices to be overpowered, the more you drive this country to poverty. the more you allow this government to corrupt and exploit your decision. how can you?

    when noynoy wins, his parents track record will not bring jobs, shelter, food, education, tourism, or health care. his track record won't. and the surveys won't. when noynoy wins, go ask the social weather station to give you a job and to raise the salary of doctors and teachers. they're the reason everybody picked noynoy anyway.

    i have decided on who I wanted to vote, when someone asked me, where would you rather live — in SBMA or in Tarlac? and that's the real survey.

    Trust is not enough. He has done nothing in the past 12 years that says that he can do the job. He may be honest, but so what?____He is the son of Ninoy and Cory. But let us be fair to Noynoy. He is NOT Ninoy and he NOT Cory.
