Who do you think is going to be the next president of the Philippines? Noynoy Aquino? Gilbert Teodoro? Manny Villar? Joseph Estrada? Eddie Villanueva? Richard Gordon? Jamby Madrigal? JC de los Reyes? Nicanor Perlas? These are the official list of individuals who qualified for the position of president. I just want to give some insights about what I think about them. My own criticism and opinions, things I know about them.
Well, let’s start with Manny Villar. He is a businessman and believes that he can help all the poor people in the Philippines. He said that he is going to decrease poverty in the Philippines. My question for him is, if he wants to help poor people so badly, why spend billions of money for advertising and for campaigns? I would rather use that money for charity!
How about Noynoy Aquino? He is the son of the man in the 500 peso bill, Ninoy Aquino and our own ex-president Cory Aquino. I heard that he was not supposed to run for president, but after his mom’s death, he suddenly decided to run. A sudden change of decision, why? Is it because more Filipinos will vote for him because of this turn of events? Is he just riding the popularity of his mother’s recent demise?
Let’s move on to Gilbert Teodoro. “Galing at Talino”, well I am very impressed with the works of Gibo. In my own option, he is one of the best if not the best candidate. He is really talented and very intelligent. He would fit well in the position. The only problem with him is that he is with the administration. He is on the side of our present President Gloria Arroyo, which a lot of people hate.
Now, Joseph Estrada. He is the former president of the Philippines but the fact that he was thrown out by the Filipinos and was the first president who was arrested and sent to jail, who would honestly want him to be the president again? I really don’t get the people who will still vote him! For me, he does not deserve a second chance for this position.
Then there is Eddie Villanueva, a man of God and a pastor who is now trying to get inside politics. I don’t know what to say about him but I just feel that he should not be in this position. This is not his forte and I just feel that he does not belong with these politicians. But if God really wants him to be the president, then His will be done.
Senator Richard Gordon is next. He is a former secretary of tourism, governor of Philippine Red Cross, and also a former chairman of SBMA. For now, I don’t see yet any issues and wrong doings of Gordon, I can see that he is working well now and I hope that he just continues it without cheating His main problem is that he is currently below the polls that have been swarming the media.
The other three presidentiables, I don’t know what to say about them, and honestly, I don’t want to talk about them.
How about you? What do you think about our presidential candidates? Who do you favor? What are your insights about them? Come on! Let’s go and be aware of what is happening on our country. Let us become the next generation that is going to make a change!
