The list of Presidentiables 2010 (Philippines)
Ayan na mga ditse, nilabas na ang shortlist ng mga haka hakang tatakbo raw as candidate for President of the Philippines in 2010. Hindi ko nakita sa list ang ating ina-asahang Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan or Mar Roxas whom I’ve heard through the grapevine, is supposedly running as well. Sir Kiko did mention that he is mulling over running as an Independent for Vice-President instead. Hmmmm… puwede pa kaya siyang mag change ng mind? I mean, the list is quite crazy.
Before anything else, there’s good news. Approved na raw ng Congress ang budget for automated polls for the 2010 elections. Tapos na ang mga linggo-linggong bilangan, dayaan, at paghihintay ng resulta (habang nagbabayad yung iba sa chorva-chorvang mga voters) etc. etc. Therefore, there is a chance that they could bring back the credibility of a democratic election in the Philippines. Who knows? I sincerely hope na gamitin ang automation to stop fraud talaga. Pero, ang dami na raw kumokontra (as in di naman daw kailangan, baka naman daw ma-hack lang yung system chever chever!) Hmmmf! Anovey?
Heniwey, here’s the list in no particular order. We will have a poll at the end of the post to see if you are to vote today – kung ngayon ka boboto, sino ang iboboto mo galing sa listahang ito? Sa totoo lang, nagulat din ako sa listahan. Kaya, maupo kayo habang binabasa ninyo.
Noli De Castro
Chiz Escudero
Loren Legarda
Manny Villar
Ping Lacson
Joseph Estrada (HA?! Sa totoo lang.. walang biro?)
Richard Gordon
Bayani Fernando
Gilbert Teodoro
Mike Velarde
Ngayon mga ditse, sa listahang ito – may mapipili ka ba na sa palagay mo ay magbibigay halaga sa pagbabago ng ating gobyerno? Pagbabago ng buhay ng Pilipino? Ikauunlad ng Pilipinas? I am a bit skeptical although I haven’t really studied each candidate’s CV just yet. I need to know what they stand for before I can choose. I am going to do that soon. I will DEFINITELY NOT VOTE for Joseph Estrada. Come on people!!! Wake up and smell the freaking coffee.
As promised, here’s our poll:
