Chiz Escudero is currently no. 2 while Trillanes is in the top 12 in the ongoing counting of ballots in the last senatorial and local election. Why do you think Filipinos voted for them? Do you think they have something to offer to help improve the Philippine government?

I was able to vote for Trillanes and Escudero not because am pro oposition but because I have managed to know there platform of government and I think they are indeed capable of becoming a senators. They have achieved a lot and in terms of educational attainment they have something to flaunt as they have graduated with honors and also they have this principles that could not be buy off by money. They were not also afraid to say what they want inorder to fight out for something they believed into.

hello there. :) you know, i think that the people's votes for escudero and trillanes only signify one thing: they are sick of GMA's governance and they want to put people in the senate who has the will and determination to correct the wrongdoings of GMA and that is by voting for escudero and trillanes. :)

Escudero declined to the offer of GMA, it looks like he is a person that cannot be bribe for good position just to keep quiet. Trillannes is pursuing a fightexposing the anomalies in the government, they are both idealistic people which we hope they will be the same once held the position as senators.

i've no knowledge about the offer of gma to chiz but i'm glad he did not accept. one thing that chiz that i admire about him is the respect of his colleagues both from the TU and GO.

Filipinos want changes in our present government so they voted for the two in the hope that they would do things that the present administration failed to do. Their victory represents the most serious indictment of the GMA administration. it's far from predicting how they will fare in the senate but one thing for sure, they will rock the corrupt.

personally, i think its because most filipinos believe the country needs a new breed of leaders. leaders who have strong ideals. leaders who can make a stand with their position. unlike veteran politicians who already know how to play the game, they care less of what the country can do for them, but of what they can do for the country.

i think filipinos now are looking for new breed of politician and those who have good stand on their principle and i guess escudero and trillanes have their own stand and they have new and fresh ideas on how to reorganize our government or politics

I think the two gentlemen were sincere in their fight against corruption and we need young men who have fresh ideas to lead our country. We already know how the old politicians fare in the senate, let's just hope that these two won't be eaten whole by the rotten system.
