Personally, I do not really know who I will place instead of GMA, there are many people who are capable, but who can be trusted? I'm just tired of all the lies the government has. Who can be the person that we can trust that will place the progress and the improvement of the country as his/her top priority rather than just gaining some wealth.

Well you're right in there. There is really no one right now who is capable of running the government competently. I think it would take ages before we can really find one that will stand and work out for the benefit of us Filipinos. All leaders both from admin and opposition are just not trustworthy to stay in there. That is why up until now I am at a lost who am I going to suppport.

Hi rsa. I agree that no one can really be trusted within the current affiliations in politics. 2010 is coming up fast and I do hope that the person that's going to win is deserving for that position. Not just someone who seeks power or anything else that is not within the direction of helping the state of the country and it's people.

In my opinion, I always like Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago to be the President. She has a very strong conviction on all her programs and beliefs. She doesn't hesitate to fight anyone if needed. Senator Miriam has a wide-range of ideas and is very smart at that.

is there? i think there are a lot who can take her place but i think they are all the same. TRAPO. almost all the politician are being good just for the sake of their selves. promises promises during running but when they are already seated they no longer care what they promise to the people. they make sure their pockets are full while most of the Filipino people are hungry.

yeah, that's the problem, we can never really see who can be trusted because once they get into the seats of power, then they show their true colors.
But I believe that somewhere in the country, there stands a person who can really change what's happening in the government.
