Among those candidates running for the highest seat in Philippine government, who do you think will make it? Who are you rooting for? Who is your best bet?
It can be the wars of the colors. Orange versus yellow. Or can be the fight between the oldest and the youngest. Or can be the fight between the administration and the oppositions. There are so many parties claiming they are the real opposition, so they are the "oppositions".
I am so excited to find out who will make it. Who do you think will win?

It is really hard how things will go when the election time comes. Anything can still happen at this point in time and predicting who will win can dramatically change when the counting comes in reality. Although our current surveys have pointed that Aquino is now leading in the surveys this can still change in time. Of course everybody is interested to see the change next year.

Well if you would like to know its Noynoy that is leading in from the surveys. But Chiz is also showing signs that he could make it. Although he is at the bottom right now I think he also has the charisma and intelligence in becoming a good leader.

In my opinion, it is not yet the time for Chiz Escudero. He has what it takes to take the presidential seat but not now, too early for his political career imo. If he does run for the vice-presidency, this will only dampen his career. I feel that Chiz is too big to be a vice-president and deserves more.

Honestly , I have not made my decision yet. I have voted so many times already. But after the voting and your candidate has won, they do not really turn out to be the the leader that you envisioned your country to have. The sad part is that they were involved in corruption which is making our country known for such act.

Have you voted for the former President Joseph Estrada the last time? Or are you referring to the incumbent president? You can not get corruption out of politics. You can minimize them but total housekeeping of the politics is really out of the question. The one thing we, as voter, can do is at least choose the lesser evil. That's what election is all about. Choosing your best bet is what you can do. Just a raw survey, who do you think would win? Just give me the wildest guess you could ever made. And why?

I don't know when will the oppositions learned their lesson. Votes will be divided again and an advantade to the candidate of the administration. Voters for the administration will be solid for one candididate, while the opposition have 3 candidates to choose from. Noynoy may win as he will get the votes of the in betweens, administration and opposition or those who are neutral or still undecided plus part of the opposition voters. Those who are disgusted or not satisfied with the administration but don't favor opposition. Francis Escudero is young and very talented but I think much better if he runs for vice president first. Villar has a better experience, he patiently waited for the right time, from congressman to senator, from speaker of the house to a senate president. Well equipped but he won't get a solid vote from the opposition voters. He will be affected with the sudden appearance of Noynoy. So with Erap, aside from the division of votes, I think in anyway, he'll be affected with the Lacson exposey. May the best man win, I just hope though the opposition votes will be devided again, someone deserving would still come from their line up.

It is a very crucial period in our history. May the best man wins and do his homework well for the good of the country. Everybody wants to be the next President of the country. Why? Do you know as we go on with our history, the next man who will enter Malacanang next year, I will greet him , "MR. PRESIDENT , CONDOLENCE!!! May God be with you always.... Because he is inheriting a BANKRUPT GOVERNMENT because its full of corruption and etc. I pray that he is a clean man, for the sake of the country.
This 2010 election , it's not a question of what color are you, it's a question of Integrity on the part of the winner.A clean man not tainted by corruption. You know I felt sad last New Year's Eve, when I talked to one person who is connected with the government. When he told us, whether he is clean or not, he will be like us corrupt, he will also rob the people like us. Very Sad, this kind of people in the government must be expedite. Very sad. And the people must also think notr only twice , but thrice , 10x before they cast their vote. And the most important is PRAYERS, we must pray for our country everyday. Because our election is very crucial, the person that will be elected in 2010, will shape the future of the country for another 6 years. The person that we will elect if he is really true to the country will only clean the government, kaya nga , MR. PRESIDENT, CONDOLENCE. Napakamalas ng Presidente na uupo sa Malacanang sa 2010, dahil aayusin lang ang mga problema. Paghindi niya naayos ang problema ng bayan sa 6 years , BOOM BOOM BOOM tayo lahat sa kahirapan. Kaya nakakatawa talaga , gusto lahat maging Presidente.Well , CONGRATULATION naman to thenext elected President sa 2010 if for his term he will be able to regain the confidence of the Filipino people.I pray for President Gloria Arroyo and former President Joseph Estrada that both of them will not run in 2010,for the sake of the country. Give chance madam and sir to other candidates for the sake of the country. And for other TRAPOS or POLITICOS, reflect,meditate for the sake of the country. Have Pity on our country, you have rob the people to much. Have mercy for our country. God bless our country that someday it will again prosper for the future of our Youth.

Who are you rooting for, then?
If what you say is that this election is a question of integrity, then who among the presidentiables are worthy of that "integrity" factor? Who do you think have the integrity to stand up and really fight for that position?
Be brave. Who do you support?
