Gordon and Fernando for 2010. Are they better?

I am actually voting and supporting Richard Gordon for president because I was super impressed with his answers during the presidential forum. When he was featured in Profiles, I can really say that he really did turn Subic around and in addition he also made the Philippine Red Cross a very respectable organization. Thus, his leadership abilities are undoubtedly one of the best among the presidential candidates.

While I do not trust the skills of Gordon, I do believe that Fernando is qualified for either position. A person who has such strong will should definitely be given a chance to try to discipline and help shape up our rotten society. What hurts both their campaigns is the lack of a major backing from a political party that can very well be a telling factor in places where they are less known.

Well it is their right to run as they wish. Are they better? I have high respects for these two people. They seem to have plenty of supporters as well because they have created their name in the name of public service. Gordon being the Mayor of Olongapo, SBMA Chairman and a senator. I do believe he has also contributed a lot in Red Cross too which made him very popular during the kidnapping crisis of Red Cross volunteers months ago. He has been plainly simple and not very showy when in the public and he is indeed a good leader. On the other hand Fernando is very well known MMDA Chairman and has made improvements in his time as Mayor of Marikina. I think one of the cities that are very orderly was Marikina under his leadership. They seem to be a potential candidates but somehow I feel that their tandem would not be as strong as other contenders are. They may ran independent but I do not know how far they can reach the Philippines in their campaign. I think running for presidency needs a lot of network to be able to reach the far reaches of the country. I remember that was the case of under Roco who ran as independent before he was able to reach far but because he was not well equip in terms of networks he was not able to really campaign thoroughly in his time which during the polls came out rather poorly not because he was not qualified but he failed to reach as many voters as he can.

Yes, I've also seen them on TV declaring their candidacies. At first I can't help but laughed because it was really a shocking declaration, I never heard them before talking about their supposed tandem and Senator Gordon has never planned to aspire higher position and beside Fernando was already fixed his mind to run as President, so their declaration was a bit appalling. But later on I realized that they have rights to run anyway, if the ordinary people with no background in politics file candidacy for president, which reached to 80 as of yesterday-a very ridiculous situation in the country's national election, why can't they when they have experience in public service already.

So Gordon for president and Fernando for vice president or is it the other way around. I think it is a well respected tandem, its legitimate in my opinion. Those two are qualified and have the credentials to back it all up. Both are Lakas originals and has been loyal to the party and both are Lakas-Kampi rejects. Now i know who FVR will support or maybe he will jump to NoyNoy-Mar. Lets hope for the best whoever is elected, what i like about this coming elections is we can see a much faster counting. We could have a new president in a week after the election day...hope so.

Just the perfect pair for me. These two are leaders that i was waiting to run. I can even say that these guys are transformers. They may not be that popular in terms of surveys but if we really take a closer look, we don't need a popular president. We need a real leader. I always consider the Philippines as a great country without a great leader. What we need is someone who has the political will to make decisions on his own. I think these guys can do better than the other candidates. Cheers!

hello strawberry, last year i thought he was just another candidate and tandem with bayani is another group trying to race for presidency. but my perception for him really changed when he answered question in the Presidential Debates! and those people in top of the surveys wasn't even of their answers from the questions being asked. and knowing Bayani is an engineer he would know if the contracts on infrastructure is real or fake. They got my Vote! that's for sure.
