Philippine elections...

Gordon or Bro. Eddie maybe good candidates but do they have a chance of winning? Is there another candidate you think will be good for the country in the long term? NOT immediate relief, but sustainable development and change? I strongly suggest you vote for someone that fits the your choice within the top 3 or 4 so that your vote will not go to waste on someone you know will never win. UNLESS you don't like any of them. hahaha. Remember that this is no longer about self gratification, no longer about your principles, this will be for the development (survival?), or more precisely for the reformation of the country's consciousness. I will not tell you who to vote for for I am not in a position to say who is the Best candidate. That is for you to figure out. As long as you vote for the candidate you think could win and the BEST to serve the country, even if we vote for different people, you'll get a tap on your back from me.

Hello ybong, If only i was politically awaken 3 months ago, i would have strongly suggest that you stick to Gordon, he has true vision for our country. his track record explain for itself. how can you vote for bro eddie if he has not been in any political positions in teh government and he has only been in his religion for so many years. how can he handle that executive position if he hasn't experience it yet?

Hi there. I am still undecided who to vote for president but I would like to say that Gordon is not a bad choice. I PERSONALLY still can't decide which among Gibo, Noynoy or Gordon. Why Gordon? Because he has done a lot of projects to Subic and to the Philippine National Red Cross.:) I am still undecided because it is really a tough competition. Anyway this is just an opinion. Hope you guys will respect my opinion. Thank you.

i won't say a thing about the other candidates as i am still undecided. the only thing that i can say about bro. eddie? he's a pastor, my kababayan. most of all, i cannot forget him, because he is the husband of my grade 5 teacher, mam dory. but i am not saying i will vote for him, as of this moment.

The good thing is, you have more time to know more about our candidates and think whom to vote for. Our kababayans are giving nice inputs in this thread and I really hope more discussions will come out so we can cast an intelligent vote. I like Gordon. His role in transforming Olongapo is impressive just like his running mate Bayani Fernando did in Marikina. They are real transformers. I also think the Gordon-Fernando team is the kind of politicians the people should be thinking of voting. Villanueva will be a refreshing twist in our politics. I think he is very sincere to lead our country to a better state. He is starting a good campaign by emphasizing that the transformation work begins with the people. Whoever you will be voting, go to what you think is best suited to lead the country today.

Well, I'm like you. I'm still in the quandary between Bro. Eddie and Gordon. As you say, Bro. Eddie is not a "trapo" and has the "fear of God" to lead the nation and Gordon is a good choice too because of what he did with Olongapo which I think is really good. Even though they have a lesser chance of winning according to those election polls/surveys, I will still vote according to my choice and not be influenced of who's on the top 4 or that my "vote will just be wasted" if I voted for those who are in the bottom. I just hope that others will vote wisely according to their conscience and not be influenced by who's on the top surveys for fear of wasting their votes.

Well I think we should vote based on what your conscience is dictating to you. I respect your decision to switch to anyone you think deserves to become the president. I for now am open minded and has not really closed my mind as to who to vote right now. I still am discerning and want to know more of their platform and dreams for our country. I think I will know more of them next week as I think it is officially the start of campaign period for President and VP candidates.

If I were you I would stick to brother eddie. I will vote for bro eddie, not because people tell me to do, but because that's what my heart tell me. I am really tired of the traditional governance. We always said that we want a new government and the best way to do that is to vote for a president not a member of this "traditional government". The traditional government may be able to do something for the country, or a city; probably, make some road, build some buildings, made some laws or what but it doesn't mean that they haven't or they will not be corrupt, or that they will stop corruption. No matter what these traditional government people has done, big or small, the question is, have they really stopped corruption or did something about that?.. no! so why vote for them again when in fact even when they were seated, they were already in the government they weren't still able to do something about corruption., which means that they were the ones who were stealing or that they are just scared. Ex. gloria arroyo, she did things while seated but she was still corrupt. Therefore (again), doing little bits in pieces doesn't mean you will be able to erase corruption. But the only person who can eradicate corruption is the one who really fears God, a man who is selfless and loves the country. isn't it evident in eddie's life?.. he has 5 million members worldwide(which means he is a good leader) and despite that, he just have a simple house and their church has many schools all around the PI for free (which proves he is not corrupt and taking advantage of his position).
