Election Fever -- Who's Going to get your Vote?

Tweet

With the upcoming election just about a month to go a lot of question still lingers me and I'm afraid it won't be answered even in the near future. On Aquino He has the bloodline, he has the pedigree and he has the "cory magic" in his being. Still, a question remains unanswered: Who is he apart from being the son of Patriot Ninoy and president Cory, the brother of popular TV actress Kris and the brother-in-law of basketball superstar James Yap? Who is he? What has he done to get my nod? On Villar He's successful, he's a self-made billionaire. His rags-to-riches story is as magical as those of the Cinderellas and the Snow Whites. However, will he turn the presidency into his next multi-million peso estate? will he go for personal profit rather than GNP? On Estrada The self-proclaimed champion of the poor. A noble title indeed but did it ever occurred to anyone of us that a president should be president of the people not just president of the poor. A president should be president of the people irrespective of social class. Once elected you are not president of a certain marginalized sector nor president of the ruling majority. Where's the doctrine of equal protection of law? As president you should take care of the welfare of all your constituents whether rich or poor. Mr. former president, I may ask... what about the rich? who's their protector? On Teodoro Without question, the smartest and wittiest of all presidential aspirants, he has solid platforms and solutions. He has form as well as substance on the other hand intelligence alone does not make a good leader. He may have the tools but does he have an experience handling a whole nation? I admire him, he has the potentials bet he is raw and there's no OJT when it comes to the presidency. Moreover, he's witty, how can we be sure that he isn't outwitting us all this time? On Gordon He transformed Subic but Subic isn't the Philippines. It's just a small part of the country. He offers tried-and-tested solutions but could it be that his "old and traditional" way incompatible to then "new and ever-changing" world of today? Subic's transformation is fueled by the changes which were embraced by the people plus the brilliant ideas of Gordon. But an issue still bugs me, the Philippines isn't Subic. Does his system suits a whole nation? On Villanueva A religious icon, an apostolic mission. He is at the bottom of every survey but he remains optimistic. Are we chaotic enough that we are due for a miracle? However, our constitution speaks for the separation of the church and the government due to our harsh experience during the Spanish regime. So, my question is: Would he favor his church and in the process we'll basically go back to the "friar's way of things"? On Madrigal, Perlas, Acosta, Delos Reyes With all due respect, I choose not to say anything for or against them.
