If I get a chance to talk to those politicians who are running to be re-elected this election, I would ask them their reason. I imagine them answering me with: Because I still have a lot of projects that I want to do to help the people. Right there and there I would raise my eyebrow and tell them: Why sir? Have you not been in office for a complete term and wasn't able to finish those things you have in mind? Or did you plan for this, deferring your good projects for you to have a reason to be re-elected?
Many of our politicians are making politics as business and not public service. If you are given a chance to meet them in person, what are you going to ask them?

It depends on the candidate. Specifically, I want to ask one candidate a question.
I want to ask Nonnoy Aquino "Who are you apart from being the son of your famous parents?"

Nice question, I think it would help to have a follows up question: "Now that you're parents are gone, to whom would you ran to for important decisions?"

The Pink Sisters. He had a retreat with them before he announced he was running for presidency, right?
No offense to Noynoy supporters out there...

hello sharlionse,
that's the reason why i decided not to vote for local and senatorial position slate. i was preferring to vote for the popular people in the polls but knowing they sided with villar makes them no different from the other candidates, which is really really sad. @sharlionse (739)

But that would be the same as ignoring your right to vote and NOT helping your country to prosper. But I can't blame you because we seem not to have a choice but the lesser evil..

I guess I would ask them why should people vote for them again? I would also like to know if they are running because they really want to serve the people or if they're there for the money. Hehehe!
