Fifteen Random Thoughts on the 2010 Philippine Elections

Disclaimer: What you are about to read are my commentaries and are all based on my opinions. If you think my opinion suck, you have the right to think so. Anyway, the feeling is mutual. I think you suck! Well, here it goes... 1) What has happened in the vice presidential race is just a vindication of how high the people's belief unto Escudero's false prophecy. 2) I have a feeling that the Aquinos will have a dose of their own medicine maybe two years from now. We haven't learn have we? People power, lucky Binay!! 3) Some ballots were not counted because of several marking errors and that makes them angry, I ask why? People should not just "bara-bara" enforce their right to vote without comprehending their responsibility as voters. They should have at least oriented themselves with the voting system. Comes with your right to vote is your responsibility to digest and understand how to. 4) I feel sorry for those whom I think deserve to win. Sorry Teodoro, sorry Fernando... I'm still a believer!! 5) The election will leave a lot of garbage. 6) Roxas will lose to Binay and that officially gives him a slimmer chance come 2016, well, he will be appointed as a secretary of something. I'm guessing, trade and industry. 7) Mind you, Villar and Legarda will return to the senate and Roxas, Jamby and Gordon will bid farewell. 8) For me, what Aquino, Legarda and Villar did was unconstitutional. They were elected in 2007 to be a senator until 2013 but they opted to run for a higher post. That's a betrayal of the people, they were elected to be senators until 2013, thus, they abandoned their duty. The senate and the presidency are two different worlds you know, senate is legislative!! presidency is executive!! 9) There had been a lot of twist!! Binay upsetting the foul mouthed Roxas who once inadvertently shouted a foul word p..... ina in a public rally. In front of tv cameras!! 10) Pacquiao finally nails it. I just don't know if its good or bad. 11) Bong Revillla's "ocho, ocho" inspired bs crap commercial took him to greater heights while the militants didn't win. Yes!! the militants didn't win!! No, Bong Revilla, not again!! 12) Escudero might be thinking that he has a sort of "Midas touch." We'll see... 13) I prefer channel 5 as opposed to the Kapuso and Kapamilya geegaw.. 14) Again I ask, who is Noynoy apart from being the son of his famous parents? 15) We just have to trust the system and the government. Rizal once said that our strongest weapon against tyrants is to remain calm. As he said in his el fili, "endure and hard work." So, to end this lengthy post, I trust the Aquino government. Wherever we'll go Aquino will take us. Still, I firmly believe that, "hindi lahat ng nakadilaw bayani" We should not look for heroes anymore, we'll just have to find the heroes within us. As always, Louie
