...mrs. pacquiao goes into politics...

It really does seem that way nowadays. The public seemed to be really brainwashed enough to not see anymore the difference between entertainment and politics. Maybe because our media is so focused on dramas that they can't recognize fiction anymore from reality? And that they're feeding masses what they see as well? That's HORRIBLE! No wonder my fellow students are...not idiots...ignorant of what really is from what is fed to them.

Who ever was the governor there, definitely was not Jinky and it could change possibly from bad to worse if they have jhinky running for their municipality. lack of education is what made them less choosy with these candidates but right now this is something that the people of saranggani should talk upon.

As mentioned,I don't live or visited Sarranganni so I don't know where the credit is due. But I think the people who lived there knew and they will act on what want in a leader. I consider Jinkee a celebrity since she appears in magazines and quite in showbiz circles. I am sure she has her own plans for Saranganni if she got elected. For me, I don't hold it against her but being a leader(not just a politician ) is not easy. Th people's problems are your problems and you the blame almost every time. But then avian,election barely starts so we don't what's gonna happen. Also, perhaps the line between showbiz and politics is becoming too thin to recognize.

Actually, I am not expecting it tonnage. Not even if Aquino sits on that office for another term of office. The only thing about this is the irony of the situation. People want to see change but act on it. Leaders breaking promises and having an induced amnesia over these kind of things. Juts seeing the line-up for senatoriables for some parties makes me shake my head in revulsion.

* to change (sorry, wrong edit.)

Thanks for the back story.I didn't consider the local politics (which I should've. Then again, Saranganni politics was relatively quiet before Pacquio's election.

Well I guess the incumbent is not yet ready to give up his seat with the Pacquiao's which is gaining popularity and gaining their stronghold in the province. I think this is the best compromise the governor can have to control the province. Let Manny finish his second term in Congress maybe up until the third term then they would exchange when the governor would run for congress and Manny for gubernatorial position. Nice arrangement of power sharing scheme. They know they can hold the province under their influence with these silent partnership.

I agree with you on that ybong. With their wealth and in so much into their religious life, maybe they have realized they can be instruments of God in giving help to people. Let's see what she has for her platform, though i think she has to have a crash court on governance.

I agree that corruption is likely not on their agenda. I don't know what else she got to offer other than that. Personally, a leader for me should not be corrupt but also has skills. That I'm very eager to hear from her side. I hope she doesn't get too much burned out on her crash course.

Well, her surname is definitely a big pull towards the voters. It's practically a brand in its own right. If you look around the line-ups, old names always crop up again and again. In elections, a good name is somewhat a guarantee to being recalled or remembered. For your question, that the question I wish to ask for the people who might or gnat to vote for her.

I suppose you are from Saranggani. As I said in another response, I have no qualms with her running, she can be qualified to run. To hold the actual office, I don't know.

I hope Manny will not resort to this horrible practice. I mean, he seems have good intentions even though he's foll wing the corrupt system. He and his name is too good to be tarnished by that practice. I know that they will less likely to be corrupt but I don't think the public will label them kindly if they do that.

This is what I thought when Manny was campaigning for his seat years back. This is also the issue I bring up whenever someone asks from my opinion regarding running for a seat. Personally, I think if I were in the position, I will have more headaches than problem solved. Then again,maybe Jinkee will prove me wrong.

I'm not contesting the financial part. It's the skills that I'm after. True, money does solve many problems but being a leader doesn't mean you have to poor or rich (being rich is good but if you became richer then...). My case in pint would be Robredo. He was high official with the skills and the brains. And basically he was poor compared to other officials in government. I hope that people will also count that factor in a leader and not just being wealthy.

Actually,I was surprised but not entirely sh coked.I admit that Jinkee is eligible to file and to campaign, what I'm speculating about is if she wins can she handle the position given to her. I don't know her talents and skills for such a position but I think she will inform people when she's already into the campaign.

You're right. Everybody can run but not everyone can perform the job and win the set a in the first place. There is a reason why the COMELEC do declare nuisance candidates. However have yet to see what Mrs. Pacquiao can of fer. Ii am also tired of bad governance and too much politics. Sometimes,I wish I could surrender my right to vote since the candidates are not so deserving anyway
