Haven't decided yet? Let me help you!

7 days to go...another significant turn for the history of our country is going to happen...who will you vote for?

Will you be basing your votes to "survey" results or still stand by your preferred candidate even if they are not at the top of these so-called surveys?

Last presidential elections, I voted for Bro. Eddie Villanueva, I know he's not at the top of those surveys before but I still voted for him, he didn't win but I believed in him. At that time I thought that I will still vote for him if he'd run again for the presidency, and so he did. But this time Richard Gordon came into the picture, got myself confused. I'm only human!

Richard Gordon, Eddie Villanueva, Gilbert Teodoro, Nicanor Perlas, and J.C. Delos Reyes are the lesser evils among the presidential candidates. You have to admit it...they really are! But among these lesser evils I have picked my president based on experience and achievements.  And so I am voting for Richard Gordon!

I was there when Bagumbayan Gordon-Bayani held their kick-off campaign rally at Imus, Cavite...(for photos, click here). First time I've heard their platform, I already believed that they can do it...Why? Because they have concrete solutions and results-proven track records, unlike the other candidates who will promise a lot of things but try to ask them the step by step process on how to achieve what they are promising you'll get confused with their answers. There is a solution from Gordon, all we need is cooperation. "Bawal ang tamad at bawal ang tanga."

Once, my husband told me, "kapag nanalo si Villar o si Noynoy umalis na tayo dito sa Pilipinas..." then I said, "kapag nanalo si Gordon, may pag-asa pa ang Pilipinas!"

I believe in Gordon, I do not believe in surveys. Stop this sick mentality of "kulelat sa survey yan, sayang lang ang boto ko..." If you want change, then it should start with you. I believe that we will experience a BETTER TOMORROW if we vote for Richard Gordon on May 10, 2010! Go for Gordon!

Presidentiables' chart...read and know the difference!

got this from a Facebook Group Page called "sige MANNY VILLAR ikaw na ang MAHIRAP"
quoting a friend from last night's political discussion, "kung mahirap si Villar eh ano na tayo? fungi?" LOL
and like what I've said from my previous blog, Noynoy Aquino did NOTHING. I rest my case.

A Hero, A Heroine and a Free Rider

This is my second politics-related blog...again, out of my own opinion...

To have an idea as to what the title meant, see image below:




I've already seen this picture before, from a Tumblr account of a friend, right after Noynoy Aquino announced that he is running for presidency 40 days after her mom died. Come to think of it, what this picture says is true.

No question about it, Ninoy Aquino truly is a hero of the Filipino people. His influence still lives inside every one of us, we stand up for what we know is right and we fight against the injustices that we see around us. His own life proved that he is worthy to be called a hero. OUR HERO.

I have nothing against Cory Aquino being called a heroine because she saved us from our dying hope for our country after the Marcos regime. But for me, her lack of experience in the public office, more over as a President of the nation, became one of the reasons why until now we are still drowning in billions of dollars of debt for how many decades now...again, one of the reasons...don't misinterpret what I am saying here.

Now, going back to the reason why I'm writing this blog, Noynoy Aquino is indeed a free rider. He's just lucky because of his name and the family that he was born into, but his political records show that he is not fit to become the next president, in fact he has done nothing that's very significant or even worthy to be mentioned in his years of being a public servant. Yeah, I know what you'll gonna say...that he must have done something, maybe some little things that I am not aware of. Then by all means...SHOW ME! I'm not very fond of people who talks and talks but really, they're just borrowing the strong words of their parents. He can't even figure out a way to solve their family's issues regarding Hacienda Luisita, what more of our national problems? He knows what to say, but the question still remains, DOES HE KNOW WHAT TO DO?

And so I'll end this blog by posting another image, again from the same source...

The Annoying Orange of the Philippines

This will be the first of my political blog series...so please bear with me. :)

Last week I saw a tweet from one of my twitter friends (poljeffrey), twas a link on YouTube about the "annoying orange", and it's actually very funny! I know this kind of humor doesn't appeal to everyone but sometimes you just need some stupid puns to make you laugh and forget about your everyday problems. ;)

So there I was, watching all the videos uploaded by the lovable annoying orange when this advertisement popped out... Lo and behold! A political campaign advertisement on YouTube! From who? From the annoying orange of the Philippines! LOL Yes, it was Manny Villar's political ad! And yes, his campaign ads really annoy me that much since I saw and heard his first political ad up to his newest TV commercials, noon-time TV program insertions and radio jingles. I wanna curse that orange color because of him! Arrrgh!

Can somebody please explain this to me,  how a man who claims that he isn't corrupt like everybody else (despite the Senatorial hearings about the so-called C-5 controversy, etc) and oh-so-filthy rich (despite claiming he grew up in a poor family *still skeptical*) will not try to gain back his expenses or his sponsors' investments on his campaigns? Once he got elected as president of the Philippines (please, God, no!) can he really promise with pristine conscience that he will not make any kind of effort to take his money back or even let those who sponsored his campaigns gain his approvals (or signatures), or even give them political pardons or key positions to the government offices? Oh come on...

Did you know that Manny Villar's political ads exceeded Pres. Arroyo's while she was running for office back in 2003? ABS-CBN made a computation, you can read all about it here: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/03/17/10/villar-has-11-times-more-ads-gma-pre-election-year

Now, this is the point where I will show you this pop up political ad of Manny Villar from the annoying orange's YouTube channel:



Now, which one of them is the real annoying orange? The one on your left or the one on the right? Your call! LOL :P

Update:
I've read this article about Manny Villar's awesome claims in his campaign advertisements. Get your self informed, read and share!
