Looks like Sen.Mar Roxas “padyak” ads are effective in making people notice him. Or maybe because of his crusade against Legacy owner Celso de los Angeles whom he accused of swindling thousands of plan holders. Or it could be the “Korina Sanchez” factor.
Whatever it is, the latest survey of Pulse Asia showed Roxas’ rating improving by five percent while that other presidential aspirants either slightly declined or remained the same, except for Sen. Loren Legarda, whose numbers dipped by five percent.
In the survey on presidential preference conducted May 4 to 17, 2009, Roxas rating went up to 13 percent from eight percent in the survey conducted February 2 to 15, 2009.
But Roxas still trails Vice-President Noli L. de Castro (18%), Senator
Francis G. Escudero (17%), former President Joseph Estrada (15%), and Senator Manuel B.
Villar, Jr. (14%). (Down load here Pulse Asia survey mr1-ub2009-2-mr-on-may-2010-preferences-final)
The ratings of De Castro and Estrada decreased by one percent from survey four months ago while that of Escudero remained the same.
Ana Marie Tabunda, Pulse Asia’s chief research fellow said given that the survey has a six per cent margin of error, the changes in the numbers are not really significant for now. The top five, she said, are in a statistical tie.
But she said, considering that Roxas was only six percent in October 2008, his 13 percent now is a big improvement.
Loren Legarda is number six with seven per cent followed by Sen. Panfilo Lacson and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay with the same four per cent ratings.
Sen. Richard Gordon, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, Chief Justice Reynato Puno, and businessman Manny Pangilinan all got the endorsement of one percent of the respondents.
The survey was conducted among 1,200 respondents 18 years old and above.
mabuhay ka mar.mar is my candidate
Sana may election sa 2010. Mas maganda siguro kung ibalik ang 2 party system.
Should election be a reality in 2010, any candidate who could guarantee that gloria arroyo, her family and cabals shall be made to answer for all their abuses will get mine and my family’s votes.
It is the the prosecution of these animals that can ease our sufferings since day one of the corrupt liar and cheat in her stolen office.
No amount of “I am sorry with matching sheepish look” can take away the hatred that evil woman instilled in our hearts. Even the last strand of their flesh is not enough to pay for all the crimes they commited against the Filipino people.
mahaba pa ang panahon na lalakad. marami pang pagbabago na mangyayari sa survey. tingin ko babagsak si Noli dahil halatang dikit pa rin siya ke Galora kahit kunwari ay hindi. Ke Ping pa rin ako. Higit ko pang nanaisin na makitang patay ang mga rapist at masasamang tao kesa ang mga kawawang bata na biktima ng rape. Mbuhay ang mga mayor ng Davao at Palawan
We should Isolate gloria more before the chacha happens…..
Ellen,
A very significant legislation is about to be introduced and has the support of all the Parties in the Parliament…the Victims of Terror Rights to Sue in Canadian Courts…
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/643428
Tories to introduce legislation this week allowing terror victims to sue their attackers.
This relief is available to individuals or groups or tribes to bring their cases to Canadian Courst for civil damages..
Not seen the details of the legislation yet, but it was lobbied for and campaigned by the coalition of the families of the victims of Terrorism, including the 9/11.
The State Immunity Act of the past gives foreign Governments immunity to be sued in Canadian courts other than for Business. This Law will repeal that immunity.
If the new legislation is similar to the private member’s bill, it would apply to acts outside Canada, but some Canadian connection would be needed – such as a Canadian victim or Canadian sponsor of terrorism abroad. But again we will wait and see..
Maybe this will give the Victims of Philippines Government Terrorism Acts the opportunity to get relief for their sufferings and that will include the Acts of the NPAs and the ABUs..etc..
Among the presidentiables, Mar has a better clean record even if he comes from a wealthy family who has never experienced how it was to be poor. He was seen wearing a very expensive pair of shoes while riding the “Padyak”. His popularity and chance to become President shall be boosted when he marries Korina Sanchez.
There’s another reason if not the main reason why US Sec. of Defense came to the Philippines to meet his counterpart Sec. Teodoro. It appears Uncle Sam is supporting Teodoro’s presidency.
Uhmmmmmnn parang di ako makapaniwala na isang laki sa marangyang buhay na isang atenistang nag papadyak ng bike,,, uhmnnn imposible. Pero hanga din ako sa style nitong si Mr. Palengke nong una, ngayon naman ay Mr. Padyak, malaking bentahe ang laging pag papa cute.
Sana maging matalino na ang mga botante, sana di na nadadaan sa mga pasayaw sayaw,pakanta kanta, wag sanang piliin ang isang dating pulis na may kinakaharap na murder na kaso, dating nakulong na presidente,berdugo ng mga vendor,isang mayor na nasampahan ng kaso ng pandarambong dyan sa Makati.isang bilyonaryong nag hihimas ng putikang itik,atenistang nagpapadyak ng pedicab,isang politikong kay ganda ng boses na ginagamit ang pag ibig,isang sec.na wala na yatang inaasahan sa pilipinas kundi puro sakuna at delubyo ang pinaghahandaan,isang pari na may recall election dahil sa incompetence na pamamalakad sa kanyang lalawigan,isang batang batang pulitiko na parang maka’ta ang dila,na wala namang nagawa sa kanyang distritong kawawa.
tsk tsk,tsk, tama na po! ibalik po ntin ang dangal ng ating minamahal na bansa, wala na bang iba na tunay na nagmamahal sa diyos at bayan.Maging matalino po. Pumili po tayo ng isang leader na may tunay na takot sa Diyos, suriin po natin ang mga character ng mga kandidatong nabanggit, salamat po…..Mr.Cuasay of Laguna
Welcome to this blog, Sidney.
Admin matters lang. Take note that I changed teh case of your comments to small letters.
Mas maganda basahin ang ganun kaysa all capital letters.
Thanks.
Well, try his luck this coming 2010 election…but my personal opinion eh kasama yan na huhusgahan ng Masang Pilipino sapagka’t isa yan sa naghudas sa EDSA 2.
Kaya mahihirapan siyang kumuha ng boto sa Masang Pinoy, di ba wala rin yang paninindigan kung ang pag-uusapan e legality ng Estrada adiminstration.
He is also accountable sa pagkakaupo ni GMA sa malacanang…isa yan sa kumalas sa ERAP gov’t, sigurista yan at playing safe kung ang pag-uusapan e paninindigan sa katotohanan.
Tingnan natin kung may ibubuga yan sa 2010 or else wag na niyang uulitin yong ginawa niya last EDSA 2.
Either Mar Roxas at Dick Gordon ang gusto kung maging susunod na Presidente.Itong dalawa lang ang may kakayahang baguhin ang Pilipinas.Parehong hindi Corrupt ang dalawang ito at makabayan.
manuel villar, dream big…dream on,,its free,, have erap forgot how then manny shortcut the impeachment…loren was crying her butt out because they were outvoted to open the envelope..
why is manny not facing his acusser at the senate floor and instead going to the media and crying out loud, there is a proper forum for him to0 answer…chicken,,,,
and why is the senate not ordering his arrest for not showing up?????
opposition and opposition wannabe(fake ones) erap open your eyes…
An eye-opening column by Manolo Quezon calls to mind the assault of then Makati Rep. Joker Arroyo on HR colleague and nemesis, Cong. Manny Villar at a time when Joker was salivating for the top House plum. Ranting then on the manner Villar has kept secret the benefits his realty firm derived from government even if it was against their rule, Joker pounced on his rival for the Speakership all ending in naught.
Today, he is fucking defending him. Joker is such a jerk.
http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20090601-208130/Senate-cant-succeed-where-Rep-Arroyo-failed
I’ll bet on Mar Roxas and Gordon, let’s choose the less evil among candidates..I use to like Escudero kaso lang puro dada lang din.
I prefer Roxas-Gordon team than Roxas-Pangilinan; but would Gordon agree to be the Vice?
I don’t have any problems with Roxas becoming the next President of our country. He looks decent enough and well educated and knows what he is talking about (I think) unlike other presidentiables. What I dread most about him being the President is his soon to be first lady. Heard a lot about this lady and her tantrums. Ask discreetly from her staff in ABS-CBN and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Another presidential hopeful who has an attitude problem wife is that of Teodoro’s. Imagine her saying to the media, and threatening at that, that if her husband is not chosen as standard bearer of Lakas, they’ll leave the party and still go on with their plans/ ambitions.
Yikes!!! Another Imeldific in the making.
Gordon talks too much.
Chiz has yet to prove himself worthy of becoming the next president. Nothing substantial in his being a congressman and a senator. Puro co-author lang and puro dada.. Like Gordon, he talks too much. (lamang lang si Gordon sa dami ng laway).
Villar ang nagpauso ng “cash” envelope when he was speaker of the house. Ginaya tuloy ni Gloria.
Binay, madaming anomalya sa Makati. Try applying for a business permit in that city and you’ll know how rotten it is.
Erap, matanda na. Be a king maker nalang.
Loren, pa cute lang ang alam. Caught lying in the Ces Drilon kidnapping. Wala daw ransom na binayad and she claims she was instrumental in Ces’ release. Oh talaga?
Noli, what does he know about running the country? Nada..
Wala pa akong napupusuan kung sino ang iboboto ko sa darating na halalan sa 2010, dahil wala naman eleksyon. Yan ang gusto mangyari ni Gloriang punggok.
I absolutely agree with you, Mike. Roxas could be a good President but the obstacle is Korina Sanchez. Once Korina becomes the First Lady, we shall see a combination of Imelda and Gloria. Korina once maltreated her maid and got away with it. She also barged into NBI office to demand release of her friend who was arrested for a crime. Obviously, she’s very dominant. Mar would become henpeck.
May nagsabi sa akin na taga Roxas city na kahit daw may kaya sila..Acuna ata ang middle name ng Lolo niya..hands on sila sa pagtulong sa mga walang kaya sa Roxas City and very down to earth daw…I certainly hope and pray that he will be our next president…coming from Panay Island since his his grandfather walang naging Presidente na galing sa Panay…since Vice President Fernando Lopez wala rin atang naging Vice President na galing doon..
Naging mahina ang Panay sa politics sa atin for many years..walang maibubuga at maipagmalaki..pero maraming marunong na taga doon..I am not talking about siraulo nor brenda..mukhang may tiriring ang dalawang ito…
Kay Mar na ako! He looks clean and does CLEAN! About Korina? I think she has matured…! bahala na daw si Mar…mag-desciplina!
Roxas has never shown any sign of strength in matters of national importance.
What will make him change as president?
He’s always been a “wally” and a “wimp.”
Why will he be any different in 2010 assuming he wins the presidency.
He looks clean because he is a wimp, a pushover.
Mar Roxas improves numbers in latest Pulse Asia survey = GOOD NEWS!!!
Si Sen Lacson, 1st choice ko… kahit VP na lang muna…
How about Danny Lim for Pres. and Mar Roxas for VP? papayag kaya si Gen. LIm? Lim is from the north (Isabela) while Roxas is from Panay..ok ang geographical distribution…Querubin, Trillanes, etc. are from Luzon..
Napaka ganid pala niyang Money Villar at ang asawa niyang si Cynthia, kung tama ang sinasabi Ni Banayo ngayon sa kanyang column. Ibinenta nilang magasawa ang mga lupang pagaari ng gobyerno sa gobyerna to the tune of billion pesos. Ang puhunan power lang, nakupo, sobra sobra naman yan. Ganoon ba katanga ang mga nasa gobyerno?
Mike Velarde also benefited from it. He has not spoken a word since his name was implicated except to say that his company has not received the right of way payment yet. Still, why was this popular religious Preacher involved?
si binay ay mahal ng taga makati kahit anong gawin ni gloria para mapatalsik ay hindi siya napatalsik kaya binay ako.
This is just an observation from the Boto mo Ipatrol mo Debate last sunday.
I noticed that Mar Roxas always spoke about himself. He always said statements such as “Ilalaban KO kayo, Di AKO susuko, AKO ang bahala sa inyo, AKO, AKO, AKO.” I heard my neighbor said “Kaplastikan naman ung sinasabi ni Mar Roxas.” I think I agree. Well, that’s only our opinion.
Mr JuanStep,
Re your neigbour’s ““Kaplastikan naman ung sinasabi ni Mar Roxas.” ”
I agree with your neighbour. Roxas has the strappings and the makings of another Romulo Neri!
mga kaibigan….
maaaring medyo mas mainam ang kredibilidad ni sen. roxas pero duda ako na maisusulong niya ang mga pagbabago, maraming trapo ang nasa paligid niya at hindi makatotohanan kung anumang gimik ni mrs. korina.
malaking sugal ang 2010 election, habang abala sa pagsasanib ang mga partido ng trapos ay patuloy naman sila sa pagsulong sa conass…
kung malaking sugal at hamon ang 2010 bakit hindi natin lubusang suportahan at isulong ang kampanya ni among ed at gen. danny lim at ipakita natin ang boses ng masang pilipino ang higit na mananaig sa mga political machinery, goons/golds/guns, at mga trapo parties.
mas kapani-paniwala at totoo ang ipinaglalaban ng dalawang magiting na lider…mga bagong lider na bansa na magdadala ng bagong pag-asa at makatotohanang pagbabago sa 2010.
may angking karangalan, paninindigan, prinsipyo, matuwid at mapagkakatiwalaan at isusulong ang tunay na reporma sa pulitika at pagpapanagot sa mga kasalanan ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration sa bayan.
among ed-danny lim or danny lim-among ed!
NO to trapos sa 2010!
Mga kaibigan,
Pasensiya na. Pero wala akong katiwa-tiwala dito kay Roxas. Wala silang pinagkaiba ni Villar.
Makikita mo ang karakter nila sa kanilang napakaagang polical ads. They blatantly defy the laws, interpreting it for their own selfish ends and advantage. No integrity whatsoever. Nanakawan lang tayo ng mga ito. Tingnan mo sila ni Korina, parehong naggagamitan. Kawawa ang Pilipinas pag naupo din ang mga ito.
Pera nila ang ginagamit nila sa mga nakakasukang ads nila? I doubt! Ano sila, tanga?! Hindi, ah… ang taumbayang naloloko, pwede pa.
Pero dahil ang Pilipino ay uto-uto at madaling maloko…
The people deserve the people they elect into positions of trust.
He’s always been a “wally” and a “wimp.”
Sori, Anna, but am just looking for the less “EVIL” candidate. I just based my judgment on what I read about these candidates. So far, Roxas has come out as the best of the crop. If he has his share of loopholes, well, he’s not infallible! The important thing is, No more of the NUNALISA type…She is the biggest BLUNDER of all. I guess this term is even a very light and unoffensive attribute to her! Correct me!
BE, at 10:32pm June 1, you claimed Roxas marrying Sabunotera Korina will boost his candidacy. At 2:21am June 2, you expressed the idea of Sabunotera Korina a combination of Imelda and Gluerilla.
This is like Pareng Coy telling me tomorrow, Dick has no more “laway” to use as a projectile.
Hi Ellen,
I’ve been reading your blog for years now.
About Mar Roxas, I agree with some bloggers here
that he is not suitable to become president.
People from Capiz said, his mom is the one telling him
what to do. They own lots of business in Roxas City and no one is allowed to compete. It’s obvious nag gagamitan lang sila ni Korina.
Yes, No to trapos.
the most eligible presidentiable!
he to me has the qualities of a good president.
finally the choices of presidentiables for 2010 are not just basura.
i hope more and more pinoys will find it in their heart that their one singular vote is their pamana to the next generation.
if we bungled on 2010, wala na talaga. palubog na pati ulo ng pinas sa kumunoy.
mar roxas is the most eligible dahil walang bahid, ang perang gagastusin sa kampanya ay from their family’s hard earned money and not from govt. contracts, deals, etc.
i admire this man, ganda ng bio data. pwedeng itapat kay obama dahil both are achievers. hindi product lang ng pr like villar na obviously ay product of media hype. (c/o boy abunda)
korina is not perfect but to me, the measure whether or not she is worthy of being the next first lady is her devotion to her mother land. she has spent 25 years of her life in public service. wow, bilib ako syao korina. NOW IS THE TIME THE FILIPINO REWARD HER BACK BY VOTING FOR THE MAN WHO WIL BRING HER TO THE ALTAR.
sana si mar na ang susunod na pangulo. sana. im hoping and praying, if i need to beg from all my kamaganaks i will do just to convince them, mar is the best.
sa ibang presidentiables, theyre all tainted by scandals, corruption and dark past.
MAY BUKAS KAY ROXAS!!!
i hope kris aquino and tita cory will endorse mar roxas.
malakas na hatak yan. and also sana si susan roces. sana mar will be endorse by iglesia ni cristo also.
si noli de castro, could have been the ramon magsaysay of the 21st century but he does not have the brains to run an economy.
we need honesty plus capability plus credibility. mar has all the qualities
mama ellen, sino kaya vp niya? sana si kris aquino pero underage yata. wag si noynoy, mas bagay si noynoy sa senado to fiscalize.
hhmmm… pag si kris, magandang preparation for her for 2016. sino kaya ? siguro from luzon angkunin ni mar. my guess is lacson or escudero.
si kiko pangilinan as usual disappointed me.
he disappointed me when during his mr. noted days.
he disappointed me when he chose to go for villar.
ano ba ikaw kiko, wala ka ng kredibilidad! nakikisakay ka lang kay sharon. i find you a weak leader. id rather vote for vilma than kiko for vp. parehing plastik ang dating ni sharon at kiko sa akin at mga kaibigan ko. no wonder, irita si manay susan roces sa inyo. mga plastikada.
gina from cebu
They sa Mar Roxas is a mama’s boy. Naku, baka di magkasundo ang magbiyenan. Parehong magiging dominante ang dalawang babae sa buhay ni Mar. Gulo yan. 😀

They don’t believe that more call centers is the solution. One job gained here, another one loses in the US.

Malinaw na economic platforms ang kailangan namin mula sa iyo. Meron ka ba?
Patuloy ba nating bayaran ang foreign debt na matagal ng bayad?
Sagutin mo ‘yan, bago ka tumakbo.
Puwede mong lokohin si Korina, pero hindi kami dahil wala kaming vested interest na dapat mong i-satisfy.
We should learn to choose the right candidate. Don’t choose a candidate that can’t even clearly explain his plans for this country. Let’s think deeply before we choose a candidate.
if mar roxas bicycle-wagon continue increasing, maybe the others who are not so lucky ought to stop dreaming. to be president of pinas is after all not the most lucrative alternative to most of them. not unless they are thinking of continuing the plunder all of our past presidents have done.indeed,pinas need only one honest to goodness president to succeed, so clever are we and yet so unlucky.
@ Mike
There’s no problem with speaking too much because what Dick Gordon was saying were sensible and essential statements.
Probable senatorial candidates on the Erap list are Senate President Johnny Ponce Enrile, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, Sen. Bong Revilla, former Senators Serge Osmeña and Butch Aquino, Mayor Jojo Binay, Gina de Venecia, Grace Poe, former Rep. Ted Failon, Rep. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Rep. Roilo Golez, Rosemarie “Baby Arenas and Gen. Danny Lim.
…You would notice that Miriam Santiago is not in the list. She has been removed.
Baby Arenas? Again???
I don’t exactly agree with Erap’s list. He’s even entertaining of inviting Noli de Castro to the opposition camp. If he does that, I’ll take Erap’s name out of my list.
Padyak si Mar Roxas tsinelas naman si Korina. I just hope and pray the filipino voters will be more intellient this 2010 elections, kung may election.
Hindi pa rin yata inaalis ni Erap ang kanyang bisyong paglalasing, ah?
Listahan ng nakainom ‘yang senatorial line up niya, eh.
Maliban na lamang kina Mayor Binay at Gen Lim.
Ang tanong, kinunsulta ba silng dalawa? Pumayag ba?
Mr. JuanStep,
Gordon is not exactly squeaky clean. He has issues too in Olongapo. But not as garapal as the other presidentiables.
I heard Erap has cut down his drinking for health reasons. It’s a strict order from his doctor.
The list is only temporary. I was surprised why Rep. Teddy Casino or Satur Ocampo was not included.
In fairness, Gordon is a doer, a motivator as can be seen with what he did in Olongapo and Subic in the aftermath of Pinatubo and when the American’s left their military bases. What I don’t like about him aside from him being a blabber mouth, he looks like a very vindictive person. Not a good trait for a person who wants to be a leader of a country.
zenytj – June 2, 2009 9:11 am
Si binay ay mahal ng taga makati kahit anong gawin ni gloria para mapatalsik ay hindi siya napatalsik kaya binay ako?
Yes Zenyty ang galing ng perception mo…Mayor Jojo Binay for President. Siya lamang ang may guts sapagka’t ni minsan man e di nasindak ni gma and cohorts.
Siya ang karapat-dapat maging pangulo ng bansa sapagka’t subok na ang kanyang tapang at paninindigan. He is a fighter lalo na during martial law pero still alive and kicking.
Ang Makati ay prime city sa buong Pinas at talagang progresibo at ang laki ng benipisyo ng mga taga-Makati.
Ihatid natin si President to be Mayor Binay sa Malacanang…for sure tapos ang lahi ng ganid at kurap.
May analysis eh pag si citizen Erap ang tumakbong Presidente at si Mayor Binay naman ang Bise for sure panalo sila…at pagginipit nila si Hon. Erap na pigilan na maluklok muli sa malacanang automatic si Mayor Binay ang pangulo.
Abangan ang susunod na kabanata…ito ay pawang sapangtaha at may katotohanan…sige kayo magkatotoo ito!
Erap for me is already passe. If he is really serious about uniting the opposition as he has been claiming. Then he should forget or even entertain the thought of running himself. If he can’t really unite all, at least trimming it down to 2 or 3 opposition candidates, then support the one who is high on the survey ratings, I think the opposition will win. Top opposition candidate (based on surveys) plus the Erap factor has a big chance of winning.
Erap thinks that if he runs again for the top post against multiple candidates he will win hands down. I don’t think so, for one, the supreme court will not side with him on the issue of eligibility to run again despite his claims that legal experts/ luminaries are saying that he can. Second, there is Noli Kabayan who also has the appeal of the masses. It will still be a toss-up between the two.
Mar Roxas would have been a good presidential candidate, he has the name, the looks, the brains, etc… But the problem is, Mr. Palengke does not make a stand! He is always on the safe side! It is only now that he is making noise because he wants to run for president.
Ang tanong ko kay Mar Roxas ay simple lang, bakit nanahimik siya mula ng mahalal siya noong 2004 hanggang 2008??? Bakit di man lang narinig ang kanyang boses sa kasagsaran ng “Hello Garci” at iba pang mga iskandalo na kinasangkutan ni Gloria at ng kanyang mga kampon?
Ako ay sumasang ayon kay Ka Balweg na si Mar ay isa sa nagtraydor sa Pangulong halal ng masa. Hindi dapat kalimutan ang ginawa niyang pagtalikod sa masang Pilipino.
Mar is a Mama’s Boy.
Go CHIZ!!!
Biography of Mayor Jejomar “Jojo” C. Binay…for President!
– born on November 11, 1941.

– National President of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Laban
(PDP-Laban).
– National President of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines.
– He studied at the Philippine Normal College Training
Dept., UP Preparatory High School and despite financial
constraints, earned a bachelor’s degree in political
science and Bachelor of Laws from UP (LIB).
– He passed the bar exam in 1968, and took masteral
subjects in public administration and law in UP and in
UST, respectively.
– Binay graduated to the parliament of the streets. He
joined the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) and the
August Twenty-One Movement (ATOM), formed shortly after
the assassination of Ninoy Aquino in August 1983.
– He also helped found the Movement of Attorneys for
Brotherhood, Integrity and Nationalism, Inc. (MABINI), a
group of progressive lawyers that include the late
Senator Lorenzo Tañada, Sen. Wigberto Tañada, former Sen.
Rene Saguisag and Sen. Joker Arroyo.
– After the EDSA Revolution, President Corazon C. Aquino
appointed Binay acting mayor of Makati. Binay was
Aquino’s first appointed local official.[2]
– was later elected mayor of Makati in 1988, during the
first free elections under the Aquino administration, and
was reelected in 1992 and 1995.
– He was also appointed Governor of Metro Manila in 1987 in
concurrent capacity and was later elected by his peers in
Metro Manila as Chairman of the Metro Manila Authority.
– joined pro-democracy forces in thwarting the mutinies.
His active role in the defense of the Constitution earned
him the nickname “Rambotito” (or little Rambo, after the
screen hero), the Outstanding Achievement Medal and a
special commendation from President Aquino herself.
– His strengths as a mayor include his determination to
provide quality education for all Makati residents.
Makati public schools are among the best public schools
in the Philippines, comparable to most private schools in
terms of facilities and instruction.
– The local government of Makati, under Binay’s leadership
has built pre schools, elementary/high schools and
special education schools throughout Makati. The public
school students’ books, school materials and school
uniform are also subsidized by the local government.
Binay also issued the first local government health card,
called the “yellow card” to Makati residents which cover
a certain amount of hospitalization costs. He was also
the first to introduce free movie tickets to senior
citizens subsidizing the costs wherein senior citizens
could watch movies at Makati malls.

military stockades.

Planning.
– He was senior executive fellow of the John F. Kennedy
School of Government at Harvard University. [29]

World. In an on-line poll organized by CityMayors.com,
Binay placed 4th overall behind John So of Melbourne,
Australia, Job Cohen of Amsterdam, Netherlands and
Stephen R. Reed, Harrisburg, USA.
…to be continue… Mayor J.Binay is the only 2010 Presidential aspirant na nananatiling opposition at dignidad sa sarili. MABUHAY ka Mayor JB, ikaw ang pag-asa ng maralitang Masang Pilipino!
iwatcher,rose tama kayo para sa akin si Bgen Danilo Lim kc nasa kanya ang 2nay na pagbabago sa ating bansa.
Gordon is a DICK!!!
He is full of shit, full of air!
Erap-Binay or Escudero is good. With Legarda’s sinking rate, she may agree to be anyone’s running mate including with Erap.
Ping Lacson is out. Manny Villar may end up with Kiko Pangilinan. Roxas is negotiating with Ping to be his running mate. Teodoro would either back out at the last minute or agree to be the running mate of whoever the administration picks. A Noli-Teodoro ticket is possible.
This blogsite is definitely opposition dominated. But judging by how the commenters will vote, it looks like Gloria’s anointed one will run away with the pot.
Tsk tsk tsk.
We have eleven months to agree on one common candidate, guys. Let’s just set the rules before we agree. First, no unverifiable chismis or haka-haka – walang sabi ng kapitbahay ko… Let’s get the facts straight no matter how devastating but let’s dwell more on the positives – achievements, gov’t service record, credentials, you know what I mean. The mudslinging will surely be a part of it but let’s get the candidate a chance to address those issues.
Then we go to their program of gov’t. Etcha-puwera yung walang plano. Let’s analyze if he/she has the capability to do it.
Then, most importantly, let’s ask what he plans to do with all the crimes of Gloria and her ilk. This will determine if he/she has the balls to enforce justice. It will also be necessary to know who his future cohorts will be.
I’m not exactly an Erap supporter or fan. But it would be good to let him continue his programs. He was untimely ousted and unable to do much for the country. Most of all, if the opposition fails to unite, Erap is the best option…unless you want an administration candidate to win.
Walang problema kung administration candidate ang manalo basta idinaan sa malinis na bilangan/eleksyon, hindi ‘yung “ang dagdag, ang dagdag” na dahilan para magkaletse-letse ang Pinas.
Kung magpupumilit is Erap na kumandidato uli sa pagkapangulo, at wika ng kunyari ay hinditagasuporta niya subalit walang bukambibig kundi siya, aba’y para na tayong dumampot ng ipinampunas na sa puwit upang linisin ang dumi natin sa nguso!
mar roxas for me! although medyo negative ang dating ni korina based on her past issues, sana nga nag-mature na sya. if the opposition are to support a single candidate, sana si Mar na. yung iba bakla, I mean .. kung desidido ka mag-presidente, i-declare mo na. hindi yung madami pang dahilan na sinasabi.
Kung hindi tutuloy si Ping, konti lang ang pagpipilian ko, si Mar at Dick. Wala akong paki kay Korina, kayang-kaya ‘yan ni Mama Judy. Si Kate naman ay kilala ng pamilya ko, walang problema sa awayan, 🙂 .
Cocoy, hinihintay ko pa na magdeklara ng war si Dick kay Gloria!
Si Binay ay OK din sa akin pero mukhang masyadong mahina ang dating sa mga liblib na pook kung saan merong “ang dagdag, ang dagdag”.
Ang mga pangalan na binanggit ko ay may solid achievements. Pero, pag-aaralan ko silang mabuti dahil this election (kung meron man) is very precious to me.
I also need to hear their plata porma de gobyerno.
No second chance for Erap, he bungled it by not acting/deciding fast…
No to Chiz, Noli, Loren, Villar, Gibo at etc.
I heard Dick is a Dicktator. He always insists on what he wants. Also, he’s fickle minded like a woman. And if he becomes the President, expect the rainy season all the year.
Erap is an actor. For all we know, he could just be acting by saying he wants to run. In politics, there’s what we call bluffing and strategy. But whether you believe in him or not, no one can deny that his support and endorsement is crucial to any candidate.
As for Ping, he’s in for a deep trouble with Mancao and Dumlao’s arrival to testify against him on the Dacer murder case….plus the fact that Ping lacks financial resources and political base. He blew his chance last 2004. If he only agreed to be FPJ’s Vice, he would have been our President today.
News analysis: Is Mancao’s return part of con-ass plan?
The return of a fugitive could just be the movement of a pawn to protect the queen. The timing of Cezar Mancao’s arrival Thursday morning, so soon after the approval of the House of Representatives’ con-ass resolution, is either an uncanny coincidence or part of an elaborate plan by the administration to stay in power.
Gloria is banking on the fact that madaling lokohin ang mga Filipino.
Bibili lang siya ng 1 million copies ng newspaper na may fabricated and paid headline, “Mancao accuses Ping Lacson of Dacer murder” tapos distributed sa buong Maynila (hindi sa buong Pinas iyon) — ayos!!!
Naloko na naman niya ang mga Pinoy.
Alam niya madaling paikot-ikutin ang mga tao, lalo na iyong mga gutom — madaling mahilo and gutom at pag hilo na, surrender na, wala ng laban.
Civil society naman, alam ni Gloria na maraming warped ang moral compass ng marami sa kanila kaya para sa kanya, hindi problema ang civils society.
Sa militar, mas madali ang panloloko. Alam niya na maski mga duwag ang militar, maraming Pinoy na madaling magulat at matakot sa militar, kaya binilhi niya lahat ang militar (puwera iyong incarcerated)para to play a comedy – kunyari dangerous pero dangerous lang sa sarili nila.
What Pinoys don’t realise is that the military is the least fearsome of all the agencies. Mas nakakatakot ang mga pulis kaysa sa militar. Pangsiklab lang ni Gloria ang militar pero sa totoo lang, walang mga bayag. Puro doble supot. Matapang lang ang mga iyan kapag nangkikidnap ng mga estudyante lalo na kung babae.
Kaya sabi ko ang mga Pinoy madaling maloko ni Gloria.
@ BE: “As for Ping, he’s in for a deep trouble with Mancao and Dumlao’s arrival to testify against him on the Dacer murder case….plus the fact that Ping lacks financial resources and political base. He blew his chance last 2004. If he only agreed to be FPJ’s Vice, he would have been our President today.”
Couldn’t agree more BE, Ping, like Gloria has this “what I want I get” attitude. Kahit mahirap pipilitin pa din para lang makuha ang gusto. Ping may not be as corrupt as Gloria but this type of attitude I mentioned is kinda scary, don’t you think? Can’t take no for an answer type silang dalawa. Buti nalang di rin siya naging pangulo.
Yes, Mike. Pride sometimes destroys a person. Now that Mancao is here, the best thing for Ping is to run as Vice President. In the first place, he’s way behind in the surveys. A Roxas-Lacson team is good. Erap-Lacson is not possible if Erap really runs since the two have a falling out since the 2004 election. But Erap-Lacson team is a very strong one.
Mar Roxas is being pushed by the Establishment (the old elite, mass media, big business). What bothers me is that he looks like he belong to the invertebrate specie of political animals (Ana de Brux is right: look at his track record — wimpy, spineless and opportunistic at every turn). The oligarchs will prefer Roxas because he stands for status quo, seemingly clean (baka nasa loob ang kulo?) and will play by their rules.
Plus Korina Sanchez, EWWWWWWWWW.
Disclosure: I am betting on Villar, despite the exposes on him. He has the willpower and at least to me, the right intentions (the heart).
Ping withdraws from running for prez in 2010, so how many “real” opposition candidates are left?
Erap
Chiz
Mar
Loren
Binay
B/Gen. Lim
If only Erap withdraws, and his support will go to the one getting the highest ratings in survey. Tapos na ang boxing even against Kabayan. To be very honest, all of the above is ok with me, as long as the midget and her lackeys will be wiped out.
I see a 6-way fight for the top post in 2010, if elections pushes thru..,
Gibo
Gordon
Chiz or Loren (depends on NPC)
Villar
Kabayan
Mar
Bayani is considered a nuisance candidate.
I doubt Erap will still run (I hope he doesn’t)
