Noynoy Aquino continue to top the polls

Noynoy continue to lead the polls which is a proof in the pudding that he is what the Filipinos today are hoping for to bring change to the ever sinking country. They believe that the main reason for their povery is corruption and Noynoy is obviously has been proven to be not what corruption is.

Emil Jurado's attack on Noynoy's integrity is misleading and confusing especially we know that the country is great turmoil not to mention facing extreme hardships mainly due to corruptions of highly qualified and experienced government officials (kuno) today and even in the past who were even said to have excellent record and expertice but only to fail us over and over again.

 He said:

What this country needs is a President with enough experience and know-how. The challenges we face are daunting.

Certainly, anybody who claims he is “clean” is not good enough.

As I have been saying all along, the presidency is not a training ground for someone whose only qualification is that he is the son of famous parents.

Integrity is not enough. Our problems are too enormous and we need the leadership of somebody with experience and expertise.

But the opinion of Butch Abad came out to be more convincing:

Aquino’s campaign manager Butch Abad said Noynoy’s popularity is based on people’s perception of his integrity, which people equate to having a government with less corruption and more resources for their economic needs should he succeed as president.

They expect this perception to be sustained through the May elections.

“It’s not just the perception of integrity of Noynoy that endears him to the people, but also their awareness that curbing corruption means more basic services for them,” Abad said in a telephone interview with The STAR.

Abad said voters began prioritizing the integrity of presidential aspirants after the death of Noynoy’s mother, former President Corazon Aquino.

“Before the death of President Cory (Aquino) and the entry of Noynoy (in the presidential race), integrity was always below in the order of priorities of voters. They had wanted a provider. But the death of President Cory made people realize that they now want a leader who is clean and not corrupt,” Abad said.

People will decide as long as they use their own good judgment and not allow themselves to be swayed back and forth. In other words, never ever to sell their votes and then regret the outcome later.

How corrupt is Manny Villar? Watch this!

We had and still have so many corrupt leaders – the main reason why our country is in such serious hardship and turmoil, so when are we ever going to learn our lessons? Villar has not proven his innocence in this accusation, so why should we entrust our country to him. It seems like he is a “no show” to anything where he might get confronted about the issue. Watch this video!

Ralph Recto, Vilma Santos, moved to Liberal joining Noynoy and Mar

Have you heard that Ralph and Vilma Santos-Recto has decided to move to Liberal Party, from the administration to the opposition. Yes, totoo na to. Hindi naman nakakagulat dahil may mga pinag-samahan din sila. Lalong magiging maiinit ang laban, and in my opinion, the move will strengthen the already strong team of Noynoy and Mar. Kawawa naman si Luis, mahahati ang suporta para sa mommy at daddy ngayong si Edu ay lalaban bilang bise under the administration.

Tama ba ang ginawang move ng mga Rectos? Absolutely! because they will have a better future sa Liberal and the country will be better served because they will be united. o di bah?

Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo, what's wrong with you?

Cotabato bishop, Auxiliary Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo has made his early judgement of Noynoy Aquino because of the latter’s support of the Reproductive Health Bill which he co-authored in the Senate. It seems like the Bishop is either on denial or unaware of why the country is going through extreme hardships today. Obviously, the bishop is being prejudice or bias in his remark because nothing was heard from him about Erap Estrada’s un-Catholic or un-Christian ways or whatever you call it.

Another question many are asking is: if the Catholic Church is going after Noynoy Aquino for his support of the Reproductive Health Bill, why has it remained silent about former president—and possible presidential candidate—Joseph Estrada's philandering ways and his many women? Aren't those acts also a blatant violation of one of the Ten Commandments? Does this double standard exist because the Church privately condones such acts for the high and mighty be they inside or outside the Church?

The candidacy of Noynoy is a hope in waiting and almost a sure thing to expect a huge change, not only in politics but for the country as a whole. His being an Aquino may not be enough but the people’s hunger for change can be enough. Corruption is the biggest downfall that the country continues to suffer with and Noynoy/Mar team will help save billions for the Filipinos to enjoy. Enough is enough with the likes of Marcos, Estrada and Arroyo. Regardless of Noynoy’s Aquino background, his honesty, simplicity and clean records are just the much needed ingredients for the country at this critical time.

The result of the Aquino/Roxas tandem to some of the members of the opposition

Some members of the opposition said that the formal announcement of Aquino/Roxas tandem may possibly close the door to unity.
Former President Joseph Estrada said he is still determined to run in 2010 and has no plan to ask Aquino to give way. But he would like to talk to Aquino about having a single lineup for the senatorial and local positions.
Loren Legarda, on the other hand, is looking into a possible Legarda/Escudero-Escudero/Legarda tandem in which she believes will also have its strength. She also said the fight will be a friendly one but the level of debate is high and issues would be at the forefront of the campaign.
But Villar still has no team, and Escudero and Legarda both shared the same opinion that Villar will need a credible team because of the recent issues he had that affected his record in politics. But with Willie Revillame as his strong supporter, things might change for Villar.

Mar: Filipinos are hungry for change

It's now official, Noynoy and Mar are standard bearers for the Liberal Party Election 2010. The Noy-Mar tandem is the choice by the people for the people.

"This fight is not just about Noynoy and me. It’s bigger than the two of us. It’s bigger than the Liberal Party. It’s bigger than anyone of us. It is about our collective thirst for change. It is about finally overcoming those who want to continue the tayo-tayo system, the horse-trading, the greed, the self-interest, the transactional politics that has been the biggest roadblock to progress and prosperity for all," said Roxas who three weeks ago dropped his plan to run for president to give way to Aquino.

Warning to Gibo Teodoro: "No Garci repeat"

Marine Col. Ariel Querubin said Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., who has been chosen as the administration’s standard bearer for the May 2010 elections, should ensure the military will not be involved in cheating operations.

"Everybody has the right to run for any post in the government... But he (Teodoro) should not use his office to devise another cheating scandal. A repeat of `Hello Garci’ will not sit well with the rank and file of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. That will not be allowed anymore," he said.

Noynoy and the "fishball" controversy

Some bloggers were quick to react on Noynoy’s controversial “fishball” comment and were very critical of him. But this only shows the shallowness of some people who enjoys making fun of other people. They always look for things that are non-sense but the point of who and what Noynoy will be and can do for the country is easily ignored. This kind of mentality does nothing to help. It only contributes to the negativities we already have in tons in our country. Noynoy is a highly educated person and it’s not his fault if the writer made a typo (or was it intentional?), or perhaps misheard the senator but didn’t bother correcting it. But no matter what they say, Noynoy is still the one to beat. He is seen to lead the country in 2010.
