Ako naman, people should run if they're qualified. So, on one end, it doesn't matter if you're an artista or not, as long as you're competent. On the other end... Richard Gomez? Cesar Montaņo? MANNY PACQUIAO? Holy Sh*t!
psycho: dont feel sorry for me. it's my choice. At talagang wala akong balak na gawin ang lahat ng possible kong magagawa para sa bansa. Gawin ko ang lahat na posibleng paraan? well that is way too for me ambitious to accomplish. if I dont have family to support, life to take care, or dreams to reach. baka pwede ko ibigay ang LAHAT. Pero hindi e, iba ang situwasyon ko. May umaasa sa akin., e. Di pepwede. Ang kaya ko lang gawin ay makibahagi at gawin ang aking bahagi. Now if you think masyadong maliit yan, pasensya ka!
Sa ngayon ang kaya ko lang gawin para sa botohan ay bumoto ng naaayon sa aking kunsensya at ipagdasal na maging maayos ang lahat.
please... we have to do something.. if we could choose wisely.. para kahit papaano tumino tong Pilipinas.... iboto natin yung may nagawa para sa atin.. hindi yungnag papalan ona paalisin yungmga nasa gobyerno at nakikipag away at gumagastos ng pera kasi dinaya daw...hay....
But don't get me wrong. I know Democracy, as a system of governance, is flawed. The weaknesses are on display right here in the Philippines. But then, I dare anybody to show me a system that worked perfectly. It's the people factor; as long as people run government, it will always be flawed.
Ha.
So where does that leave us? We go back to the private sector. It's up to us to be vigilant, to demand for change, and to make our own opportunities. It's that simple.
Campaign jingles corrupt the minds of the innocent. Playing these on public places should be banned, meaning never play them at all! Bingi lang ang magsasabing hindi crapola ang mga campaign jingles.
kaya nga ako, sa Sid Meier's civ, i always choose Monarchy.. Para King, este Queen ako, and what I say goes ... :D
great discussion here, keep it coming.. we need this to open up our minds and bounce ideas and opinions.. basta walang personalan or below the belt...
mello said: -->I do not know whether I heard this right (probably not for I was awake for 40+ hours straight): "76 million Filipinos die due to tuberculosis every day" - Alan Peter Cayetano. Another yes. I am likely to die today. i believe that you really think before you act.. and i admire you for that
ed angara, totoo ba yung ad na yun with sarah geronimo? as in has he really done those? medyo hindi kasi ako makapaniwala.. and i don't trust his face.. i don't think i'll vote for him.. pero undescided pa .. sa ngayon, im leaning more on not voting for him..
tessie oreta: parang andami nyang ads sa tv.. di ba may limit sa exposure time? it was very bold and daring for the 'why did you dance' ad.. pero looks ok.. and if you guys noticed, wala sya masyado suot na make-up.. plain look baga.. :D looks good on her.. she actually looked younger.. undecided ako..
mike defensor: for some reason medyo naiinis ako sa kanya, ewan ko, is it his face? pero i might vote for him, not sure pa..
jamalul kiram: as much as i want to vote for him for him to be able to represent the muslim community, i just don't see enough credibility on him e.. convince nya muna ako..
cesar montano - not voting for him.. i dont think he has what it takes to be our senator and that's irregardless of him being an actor. parang from out of the blue na lang, tatakbo sya? grabe ha, mag start ka man lang sa barangay captain.. or kagawad,...
vicente magsaysay - i don't know him.. does any of you do? what has he done? what are his credentials?
pichay - medyo corny yung ad nya, pero parang hindi kapani-paniwala for me.. i guess kulang sya sa charm para mapaniwala nya ako sa mga sinabi nya.. i want to see proof..
ralph recto - parang mas marami pang nagawa si V e.. i don't like his attitude with regards to the issue between his bro and V. has he done anything while he was a senator? as in really?
singson - NO WAY!!! You should also be in jail.. kapal..
tito sotto - i dont think so.. wala akong nakitang ginawa nyang matino..
zubiri - hmm.. though i think his ad jingle doesn't suit him... i might vote for him..
not voting for legarda.. grabe.. i think if ever mag-artista sya, mananalo sya ng best actress award.. sayang ang credentials nya,.. i don't like her actions for the past years... tsk tsk tsk.. i don't see in her that she wants to serve the country, what i see is she wants power,, which i won't give her
goma - not voting for him.. kulang din sa gawa..
honasan - might vote for him.. kahit na medyo troublemaker sya.. i think he is a good person..
coseteng - maganda lang sya.. what has she done?
lacson - hmm.. though i dont like him that much,,, i might vote for him.. para may opposition naman.. hehe..
trillanes - no way
john osmena - i don't know you.. pare=pareho kayo ng apelyido, don't think na just because nanalo ang mga ninuno nyo mananalo din kayo. prove it .
chiz - i hate himm.. i don't want to vote for him..
cayetano - same as chiz.. magsama sila..
noynoy - you might be an aquino, and though i like kris, i don't think i'll vote for you.. pero baka mag bago pa isip ko.. baka..

what's the deal about the partylists? everywhere, i see lots of posters for a certain partylist asking for my vote but it looks like parang nakikigulo lang sila.. ano ba ang nagagawa ng mga partylist?
Here's the deal with party list they are said to be the voice of what their party represent. For example lets take UTAK1, which is the partylist for drivers and commuters they are said to support lowering the price of fares and keeping gas prices at a fair price. Sa tutoo lang what's the use of partylists? Feeling ko tuloy ang taxes ko ay napupunta lamang sa pagsusuporta sa mga bagay na ndi ko talaga gusto.. It's like I'm giving my hard earned money for the rallies that I so f*cking hate.

Mello: Ah yes, Cesar Montano... No, I didn't miss putting his name on those lists, it was really ommited. You see, I respect him as a film practitioner, and from what I hear, he's a pretty good man. Will I vote for him? Most probably not, but he doesn't belong to my "No way in hell" list either.
S2 and Twisted: Mrs Roco, like her late husband, is a big bitch.
Great list Cow, I should make mine too.. Para pag dating ng elections... :D
mello: putol pala yung reply ko sa post mo above... i meant to say na malabo yung statistics na yun kasi there are around 80million pinoys as of now... if 76 million die daily, grabe naman ata yun.. kahit na napakataas ng birthrate natin, hindi kayang palitan!!! :D
For me, useless pa rin mga partylists.. tapos kung ano anong grupo nag susulputan.. kunwari for a certain type of people, but im sure, that their own interest lang din ang aasikasuhin nila..
To follow Cow's Format:
Etched in stone (100%):
* Joker Arroyo * Kiko Pangilingan
Baka pwede (51-99%):
* Prospero Pichay * Gringo Honasan * Ralph Recto * Manny Villar * Mike Defensor
voting for party lists... I usually vote for a partly list geared to health services. I don't vote those who are always out on the streets doing rallies, making noises. If the partylist i voted for didn't win, it's ok. At least it's the group i feel could make better than just protests.
ewan ko nga e,, parang andami nila .. can anyone please post a complete list here? better yet, start a new thread: Politics - Party Lists.. Para itong thread na ito, specifically for senatoriables.. :)
Yep. My Mama is one of those teachers who canvass the votes, she says that you have to fill the 12 ballot line to prevent fraud. Unfortunately the last time I checked there is about 50+ party list groups vying for a share of the proverbial pork.
