So who is it gonna be for you?
The 2010 Presidential elections is just around the corner, and you can “practice” voting for your bet in this mock poll I created. Please do vote. Thanks!
Just a few months to go and we’ll elect a new President of the Philippines! My wife and I barely made the deadline for comelec registration by a couple of weeks. Now it’s time to decide who to vote for…hmmm…may mapagpilian kaya?
Honestly, it’s hard to pick who we’ll vote for. The more popular option nowadays is to go for Noynoy. No doubt about his sincerity and honesty, but is he cut for the job? I mean, if the late President Cory hadn’t passed away, Noynoy wasn’t even considered in the running. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ninoy and Cory. I believe Ninoy would have been a great President, and I’m still awed by his speeches when I watch them in youtube. But Noynoy is not Ninoy, and isn’t Cory either.
Erap, well, although he shows decent marks in the surveys, he’s no longer an option, for me. Period.
Manny Villar, wow, the “mahirap” advocate. But I strongly disagree with his battlecry, “ang laki sa hirap lang ang mag-aahon sa atin mahihirap.” As if only those who lived in the slums have the golden heart to help. And coming from someone who had expensive aesthetic “procedures” at the same time carrying ducks, fish etc. Just doesn’t jive.
Gibo, in paper, seems to be the most “intelligent” choice. But then again, plagued by his alliance with the administration, how different would Gibo then be from GMA?
And there are the “other” aspirants…Gordon, Villanueva, and even BF, whose motivations and intent to lead the country may be admirable, but seem to lack enough “machinery” and “support” and thus their “win-ability” is in question.
How I wish there is someone in the running with the brilliance of Ferdinand Marcos, the passion, zeal and charisma of Ninoy, the simplicity and honesty of Cory, the idealism and faith of a true Christian on fire. Sad to say, among the hopefuls, there is no one who posses all traits. Some wannabees have some of the traits but lack the rest.
The Presidency is a position ordained by God. Who ever wins, by deduction, is ordained by God. We need to pray as a nation that God will ordain and raise up the President who is fully submitted and devoted to Him. We need a President who can unify the Philippines and take us to the promised land. We need a President who can slay down giants and at the same time can take care of the people like a shepherd. We need a President who can inspire the people into a frenzy. We need a President willing to accept his mistakes and make amends for such. We need a President after God’s own heart. We need a King David.
