A while ago, the Liberal Party just proclaimed Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino to be the party handler for President for the coming 2010 Philippines Presidential Election. Senator Mar Roxas giveway in lieu of Senator Noynoy Aquino for Presidency. This was announced in the Gabaldon Room of Club Filipino this 6 PM.
I am not amenable for Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino to run as president but should he run? Should he use the opened emotions of the people for his mother to run for presidency?
If the analyst will be asked, this is the best time for Noynoy to run. The commemoration of every Filipino to his parents is alive. Certainly many of votes will be based with their emotion and admiration. But is it correct?
Specifically the Filipino is emotional. Impulsively decide for things that do not fully thought. For me Senator Noynoy is still raw for presidency of this country. His skills and knowledge is not enough and can only compare him to his mother. If Senator Noynoy Aquino will be the president of this country, the first question is “will he be better president or will he be as good as his mother?”
Senator Noynoy Aquino career is under the shadow of Cory as president. He will be judged not based on his knowledge and skills but based on the standards of his mother. This is neither good for Noynoy nor good for our country.
Dont put the son of Ninoy and Cory in a situation that one day he will regret. This is because of the standards of the Filipino people that will be base to judge him.
One more thing, he is not the only one who can continue the vision of his mother because there are more capable and like her mother who will care for the democracy and love quite his compatriots.
Filipinos are always like that. They will vote that person and then a few years later they will regret voting that person and will try to impeach that person.
go for it
HOW, REALLY, DID MANUEL BAMBA VILLAR, JR. GET TO BE RICH? It may bear and serve the Filipino nation well to investigate and know that Manny Villar may actually have broken through from Tondo-ragged accountant to billionaire-rich presidentiable by allowing himself to be used as a foreign investor’s dummy in the Philippine real estate business. You see, the conduct of real estate business in the Philippines is made exclusive by law to Filipino citizens, necessarily because its affairs involve sensitive issues that affect territory, patrimony, and national security. Wasn’t that a debonair American who was smilingly visible every day at the offices of Crown Asia, Inc., way back before the Villars became political aspirants? Unfortunately, sighting American presence at the Crown Asia, Inc. organization deteriorates to zero visibility in hot election weather, especially nowadays! As Manny Villar embarked on a political career, it naturally became strategically imperative to avoid flaks of damaging controversy about being economically beholden to foreign influence, especially from nationalist camps of the likes of then Senator Teofisto Guingona Jr. who was one among legislators instrumental in passing general law limiting conduct of real estate business in the Philippines to Filipinos only. In fact, it was from 1997 to 1999 that the bespactacled, middle-aged, happy American investor (silent or express?) of Crown Asia, Inc. was last regularly observed at the 18th Floor of Cityland Herrera Tower. Most of us often have “humble,” sometimes “rotten,” beginnings; yet being transparent about such beginnings can do more good than harm. The key to the answer may reach as far back as auditing times with SGV, or perhaps good Senator Manuel Villar would like to comment on this matter at this time?
I agree. Noynoy is just using his mother to gain public sympathy. He is not capable of running this country. I hope he will not win.
I’d rather vote the vocalist of Greyhoundz or Cheese other than this guy…He’s a wallflower.
@tunaynapinoy:
yeah!!! Uhm,,how about vocalist of slapshock? LOL..Noynoy.. this guy looks retard to me, i’ll just go for MANNY VILLAR!!

i agree. i have the same thoughts. filipinos tend to select a president more on judgement based on emotions. noynoy is good, honest and clean, but it doesn’t makes him the best presidential bet. we have yet to learn to separate other things from our emotions.
