The person I had in mind is not even declaring candidacy. Neither is he active in Philippine politics now. But he seems to be a good and intelligent figure who can repair this country from the reign of greed. He is Serge Osmena of Cebu. I hope he would stand up for the country.

Well, I'll go for Eddie Villanueva. He ran in the previous election but was cheated. I hope this time, we'll have a fair and honest election. Well, he is an upright person. I think it's really time to have a leader who is God fearing and who can really help people. A leader who won't just declare promises but fulfill it. With the economy we have right now and with the status of many people, our country is really in need of a righteous leader who is not politically oriented but people minded one. A president who will hear voices of people regardless of the status they have, a fair leader, one who will not love money.

As to righteousness and intelligence, he may be in contention. As to political following, it remains to be seen. Actual experience might be necessary. He is a good candidate though, somebody to be considered for a tough job.

I haven't really thought of anyone in particular. I still have to wait if Kabayan declares his candidacy.

Kabayan had been an outstanding broadcaster. He pails though as a legislator and much is to be desired as Vice-President. Do you think he can be a decisive president? His goodness is unquestionable but his abilities might be lacking for the top post of the land.

For me i stick with Manny Villar, because he is my kababayan here in Las PiƱas City, he has a heart for the poor people, he has an strong personalities and firm in his decision, and help other people to do some business.

Hi Preciousgem, what about the shades of gray like the double insertion? That is of prime importance in a country beset by greed, don't you think?
