never again to an erap presidency! we've had enough. filipinos never learn though, many are still going gaga and crazy over erap. they're still believing that erap is for the poor when in fact, erap is just exploiting the poor and the poverty of the people. voting for a convicted criminal, a plunderer, is yes, a plain and simple stupidity.

Erap is not convicted criminal and plunderer, my friend. The only case that convict him is hueteng...Court did not find any evidence that erap is a criminal and plunderer. We cannot blame our poor people if they vote for erap, again. Because they think erap, will only be their last resort to help them...But I like Binay not Erap. Have a nice day!

Erap is not convicted with plunder. He is only convicted of accepting bribes from hueteng and perjury. They find no evidence in that case...

yes he was and he is. erap was a convicted criminal (criminal case no. 26558)--he was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of plunder (violating republic act no. 7080 or the anti-plunder law) by the sandiganbayan on sept. 12, 2007, don't you remember it? it was a big news and the decision of the court was even televised and watched by the nation. erap was jailed. he was to serve his crime with reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment but GMA pardoned him! you can read all about erap's crime and case in this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Joseph_Estrada

ohhhh NO NO NO! Please Filipinos! No more big mistake! Show that you are intelligent enough to vote.... ohh, how i don't like politics! long time no see Aerous...and sorry as i don't like to imagine Erap getting into the presidency again. I am not against him nor hated him even when millions cursed him before but i believed he had done nothing to our country but disaster... Oh how I pity our country being fooled by popularity

In my opinion, my friend. People is not fooled by popularity. People seeking only who's really their Robin Hood. Due to the injustice system of the present government. If the present government done more to the needy I think they are not seek some people they think who cares them more...This is due to poverty not popularity. Have a nice day!

I have no questions on Binay's capability to run because he has some kind of a good track record with how he managed to make Makati a premier city in Metro Manila. But as for Erap I really have doubt if he should run for the presidency anymore. I think his case although pardoned by the present government is still effectively as guilty as he is. I really think that he should not run anymore. He could guide the opposition but never aspire of returning back to the palace anymore

Its not about the elite since Erap belongs to the elite people masking as pro poor but he himself belong to the elite group of people.

I know that he is belong to the elite group but most of the alliance of Gloria, then is an elite personalities that funding those people rally against Erap. All materials to press down Erap, then is provided by elite personalities to make sure Erap, was comes out to be bad in sight of the people...So they are successfully oust Erap...

I also doubt about Erap, if he is capable of run the country again. Because in the past two years of his administration will see how people love him but elite personalities don't want him to be in the position. If he win again I think he will remove again by the elite group using their money to pay more rallyist in the street...

Any tandem can be good however, by the time erap submit his candidacy, the comelec will disqualify him under the rule that no elected president is allowed to seek the position twice.if they do that, this question will be decided in the supreme court. just my opinion.

I dont know much about the law and I said its only my opinion. And going back to my statement with laydee, read the words carefully, I did not mention that the poor are foolish, I said" they can be fooled by money". I even mention that any tandem is good, did I said any disappointment with the government? I am discussing what a politician is,I have even heard a sentiments from a neighbor that during the campaign the politician was willing for a handshake and when he was voted, you are not allowed to see him anymore. My only comment with erap was he wont win and that is again an opinion. And if later that he wins its good for him and hopefully that he'd learned his lesson what a president must be. But anyway the discussion was healthy, have a good day Aerous.

I appreciate your opinion, my friend. Even me this is my opinion and understanding about the law and the provision of the constitution. Erap is under de jure government. His is not finished his terms because he oust from office by force where the constitution did not allow...

In my opinion is that Erap, is not disqualified because under the constitution the only president that serve four year terms. Erap is serve only two years in office and the constitution provide xxx that no president shall seek no re-election if the terms of office can be served....Have a nice day!

I only could say one thing, the people who's going to re-elect Erap again is stupid or has some loose screws in their heads. If I have a lot of money, I would really spread the word of not voting this elections. I refuse to vote anymore and I suggest everyone should do so. The government of the Philippines is playing games with their people. They vote in actors and actresses and media people just because they're visual on television. I know no government or politician is corrupt, but who cares now. I'm even thinking that if ever Willie of Wowowee would run, he'd win. Whew. God bless us all.

I appreciate your opinion, my friend. But whatever your disappointment about the government. Just remember that to vote is our responsibility to choose the right people seated in the government. Election is only the way to change the government and that is through your vote that count...Willie is not fit for the position. But I heard he is invited as Manny Villar, running mates...have a nice day!

Hello edujccz, I don't know if there are people being die because of Erap, foolishness. Erap is good for the people most especially the poor and I think those people is not fool. You know my friend, smart people is sometimes being fool and fool people sometimes being smart. Don't under estimate those people you are calling fool because they are also a part of our community...You must protect them instead of discriminating them...Have a nice day!

I know Willie, as irresponsible in all the aspect of life. He is always suspended by the MTRCV because of his words that he never thinks if that is really hurt others or not...Our poor people is the real victims in that case because in their hope to get some they get disasters...We should learn that we don't much align in those show who gives money that to show how we are very much fool because of money...The show of Willi is not educational and I see it very destructive to lives of every individual because their rights is not respected in there...

Binay perhaps but not Erap. Erap had his time, and it was not good. Given his age, i think it's about time he retire and enjoy life as a civilian or he can just go acting. We need young blood in politics to get rid of the old trapos.

Binay also my bet because i think he is strong enough to make the development of this country. Have a nice day!

Seriously I think Erap should no longer run for presidency. He had his time. So that would answer if this is a good tandem. My opinion regarding Binay is different. I think he can run a country. If he was able to run his Makati city fairly well I think he will have a chance to better the Philippines. Never have I seen a place where bus and jeepney drivers follow the loading and unloading signs except in Makati. Or that people who has no money can simply go to the publick Makati hospital and they would get treatment for free or for a minimal cost only.

If you read the constitution,my friend. The only specific terms there is no re-election for those served their terms in office. Erap is only two years in office and the constitution is clear...no re-election for those succeeded or finished their terms in more than four years. If Erap, is finished four year terms of office he is no longer seek re-election. But in his case...He only served two years...This is my views, my friend. Just wait for the interpretation of the supreme court about this case...

This is a good tandem, I guess. But I think that it would be better if they did it during Erap's first attempt. Now that Erap magic is almost impossible, its legality will just make him more popular in the masses. But then, I don't think he will win again especially that Noynoy has the more maigc this time. By the way, I made a post about Erap's announcement in which here is the link with the video - http://angelcuala.blogspot.com/2009/10/erap-for-president-in-2010-confirmed.html

We admit that erap, has the power to gain support from the people most especially from the poor. But I don't think if he win the legality of his re-election...?

hello aeros, I don't know much about binay besides the fact that he's working in the Opposition but maybe he needs more experiences. as for Erap, forget it. people should rally again if erap wins the Presidential elections. he's been into politics since Marcos time can he just give it up and move on helping the poor on his own? oh, well, it's gonna be one heck of the Elections.

Hello LetranKnight25, Erap is not ousted in office if not because of the businessmen and gloria ally that funding of his outed in office then. People going into rally then is fool by money of rich people. But if Erap, is wise enough in that particular event in his life...He is not ousted from office. He maybe prefer to run because he learn from his mistake and try his luck again that if he win. He is not allowed that the past happening in his life will not happen again... Binay is strongman, my friend. He is good leader I think...Have a nice day!
