I was turned-off by Gordon's interview

Even at the very start of his declaration to run as President I don't like him, I did not even vote for him when he run for senator much more for President.Of course he would admire America because he is an Amboy (American boy), he is always proud of his pedigree and comparing Philippines to marry is a fatal approach, I don't like him a bit. I think it doesn't matter what are his accomplishment in Subic, that's a big difference when you are leading a whole nation, it should talk about integrity and commitment to Philippine freedom and democracy and honesty to promote good governance. I am not impressed with him anyway.

Eversince, Gordon is arrogant. Personally I do not like his term "kayong mga Pilipino" whenever he have interview. Why does he called us as such, isn't he a Filipino too?. I believe it has to be "Tayong mga Pilipino!" Gordon is always pro US. That makes me wonder maybe he is a US Citizen or an insider? He have more plans for the country, maybe he can lead but we do not know unless he do it. But he will not get my vote.

In terms of unity, I don't think any presidential candidate can do that. Filipinos are too stubborn to boot. If he does win the elections, I only hope and pray that he can enforce the same kind of discipline in Subic everywhere in the country. I remembered around fifteen or eighteen years ago whenever we would go to Subic for our outings, we would visit SBMA to do some souvenir shopping. And SBMA was known at that time as a place where you could buy imported goods at a much cheaper price. But they are very strict with traffic rules and the enforcers are always quick to spot who was the tourist amongst the vehicles running around. We always rented a jeepney for these kind of trips and I recall that we always wound up the administration building to get our driver's drivers license because he was not following traffic rules! It was the same every year, with different drivers. So if he can do the same here in Manila, we would not have to sit through hour long traffics just getting to and from work.

I was surprised to hear that from you. Well I supposed there is this rumor going on around that even his VP Bayani seems to have distance himself from him. Anyway, I do hope that we can get a good President and a VP as well this coming election. WE could only wait till May 10 before the final verdict will be delivered and God Help our Nation for the one we will choose on that day.

Hmmm...I'm still for Gordon. Simply because he helped my family at a time in our lives when were going through some legal stuff that has to do with an accident that almost got me killed when I was 4. But I respect everyone's opinion here as I want mine to be treated ;D

He's still my bet no matter what. He may have sounded so braggart or what but he has a right to be anyway. He has achieved so much. With regards to the issue of BF, well they had an argument which makes me sad because it brought a gap between them. I used to admire their tandem but now, I don't know.

Maybe he was just being honest, don't you think? Maybe you area hurting because you are from Marikina and you like BFernando? Would your opinion of Gordon change if you hear BF admits that he really went to BF?

He was supposed to get my vote, but I changed it right after I have learned that he is the number one among the running presidents in liabilities. I find this, a bad indication hence He might used our money to pay all his debts.

Nothing beats his wits. A person who has LESS to hide can really look at you straight in the eye and tell you what you NEED to hear. His arrogance really is his downside but should we only look at the downsides? I said less to hide because I do not think a person's totally got nothing to hide. You, me, everyone....we all have our own secrets we cannot tell the public. It's true what he said: walang kandidatong magaling I was and am for Gordon. Lately, what is happening is that the picture has turned into a battle between Noynoy and Villar. We are forced to choose between the two alone. Our horizons have been narrowed down to just two top candidates. Even the COMELEC is secretly endorsing Yellow. Now I am confused, and torn between two choices: Will I vote for someone because I believe he is the right one? Or will I vote for Noynoy just so Villar can't win?

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Well at least you know that he is not fitted to be the next ruler and you still have the chance to research and study further which is able to lead our country to end corruption, poverty and unemployment. I never did like Gordon in the first place. Pardon for those who are for him, i respect your candidate. I am just stating my own opinion here. If a person cannot answer in detail much about controversial issues and still has problems on his own platform and personality, then never go vote for such a candidate. I did hear much about Presidentiables when I happen to hear most of GMA 7 news from Ikaw na Ba, Kandidato, Vote book and more which is really not bias and I am happy that GMA 7 did this so that the public would know whom to vote. You can watch some of the debates and interviews on youtube. Anyway, I would vote someone who has the passion for the country and fears God first and foremost. I still know that there is hope for us to rise up as a nation with dignity...BANGON PILIPINAS, may Pag-asa pa... (Rise Up Philippines, there is still hope).

Glad you saw through this guy whose arrogance defies his height. He actually believes he is VIP at all times. He talks with a twang which I think Ateneo professors would never give a good grade to. He always talks about Subic. What about Olongapo where he and his wife had been mayors. Can he claim that Olongapo now is a city to see? I doubt.

I also was considering him for president since I have seen how he had acted during difficult times. He is a man of action, fearless, and with strong leadership skills. However, after what you have said, I am now having second thoughts. I have not seen the interview so it is hard for me to judge.

I wasn't able to watch the interview (I was busy mylotting) but I was listening to it (the TVs here at home are really loud). I didn't like that part about Bayani too. I'm not from Marikina but I used to live there for a year only, I live near Marikina now, But I am rooting for Bayani as well. Gordon was just "dragged" into my list because of Bayani. Another turn-off was when he told Karen Davila in a loud, semi-shouting frustrated/angry voice "You're not listening to me" I could tell by the way Karen Davila paused before answering, she was pissed! too bad I wasn't able to see here expression He's smug and too proud. Probably because he's done great things. He's always referencing the U.S. because most of those who were blessed enough to visit the states could really see the difference there and here. and you could feel that in Subic too. I think he'll lead the country well, but I am SURE Bayani will be able to LEAD the country BETTER! Gordon will be able to fix this problem because unlike the past and current presidents, he has the will to do it. He doesn't care if he isn't popular. He's kinda like BF, only, again, I repeat, BAYANI is better.

Yeah I don't know why he keeps on bragging the other presidential candidates for my own personal view He envied him because he is on top and he wish he was in his position. He is really depress I never thought Gordon to say such things in order to gain vote, but he just stained his name by answering out of the question and pin pointing out a name.

I'm still on the fence as well as to who I should vote for this elections. my mom would always tell me to choose the lesser evil, but lately I've been asking myself if it's even worth choosing the lesser evil, in my eyes right now they are all the same. and then here comes Gordon in an interview saying we should not choose the lesser evil, I found that a bit arrogant. I mean come on, is there really someobody who has not been the least evil in politics?

I didn't get the chance to see that interview. I'm actually weighing my conscience view between him and noynoy. Paulo Bediones did ask him if he is truly easily angered by jokes or jests (pikon) and in my opinion i think he is, most of the times. From the tune of how he answer and make comments of something against him. He may have good platforms for this country but if he will always argue with others opinion then again nothing will change in the system.

Well me too, i was considering him to be my bet for the president but when i saw that interview, o wow, he's really arrogant...so sorry i better not have a president than to have an arrogant like him.

Gordon has done a lot of things that is actually good for the subic alone. But I don't think that he can do it to the whole philippines. For me, our president should be trustworthy and honest
