As I have seen on the news, Mar filed an electoral protest against Jejomar Binay who is currently seating as the VP. Because of that, I remembered how he fought even before the elections. I remembered his ad "Trisikad" and his marriage to Korina Sanchez- I guess it is really their plan to marry to have publicity, why can't just they do it after the election.
He topped all the surveys, and tied with Binay on the last, whom he not considered a threat.
But I'm happy that Binay won! Mar, I think, would just waste his money.

Well, the protest of Mar may be a waste of time and money.
But since it is his right to protest being the aggrieved party, then let him do his thing.
Anyway, he still got lots of money to spend for the protest.

I think he was deeply affected by his loss. I can't really say that Mar should stop because I think he has basis for his claims. I don't really support any of the two but I hope the truth will finally prevail.

I am not comfortable with Binay as vice-president although of course I respect the will of the people. There are too many whispers of his wrongdoings that does not sit well with me. Plus, this early, I can see his presidential ambitions already. Granted that he has done a lot for Makati, but why is it that the business groups don't like him? That alone makes me wonder. A president should be able to unite all classes of society. We do not need a Robin Hood president. I think we should learn from our experience from Gloria. All the efforts of the past presidents down the drain with their greed.

I respect Sen. Roxas filed electoral protest against VP Binay. It is his rights. Besides electoral protest will cleared Team Roxas and all of us if something irregularity occured last election. If electoral protest will pacify Sen. Roxas to accept his lost or maybe declare him as truly elected V-Pres let it be...

That's right! I completely agree with you. He really is wasting a big amount of money. Better give it to the poor and help them with their lives. Well, maybe he's fighting for justice and all. He so so sure of winning that race especially with all the endorsements and propagandas he made. Hope he can get over it. :D

I can recall the same fate happened to Loren when she ran against Noli De Castro and his term has not ended still the VP until the last. I certainly see this would remain the same unless he can show evidence to prove so then he was indeed cheated in the elections. I certainly hopes that the administration would not dabble in the case in favor of Mar and let him fight on with his protest like an ordinary citizen of this country.
