Pinoys! It's been a year since we last voted. What if it wasn't Noynoy who won?

It's been a year. We voted for a president that is Benigno Aquino Jr. I think he's performing just fine. But what do you think is our status now hadn't he won it? What if it was Manny Villar? Erap? Eddie V.? Please share your thoughts.

THAT'S EASY! Erap would have WON and this entire country would have been thrown in SHAME for another six years because we threw him out and voted him BACK?!!! Would have still preferred Gibo Teodoro and Richard Juicio Gordon winning instead. the fact is it's all behind me and don't wanna vote again, it's useless for petes sake.

Yeah, and we would be the laughing stock of the whole world for bringing back into power the President we have overthrown. But then, in retrospect, President Erap has done a lot of good during his time. Salary increases, the elimination (almost) of rebels, and the fair practices in the economy. It is rumored that the last two caused him his post because the war in Mindanao is used as milking cow by some parties I would rather not mention while the elite and powerful few cannot exert due influence on the President back then, hence putting their self-interest in great peril.

I just can't believe he went on second rank after Noynoy Aquino i could not believe it. it means majority are nothing more than blinded by his freaking movies! unfortunately, i don't like talking about the past because it really makes me sick knowing that these people care nothing more than just something to put on their belly's

if it was Manny, then by now, half of the Philippines was converted to real estates that were either acquired or bought by foreigners.. if it's erap, we will soar down fast. he's also old already to function well. if it's eddie v., there will be confusion between church and state. i don't think that a godly man should enter politics. it could either corrupt him, or the nation could be used for some purposes they will not want to be involved with. it's like oil and water not blending well.

I think I forgot somebody. Gibo. LOLS I seriously think he'd be good if it were him. I agree with what you said especially with that for Eddie V. His presidency will be a great nationwide confusion.

Tricky, tricky question. Let's see. If we have Erap, I had the nauseous feeling that we;re heading for trouble again with some FPJ one-liners on the background. His issues will be brought to light again and we will suffer to another periodic state of reliving of history that is meant to be close. If it was Eddie V., I will turn into a religious person even before he reaches 100 days, more becuase of the problems rather than strengthening my religious faith. For Manny, I think I will never hear that he won't be corrupt becuase he has a lot of money and of course, let's not forget the controversies regarding that particular topic and his business deals. For me, Gordon and Gibo are still the most promising and down-to-earth of all candidates. But I think I can only imagine in my dreams what they could have done or what issues they are facing today.

since noynoy began his term as a president, all the prices have gone up more worse than that of ex pres. GMA. The only good thing happened in his administration so far is the revelations of some of the corruption going on the AFP. in my viewpoint Manny Villar could be a more deserving candidate to be the president because he knows how it is to be a poor person, he's the only one who can understand the cries of the poor people. Well that's only my own viewpoint. jc De los reyes was a good one too but he still needs some training as a public official.
