Gov. Grace Padaca For President?

If this is true and she really is a good leader, then she has what it takes to become president. She is capable by the description you just gave. A perfect example of one becoming a President.

I knew that lady. I saw her on tv during the time when she's still running for governor in Isabela. I heard all you've mentioned about her in one tv documentary show and from that time on I really admire her. Though she's been a polio victim but it didn't stop her to pursue her dream. Even with her situation she can still help and protect people. With her intelligence and guts she really deserve all the awards she received. Grace Padaca for president? Why not..

no.. not yet... need more experience. shes good though and i like her.. but she need more time to learn how politics in the phils work.. need more power and confidence not that she's lacking.. being a president has a lot of responsibilities and controversies..

she's not your ordinary politician.. she stand by what she believe is right and fight for the filipinos right

I too was impressed by her courage and determination to stand on her ground and fight with her beliefs. I was again impressed when she fought with the big political dynasty in her province and she successfully won the seat over the influential family.

My concern is just the arena where she will be joining. She has not been exposed as a political figure on a nationwide coverage like those that are vying for the position. Although she might be clean I might say she might just be swallowed by these big politicians that may undermine her political ambitions. I would suggest run for a higher position like congress, or even the senate. This will pave her way to the top than just jumping into the highest position. I do think that to be able to reach the top is show her ability to the rest of the country and not just her home province. It is also practical to gain a network of politicians that are looking for the same agenda as she is and use this to magnify her intentions.

She seems to be the perfect presidential candidate... and i might vote for her when she does run... but we all know that here in the Philippines... popularity counts... and she is only known in three or four provinces... and people living in the south have no idea who she is... so it is more likely that they will vote for a trapo who is popular...

But then... if people like us will campaign for her in our own little way... like through forums like this... she might have a chance... we can start now...

She may possess all the good qualities, she maybe qualified but I don't think she'll make it to presidency. I suggest she run for a congressional seat first for sure, she'll be winning as she's better known in her place. After making good with the lower house, then at the senate, show her abilities and be known and the next time around, she'll be a good president.

I think you can give me some more background of her. I still don't know who I will vote for the next year election. My last vote i think is a failure. Now i will have to research for the background of the person i will vote.

The floating of Among Ed for President and now Grace Padaca for higher position are the clear indications that there are still lots of people out there who are really seeking for good people to run our country.

Yes, I do agree. Why not Ed Panlilio for President? Why not Grace Padaca? Or anyone out there who are not "traditional politicians", who will not promote patronage politics and will not be engulfed by the tarnished political practices that we have now.

dear spoiledbrat802,

I think you are very right about this woman, she is wonderful. I've heard a lot from her, especially she is the governor of our neighbor province. I think she could go a long way.

But for now, it is not yet time to go on the national level. She needs more time and experiences to be hardened as a committed public servant.
