She just never gets tired of running email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines1 month ago

Loren Legarda just announced her bid for the Vice-presidency yesterday at a rally in Rizal Park. This would be her 2nd time to run for the same position. She said she is just heeding the call of the people for her to run again.. Now she did not say who will be her running mate, but we all know that it would be a Chiz-Loren tandem...

I'm just saying, doesn't she ever get tired of running for office? It's like Jamby Madrigal, who time and again, runs for presidency, but we all know that she will never win.. I don't think she doesn't know it.. that's why I don't understand why she keeps on doing the same thing over and over again...

Going back to Loren, I don't think she'll win this time. And I think if that happens, she will once again ask for a recount, and would shell out millions of pesos just to count the ballots again. Would you vote for her in the coming elections? And what do you think is the reason why she didn't win last time?

Hi there! First of all, its not only Loren nor Jamby who is very persistent on running for some sits in our government over and over again. Mainly I think is that it's their political ambition that really drives them to pursue it. She lacks of compassion to people I might say. I mean I like her being a broadcaster but not as a politician. Politician who are there because of their ambition and not because of their desire to help people will not really be a good servant. And admit it or not she is not. That is why you are right in saying she will never win.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Yep, I agree with you, Loren and Jamby are only two of the many who never get tired of running for public office... I also think she lacks the sincerity and the compassion. I think just by looking at her, you can see that the sincerity in helping our country is really missing..


myLot reputation of 84/100. joy_evaldez (211)  1 month ago

I couldn't agree more. That is why they never win on the election. People can see their lack of compassion and plain insincerity. No wonder, Philippine government always fail to make our nation better is because most politicians are self centered and corrupt.


myLot reputation of 97/100. agv0419 (2089)   ranked 27 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

I don't know why they still want to run even if they keep losing in the past elections. They have interest for sure why they keep running for the same position. They going to waste money because I'm sure they going to lost again.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

the worst thing is they spend millions of pesos even if they know that it would just go to waste.. it's a sad thing that they pay incredible amount of money for campaign.. but we have a lot of countrymen who doesn't have food on their table, or even roof on their heads. tsk.tsk.tsk. sad


myLot reputation of 84/100. joy_evaldez (211)  1 month ago

Yes. Poverty in the Philippines will continue to rise because those so called public servant does not really serve those people in need but only to appease themselves and their prides. There are many unfortunate ones that they can donate their money with instead of wasting it on the campaign they would surely lose. They are such inconsiderate, egoistic and self centered politicians who will make our nations worse than ever.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Yep, we definitely have a lot of self-centered,egoistic and (ooppss.. I forgot the last one. sorry. hehe) that would only make life harder for us. I just wish that the people will see them for who they really are, and not just what they do for show..


myLot reputation of 84/100. joy_evaldez (211)  4 weeks ago

Quite funny huh? Politicians in the Philippines is like actors and actresses in the big screen. They play the role they want to portray with but in truth, they are very far from the charcter they want to portray. In the end, once the show ends (campaign period), they will s lowly reveal their hidden personalities and persevere on their own agendas. In the end, instead of pushing some laws and legislations that will improve our countryman's condition, they delve in some conroversial cases that in all honesty will not benefit Filipinos at all. On the other note, I salute ABS for launching the 'Ako Ang Simula (Boto Mo, Ipatrol Mo). I am hoping that many of us now will be vigilant and wise enough to vote for the right candidate.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  3 weeks ago

That's true. We really need to empower the ordinary people, cause usually they are the one who see the real situation in the baranggays and towns.. We all know that all politicians ( not only in our country ) tries to be lovable and all-knowing during the campaign period, and we'll only see the real person when they take the office...

2. myLot reputation of 35/100. TheAdvocate (116)   1 month ago

I think she has deluded herself into believing that because she ends up on top of senatorial races means that she will win other public offices. She has also deluded herself into thinking that the reason she lost to Noli was because she was cheated. But then again I think that people who run for public office are deluded...


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Hahahahah! they are all crazy.. that's what I've been telling myself. lol. lol

I think it is only her ego that is bruised from the last elections, plus the recount that is pushing her to run again. Maybe she wants to prove that she can win the seat, no matter what the cost is.


myLot reputation of 84/100. joy_evaldez (211)  1 month ago

But that is a lot of money for an ego being bruised. And that means she is thinking of her own pride rather than people who might need her service. Many politicians became self centered nowadays thus, we seldom get a good public servant for our nation.

I wouldn't vote for Loren Legarda even if she is the only candidate to run for the position... i don't feel her sincerity and i think she is only doing this to appease her pride... because she believe she was cheated of the Vice-President position during the last election...

As for Jamby Madrigal... she should be declared as a nuisance candidate is ever she runs... the only way she could win is through big time cheating... which she wouldn't be able to hide... maybe somebody is paying her to run...


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

I agree with you on all points!!

I wouldn't be voting for her either even if she is the only candidate running for vice-presidency.. I just don't like her. thumbdown

Loren Legarda has a good reputation in all aspect that I see in her political careers. I don't see any hindrances for her to win this coming elections because all of the aspiring candidates for vice-presidency. Only Mar Roxas is the strongest personality she face in that day...Puno is decline and I don't know if Willie Revillame will pursue also in that career...?

The reason is that she run in the wrong time. Because her opponent is kabayan de castro where we know in that day kabayan is being love by many...


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

so would you vote for her this coming elections? I can see that some still likes her, because she has a good reputation when she was still a journalist, and she brought that to the senate...


myLot reputation of 89/100. aerous (1932)   ranked 117 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

I'm not decide because election will be next year. We don't know if she is declining in the near future like Ronaldo Puno...just wait for this coming coming election if what changes being made...Have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

You have a point there, but I do think there is a small chance that she would be backing out from this elections.. She may even change the position she's running for, since Chiz has resigned from their political party..


myLot reputation of 89/100. aerous (1932)   ranked 117 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Yup! My friend, I watch about Chiz, resignation from his party. I heard that he is asking 5 billions from Danding for his campaign but the tycoon did not agree...So he decide to resign...I am disappointment with Chiz, my friend.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  3 weeks ago

5 billion?! wow that's a lot! I really don't know the reason why he resigned, but I don't think it has a good effect on his campaign... A lot of people are not happy on what he did...


myLot reputation of 89/100. aerous (1932)   ranked 117 out of 4,227 in philippines  3 weeks ago

Even me am not happy what he did. Now, this is a big impact of his candidacy because he is alone and no party that give him support...How can he win now since noynoy have more supporters from celebrities while his is not afford to pay those celebrities...

The best thing for him to do now, is to quit and be a vice president...

5. myLot reputation of 94/100. ybong007 (848)   ranked 29 out of 4,227 in philippines   1 month ago

Personally, I would, she has the qualifications, she has track records to show of what have accomplished so far. Being a journalist made her even more qualified. I think she's more capable than our incumbent VP, although I'm not saying kabayan has not done anything good but Loren I think could do more. For the longest time, people has been talking about a politician's qualification as one of the main reasons why one should vote for that person, I think Loren is a classic example of what a qualified politician should have. Although there things a politician must do, that to a layman may be inappropriate but that's politics. Cheers!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Hi ybong! Well, I surely get your point on her qualifications... But for me, it just seems like I don't see the sincerity in her.. I really have no idea why.. There are just some people that when I look at, I can already see if I like them or not, and she is on the not liked list.. hehehee.

Though I'm not saying that I am right. People have their own opinions. thumbup

So you would be voting for her and chiz?happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. ybong007 (848)   ranked 29 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Maybe it's her eyebrows, it could be a little too high LOL. I don't usually pass judgement to peoples looks since to me it's very deceiving, just look at Erap, a classic example. But we can't really help it, first impressions you know... But I tend to look at the qualifications and what had been accomplished so far other wise will be run by actors and actresses, except Vilma Santos of course! Cheers!


myLot reputation of 94/100. ybong007 (848)   ranked 29 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

To answer your question, I would give her my vote. As for Chiz? no, I'd rather go for Noynoy (for the sake of the late Cory) or Gibo. Chiz to me seems to delve more on the negative of his opponents, what has he done so far? I don't have any idea...I don't have anything against the younger generations joining politics, as a matter of fact I'm all for it but I need the qualifications first and accomplishments second. Those two qualifications are the most important to me because we're talking here of the presidency, if it's for Barangay Chairman I'm willing to let go of either one. Cheers!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

LOL! Yep, I agree that Chiz is still too young, and too ambitious if I may also add. I like him, though now that he expressed his intention to run, well, it changed a lot...

I kept looking at Loren whenever I see her ad on the television, and I think it maybe the eyebrows. blink

6. myLot reputation of 94/100. sexyposh (131)   1 month ago

Because she sucks! Really, I am wondering the same thing too, why she and Jamby Madrigal never realize that we people don't like to put them in the position??? Maybe because we know their intention and we can see it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Hehehe. On her speech, she said that she is just heeding the call of the people... And I thought, where are those people?! I want to see them!... Maybe she really thinks that she lost last time because Noli pulled some strings during the count... If she loses again this coming election, maybe that would make her realize that the VP position is not really for her.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sexyposh (131)  1 month ago

I think she was referring to her amigas, her sons, her ex-husband, and her cameraman. haha!!! Even ABS-CBN didn't support her 100% last election, they're more on Kabayan Noli...

yeah you are right, loren will never win again this time, since roxa-aquino tandem seems the most popular these days... and if ever she won't win again, then she would insist that the election wasn't fair from other regions like hat she had done last election when she never won.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

Yep.. that's what I'm betting on.. she would again challenge the results of the election ( if she loses ) and I'm sure she'd be willing to do the count all over again just to prove her point ( which didn't happen the last time )..

Really? Again? I haven't seen the news lately. well, she isn't tired of running in these elections. Most people who are ambitious enough to land a seat in the Senate, Congress or the palace aren't tired of running. Only the people who are seeing the same faces, same promises, same style of platform, same everything are tired of them.
I think Loren will just have to content herself with being a senator and focus on the environmental issues which she advocates. Running for Vice or President is not for her. She's not Presidentiable material. Don't these kind of people never learn? That the people don't like them.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 66 out of 4,227 in philippines  1 month ago

I agree. I also think that the VP and the President position is not for her.. I mean, she was actually planning on running for the presidential position before the whole noynoy aquino thing happened... I don't have any idea what are the thoughts that is going through her mind.. Does she really think that she can be the next president of the Philippines? blink

happyhello Ingking,

You know it was really succeeded being in the senatorial winner, a lot of people were actually assuming she would run the presidency someday but of course, she had this script of thinking she wouldn't run yet, but then after the shift of candidates in the Election, she went back for the VP candidacy again. well, if she wants to waste money on the recount if she loose, then that's her stupidity. good luck to all voters out therethumbupthumbup
