Presidential Debates are just waste of time?! What?! >:-(   email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. LetranKnight25 (11773)   ranked 1 out of 42 in philippine politics 2 years ago

Hello Lotters,

It seemed i may have to break my promise of going on entirely with my life and leaving this politically insane Election period to it's course. I went to face book and log-in to the my chosen candidate fan page to see some updates. I don't know if my blood pressure was raised or something but i felt rage inside while being silent for almost ten minutes.

Why? The Presidential candidate who is TOP in the surveys said "Debates are just waste of time" he even said it's completely waste of time and doesn't believe that people are watching, Duh! Is he dreaming? thumbdown

Not a referral Link.

First, he flip-flops on two issues like the RH bill and Tax increase. Okay, am clear with that because some US lotters told me that Politicians do change positions on issues "AFTER" they're in position, well, i understand that.

But Now, another interview stating by the TOP Survey CAndidate himself that "he won't be attending any more debates. so, is this the kind of President that I want, who backs down from a civil debate simply because he sheltered himself to the media network and the survey that BAcks him up?

(for pinoy lotters only, cause it doesn't have subtitles)
First, he didn't like to be in debates because he hates the moderator being biased. but hey, he didn't got mad when the network that backs him up was bias on his rival cousinblink

Not a referral Link.

Then after that he challenges the Second TOp survey candidate in a one on one debate? Remember?

Not a referral link either..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_9u_Qysh7o

But now yet again, he FLIP-FLOPS and doesn't want to be challenged anymore? i know why, you(the candidate), doesn't have the BALLS and can't Keep up with the "Real Candidates", and the same to most specially the second top survey candidate(Vil-liar)! angry

Obviously, NOT a Referral LInk.

http://www.journal.com.ph...

To my pinoy lotters who supports this person: WAKE UP!!! if he can't debate and answer issues now what more if he's in the Office..scandals here and there and then what? RALLY! RALLY! RALLY! all over again, oh my..think about it.very seriously.

TO MY BELOVED US LOTTERS: What kind of a candidate who would just fliplops and just say he won't participate in the debates? isn't this madness or something. he's delussioned that "no one" is watching these debates where I on the other had been watching it since LAst year...

NO Offense, but am Offended by his Decision, it's my right since I am a Voter.

Thank you..and have a great day (obviously am not having one)

don't count my vote for him,because i won't be voting for him lol, anyway,oh well its only showing his real attitude toward the Philippines if he can't handle criticism then how can he handle this nation with full of people who are hungry for change.

Its clear that he doesn't ave a clear platform to lead this nation, what the hell, i hope people stop looking on popularity if names its time for real change,.

sadI don't think they will ever know since some workers are well to busy. for now, am thinking again on who's to vote. but like letranknight, am just gonna look and watch those debates in the internet..hopes to choose a better candidate than noynoy. i see now where is this yellow revolution's gonna end.and it's not beneficial to us.

thumbdownhello charm

I know he's a nice man but his decisions gives me the reason NOT to vote for him. he kept changing his mind, and the media is backing him up for sure they are trying to cover up all of the negative aspects and issues that he can't even answer for himself. thumbdown.he's not doing well why can't the BiAS media see that? why? because of of gratitude from his parents!angry

happyI never thought you can go deep in politics here, my friend.

I used to be for noy-noy because i hear it from commercials and regards to his parents. but some how, it didn't feel right when i started watching videos regarding the debates, i never gave it much of a thought until i saw this discussion. this is truly enlighten indeed. but if media is doing some thing else and not showing all the issues then i won't vote for noynoy either. Thanks.thumbup

thumbdownhello mikaela

I used to like Noynoy since his historic announcement a few months after her moms death.but hearing thoughts that he is actually doing the same gimmick that her mom did during the 80's revolution, that's the time that i started doubting him. and all brokeout my support when gordon started answering debates better than noynoy. i have nothing against noynoy personally but when it comes to this occupation i strongly believed he can't run for the presidency.thumbdown

I have seen Noynoy in the congress once, but i never seen him became an active debater except when they're bashing him with issues he's not aware of. how could you just allowed this guy to be president in the first place, am lucky that i won't have to be there when he wins, they're just gonna control him, like what they did to erap.

sadhello rebel,

I am not sure how they got it out. am sure ABS CBN is blaming themselves for allowing the debates to happen because it's not favoring they're bet. instead, it has back fired and focuse more on the candidates who can reason and answer the debates with full knowledge and heart. now, i don't see ABS CBN sponsoring debates or airing debates that they have coveragethumbdownthumbdown

It's never a waste of time. Despite of the sugar coated words and promises the lines itself tell us what kind of candidate we are vying for--personally.

Its not the words but the sincerity.


myLot reputation of 97/100. LetranKnight25 (11773)   ranked 1 out of 42 in philippine politics  2 years ago

sadHEllo Naisan,

unfortunately, the latest article had been deleted for some reason, unfortunately. this proves that they want the winnable in the surveys to win regardless of platforms. he can't win in debates, then how can he handles issues, if he's not gonna answer them now how can he answer it when it's already in the office.thumbdownthumbdown


myLot reputation of 81/100. Naisan (175)  2 years ago

I'm not a noynoy fan or that he will ever get my vote. Noynoy has the right to run for the presidency but he forgets the fact that this National Election is not just a battle of how many ads you can post or how famous you are.

Deduct the debate issues; I'm not sure if he has done much in his post before. The presidency office is a representative of the Filipino for the common good.

we Filipinos have an inheritance of a past government that fights where are we today. But it doesn't mean that he can seat in the chair because he is an Aquino.

Its not the name that we want to inherit.

Oh my! this is deep in politics but I agree to Letran! Even if I don't watch this forum in television I can clearly see that nonoy is not a good president to be voted for. He is always doing criticism, his pride weighs more than the people supporting him, and he can't even control his emotions. If this is the case then it wouldn't be a good future in our country.


myLot reputation of 97/100. LetranKnight25 (11773)   ranked 1 out of 42 in philippine politics  2 years ago

thumbdownhello nykel.

that's what happens if you don't watch the debates in youtube. nykel, you don't watch it in TV since local media ABIAS CBN will not aired it at all as they see this as Noynoy's weakness. they're just gonna bombard us with ads, tarpaulins and celebrities most specially Kris Aquino.

Deep Politics? you have to get involved. it's our right to grill the candidates while they're still on the application process...happy

i know that you have said, that it is enough of your political discussions but i have been keeping this notifier for more than 48 hours now, so i want to give some reactions. i told you earlier that it's a good decision that you just go back lotting instead of getting to the political thing. i frankly tell you that i did not watched the videos but read the link you gave here. i just want to give suggestion, that i think it is better for us to campaign for our bets if we feel that the candidate is the one who most deserve to be voted to that position, but i just hate personal assassination. i you feel he is job, then go tell the world how good he is. but i don't want to hear people talking about negative aspects of the rival. i don't know, i guess that is unfair and maybe that is politics, one do not uplift the other but pull down by with any which way they can. actually, this is one interest that i hate, that is why, when i feel like posting a discussion about politics, i start it in my "not interested at all" interest. needless to say, this is one of the longest winding topic to be discussed, i think second to religion. these two topics or interests are just some of the few interests that i wish, i have not joined, read and respond to. but there are just some times, i can't help but read and response. good luck anyway for you chosen candidate and to your job hunting. happy
by the way, i was going to sleep earlier, but thought about responding to this one before i go to bed. i gave special time for this as you gave special invitation. thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. LetranKnight25 (11773)   ranked 1 out of 42 in philippine politics  2 years ago

sadHello neildc,

Let em tell you bit of something that is unfair, first, the media religously focus on surveys and rather give free ad campaign to this candidate with out even seeing him makes a concrete stand on issues, because he hasn't made a good impression on debates lately.

Attacking a candidate? no, am just telling something that is not shown in the media. and every day i see negative issues not answered by this yellow crusade and in their face book fan page every issues being asked by other people is blocked or message deleted.

WOrst, the media is on their side and they normally editorialized and only exposed only a few words coming from other candidatesthumbdown. when they aired gordon's bomb about villars attempt bribe they didn't show the whole interview but just small parts of it.

I don't want to show this info but against a media who is supposed to be neutral, I won't blind myself by just ignoring the article, and say,let it pass. I will let it pass when the election is over.

we are voters here, and i believe it's my right to show issues of other candidates besides gordon, i have issues with my chosen candidate as well, but he's best out of all the rest...

well, you're a good friend and thankful for taking time responding to this.

have a great daythumbup

yah its a waste of time, they just talk about promises and things like that... if given the chance not to vote, i wont vote... politics is a boring issue for me and im tired listening to their jingles, tv ads and watching their posters everywhere. if he doesnt want to debate, then lets just respect his decision, its still the people who will choose....


myLot reputation of 97/100. LetranKnight25 (11773)   ranked 1 out of 42 in philippine politics  2 years ago

happyhello shiela,

if you are a voter, i suggest you start reviewing these candidates before the election. otherwise, don't vote at all if you are unsure who's the best canditorial slate. well, i've heard from us lotters that it's normal for candidates to change their decisions and it's better they do it before they enter the palace.happyhappy
