Kino and I discussing politics

Philippines

So last night before our gig my band was sitting near the bar debating about politics and what not. Kino, my guitarist said he'd like to vote for Manny Villar I opted for Noynoy Aquino but we didn't leave out Erap Estrada and Gibo Teodoro since they were in the race too points taken were: Pros: Noynoy - a long political legacy which he can not mess up or else it would bring shame to their whole family and clan Villar - came from the slums of tondo and managed to make it big through his business deals sec Erap - older, wiser, experienced and probably more careful now about the decisions he makes if ever he is reelected Gibo - Fresh blood, charismatic and an idealist to boot Cons: Noynoy - Hacienda Luisita scandal and the Hello Garci scandal, plus the fact that he has a scandalous sister who begs for attention every second of the day.. this might spell disaster for him Villar - C5 scandal Erap - too many graft and corruption scandals Gibo - too much of an idealist and unclear motives for election So... which would you choose as your next Philippine President? I'd still go for Noynoy though... something tells me he's about to change things for the better now if only there was a way to get rid of his sister or probably make her mellow out a bit...

Well dear you've mentioned good points. If your choice is Noynoy, I have nothing against that although I myself have not really chosen my own candidate. My choice is one between Gibo and Gordon but Noynoy is my third choice if only for the memory of his great father and her kindhearted mother. Erap? I don't think he is a wise choice. Why vote for this man? Would people like his midnight cabinet to be active again. Look at the way he answers in Presidential debate. His brain is empty and he is only good for the movies where he would play like an illiterate kanto boy. Another very bad choice is Villar. My of my! I hope Filipinos will not allow themselves to be fooled by this man who is claiming to be poor. Poor? how could he be poor? Yes he came from Tondo but not all people from Tondo are poor. He came from a family who works hard for a living but they earn enough money to eat well each day and for him to be sent to private schools. He is using the poor a lot and it irritates me. He also is a coward. He could not face the senate investigation on the Senate on C5 scandal because that would be to his disadvantage and besides he was trying to protect one man here. Obviously he is indeed the secret candidate of Malacanang. If not why would he protect the first Gentleman who was said to be the one who really earned the biggest from the C5 deal. So I am not voting for Villar and my complete reason are here: http://hubpages.com/hub/notformannyvillar
