A personal look at the Obama camp.
How he won the west can be explained by a modern trend of utilizing cyber communications very effectively, self-motivating for a “change of environment”, voiced Yes We Can, chanted the majority young citizenry votes to his final destiny in DC.
Strong character and “new system” defined, also sold him out.

Maaaring correct ka d’yan ruzzano. But the issue is not the bounty of the candidates because they worked hard for it but on what they probably will do once already in office. If confronted to decide on a critical issue between the poor and the rich, who do you think Noynoy will favor? Oh C’mon!

Estrada earned the ire of the rich when he championed pro-poor initiatives. What happened to Him? FPJ bowed to continue Estrada’s legacy. What happened to him?

Are those surveys showing Noynoy’s ahead surveys or conditioners? Did it answer a question or the answer is itself a question?

All of the Presidentiables are all rich by now, otherwise they cannot afford to run. In fact, if you look at the life style of all candidates, Noynoy is the poorest of them all. Compare his abode at Times Street with the Mansion of Erap or Villar or Gibo. If Villar truly cared for the poor, he would not have be super rich by now. Make a survey of the mall he owns how much they paid the workers? they are even below the minimum.

A lice will never know if it’s riding on a carabao or on a cow because it cannot get the whole picture. On a similar note, we cannot solve a problem unless we trace what caused the problem from a bigger perspective. Having said that, I think the main reason the Philippines is not moving forward is definitely because we embraced and still embracing the policy of preserving the status quo that has been in place since the Spanish era- the exploitation of workers by greedy few rich individuals. Workers are the backbone of the nation as it’s their output that determines a nation’s GDP but we still don’t give a damn to our vertebrate so to speak and that’s why we cannot stand erect and walk staight. We still give our workers the lowest possible or “slave wage” such that they have no purchasing powers which could possibly spur commercial activities because they are consumers too. One of the greatest hoax perpetrated by the sages of the 20th century that they wanted us to swallow is the alleged abolition of slavery. The truth is that they only changed the terminologies from slave to employees and slave owner to employers. The so called “salary” is only an amount given by the owner to a slave to defray part of the expense that the owner should have spent had the slave stayed in his household as before. Today’s Filipino worker cannot even provide basic needs for a family of four even if he works 24/7. If he’s not a slave What is he?
China is now an emerging economic giant and the main reason is because they reversed the policy of giving slave wages to their workers to living wage. As a result, Chinese workers now comprise the middle class who now can afford to buy things they considered as luxury before spurring the economy in the process. It will not happen in the Philippines because our tendency is as much as possible is to “sakal” the necks of our workers. Look at ShoeMart for example: it has more or less 100 thousand workers but only 2000+ belong to a union and the rest are temps begging or giving “favors” of many kinds to suvervisors every six months that his/her contract renewed. No wonder, the temp agency owner is now also one of the Forbe’s list of world millionaires. This is a clear circumvention of the the labor laws but in the Philippines nobody give a damn because if you are rich, you are the law because congress does want to do an act offensive to their “patrons”. Giving slave wage also present a double jackpot on the rich as many workers will be motivated to work abroad remitting back to the Philippines more or less $12-15 billion, an amount which will ultimately go to their pockets.
That’s why I honestly believe that electing a president coming from the poor although will not completely solve the problem will somehow mitigate it. Noynoy is from the elite and of course he will protect the elite. The Makati Business Club must be salivating.

Sum Day, If you listen to Noynoy, You will see that he is not dumb at all. Besides, the 12 million voters that voted before is no longer 12 million. A lot realized the made a mistake. Wait when the issues like the killing of Bobby Dacer will come to the open again. Erap led the surveys when he won the election. Yet his was not even 45%.If i have to choose the people surrounding Noynoy and the people surrounding your Erap, I would rather choose the former’s

you have valid concerns there, Sum Day. but that’s democracy. it was designed to be imperfect so that each citizen pours in his one cent worth of point of view unlike any other systems which are too perfect there’s no room for repair. we elect leaders alright but there are excape valves available to us once they prove themselves inutile. we have impeachment and the term limit or the extralegal: people power. the exercise is two way. where we elected a lousy leader we are punished to wait out till the next elections if his number in Congress throw out impeachment files in the shredding machines.

You have good points gentlemen but let us not set aside the fact that Estrada has already 12 million plus voters who for now are not openly expressing but keeping it to themselves because of some obvious reasons until the actual voting. Surveys are not always accurate and sometimes people join a bandwagon just for the heck of it.
Noynoy like his mother is no doubt an honest person but history already proved us that honesty alone cannot solve problems. He had no concrete accomplishments during his tenure as congressman and now senator and therefore his competence is questionable. The Office of the President is not an entry level position where we can terminate the person if he/she cannot muster the probationary period. I am 99% honest person but certainly I cannot address the problem the Philippines is having right now because it is out of my competence. My another concern is that Kamag-anak Inc., the MBC, etc. will be having a heyday again once Noynoy is elected.

you’re right on track. it could be more than 50% as Noynoy’s share of the market.

Noynoy already with 45% and they have already thrown everything they’ve got against him.Issues against Noynoy, most often pulped from nothingness,were already been used to the point they are already creating boredom to us all.

Just come to think of it if the issues against VILLAR, ERAP, GORDON and GIBO start to surface, KATAKOT TAKOT ANG MGA ISSUES SA KANILA, and their meager hordes start to dwindle and gravitate to Noynoy. Tingin ko Noynoy will get no less than 65% in the end and some of these fellows will concede even days before the election.

I am here in the US but i called RP every now and then, asking for pulse from friends in Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao. They dont know who is my candidate and I did not ask who is their respective candidates. I asked about the current pulse of their respective local areas, regardless of whom they are supporting. Believe me Noynoy is it. People are tired of Gloria and Gibo is connected with her. Villar is not charismatic enough. If he is, what happened to the two years of exposure and leading the surveys before Noynoy came into the open. Yes, the 45% is already there for Nonoy.
