Only in the Philippines:
1) An elected, convicted and pardoned former President have the guts to run for (re) election for President . Despite the fact that Constitution bar him from running, he is still very determined to run (although he says that he is only 99.9% sure of running). It is very likely that millions of Filipinos will still vote for him. And who knows he might win it all. Hopefully, our respected Supreme Court Justices will put a stop on this craziness. Come on Pres. Erap Estrada, kung meron ka pang natitirang respeto sa sarili mo, or you really love our country that you helped destroy and plunder, huwag ka ng tumakbo. You should be thankful that you were pardoned and now out of jail. Spend the remaining years of your colorful and not so colorful life out of politics.
Nakakahiya sa ibang bansa, na ang isang kriminal na dating presidente ay muling tatakbo at baka manalo sa pagka-presidente. We all know that until now you still enjoy wide support from the masses because of your slogan "Erap para sa Mahirap. But pls. don't exploit them. Our court system already judged you as a corrupt leader and as a result thrown to jail or a resort :). How can we expect that you will be a better president when your credibility is zero.
I appeal to all Filipinos to pls. think wisely when choosing a leader. "Ang kwarta sa bulsa ang boto sa balota". Don't be fooled by politicians that claims that they are pro-poor when in fact they are just trying to exploit and fool you so they can secure your vote. Most of these candidates were born in a silver platter, they never experienced how is it to be poor. I don't blame them for being born to rich families BUT pls. don't exploit us ...the Poor People of the Philippines.

ABS-CBN VS. GMA-7
The heated and intense rivalry of the two giant networks resonates not only in the business world but also at home. Most of my favorite shows and stars are in Channel 2 while my wife's favorites are in GMA-7. We always tease each other whenever the new tv ratings comes out and our show or our networks comes out on top. With these intense rivalry between these 2 networks the wuinners will always be US the viewers.
She agrees with me that the biggest stars in showbiz can be found in ABS-CBN , however she claims that biggest Star in the showbiz world can be found in GMA-7, which is Marian Rivera. She might be partly rightly since if you look at the ratings most of Marian Riveras shows are almost always on top except "Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa aking Tadyang". And frankly speaking I do want to watch Marian with her Darna costume....hehehe....."DARNA!!!!!"....
I do hope ABS-CBN will come up with something with Angel Locsin, Angelica Panganiban and Shaina Magdayao at the same time with costumes like Darna.....I'm sure they will beat the crap out of Darna.
For the meantime though, I have to switch my loyalty to Darna!!!, while ABS-CBN is still figuring out how to beat GMA-7's Darna.

RICHARD GORDON-BAYANI FERNANDO 2010?
I am sure that a lot of people will laugh at me for bringing up this tandem. I know that this tandem will never happen and will never win in the 2010 presidential election. So you ask, why bring up the issue then.
I believe that in terms of experience and political will, this 2 gentleman politicians pretty much possesses both qualities . Senator Gordon had always been a good public servant. From the time he was the Mayor of Olongapo , the SBMA chairman , Tourism secretary and now a senator. He always performed above peoples expectations. Olongapo remains progressive even after U.S bases was removed. Subic bay became a investment mecca in Southeast Asia.
Bayani Fernando- I admire the guy. He has the political will to advance whatever is necessary to improve the lives of every Filipinos. We never had anybody that has the guts to clean up Manila with squatters. Other politicians are scared because they know that this squatters are also voters and they need votes so they can continue to cling on their respective posts. Manila became a lot cleaner and more orderly since Bayani Fernando became the MMDA chairman.
These 2 politicians is what the Philippines needed. HOwever, since I don't think they have any chance of winning, I will vote on somebody else that I thinks is closest these 2 gentlemans credentials.
