Noynoy Aquino Moaning about Bias in Forum

In his introduction, Lopez described Villar, Nacionalista Party standard-bearer, as a “self-made tycoon, former Speaker and Senate President, and former future President, probably.”
Lopez also fawned over Aquino’s cousin, Lakas-Kampi standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro Jr., whom he repeatedly praised as a bar topnotcher.

By contrast, Lopez was uninspired in his introduction of Aquino, calling him a man with a good pedigree, grandson of a national hero, son of national heroes—former President (Corazon) Aquino and slain opposition Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.—congressman for nine years, and senator for three years.
“He will tell us what he is going to do,” Lopez said.
Lopez added that Aquino was somebody known for his “imagination.” He called deposed President Joseph Estrada “a man of action.”

 The truth kind of stings doesn't it? It is biased, yes, The fair thing to do would be to remind people that Erap drove the country to the ground, Villar has questionable ethics for a man claiming to be the hope of this nation, and Gibo might just be a cover for Arroyo. But there is no reason for Lopez to stop saying that in Noynoy's three-term tenure as a congressman, his greatest accomplishment was getting re-elected 3 times.

Aquino Camp Accuses Manny Villar of being Manny Villar

To wit, Villar responds that there's nothing illegal about what his company is doing. It is perfectly fine to benefit directly from a government project you have wholly supported. Nothing wrong with that at all.

2010 Philippine Elections

A lot of the Philippine elections brujaja on the teevee lately. It reminds me of the Erap impeachment trials taking over the local television airwaves. Back then, the impeachment trials were on every channel. No Soaps, no entertainment show, just live coverage of the trials and interview on everyone who was remotely related.

We were glued to the TV, the drama was better than the soaps, it had impact, there was even the remote possibility that some random congressman might explode and punch another congressman in the face. THE FACE.

But that's over now. Just as my hope I hope that the 2010 elections can offer us something. If not hope, genuine hope and an opportunity for change, at least it can give us entertainment. I hope.

As a side note:

The computerized machines mean nothing if we will vote the same way we did back then. The biggest question is "Are we going to fall for the same tricks again?"

I hope not. I hope the public notices the lack of a general course of action on Ninoy's campaign. He offers platitudes and hope, and not much else. The Gordon/Bayani Transformers tandem seem like their direct opposite. They know what exactly to do (or at least seem to), but they lack popular support, public perception of them outside Olongapo and "some" parts of the Greater Manila Area are almost bordering on distrust.

Gibo seems to be a good candidate. But he could have us all fooled, they all could. Taking into consideration that he is running under Lakas' ticket, there's still the chance that he can rub shit all over what is basically a politically clean plate.

I'm not rooting for Villar; he is working hard, trying hard, almost too hard. Reminds me of Prospero Pichay last election. Villar isn't the answer. I don't think he is Noynoy's opposite either, he is the biggest rival (that's what the surveys say) but he is not the opposite, if anything they're on the same side of the coin. The Trapo coin. How much is that coin worth? Not much, not much.



I'll try to keep the blog updated.
