    Sa Manila Polo Club, buying shares does not guarantee a membership. The membership has to be approved by the members. Kung ayaw nang other members sa applikante, hindi maaaprove yun. Pero pwede hindi rejected ang acquiring shares. Mga alam kong high profile na share holders pero rejected ang membership ay si Aurora Pijuan (former Ms International) at si Rep. Mikee Romero (owner of Global Port & North Port Batang Pier).

    give a man lots of money, and see him as he really is.
    either he makes a fool of himself...
    or he does something good for all concerned.

    Reminds me of Pacquiao. I think he sincerely wants to help the filipinos.

    that's more on character

    how one handles money when given a windfall

    many lottery winners self destruct

    institutions' character are a reflection of the characters of the governing body.

    Similar to the famous quote "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power"

    True enough, a lot of men (and women) failed the test, especially in Philippine politics

    don't believe in campaign promises.
    research on the person's previous activities.
    that is probably a better gauge of what he will do, once elected into position of power.

    i agree.
    paQman wants to help his fellowmen, in my opinion.
    even when he was still active in the slugging industry, he was willing to slug it out, just to put on a good show for the fans.
    boxing organizers liked him, because he goes in to hit and get hit, unlike other "safer" fighters...

    alas, wanting to is not always equated with having the skill to...

    my opinion.
