Allow me please to revive the post. This was posted before the 2004 Elections and it becomes a timely post again.

Alexander Lacson's thoughts back in 2003.

A leader that can inspire the entire nation to act and work as one to do great things, including performing acts of true sacrifice for the good of the nation. A leader like Lincoln and Park.

Perhaps what we need is a leader who values honor, whose word is his bond, whose oath of office is his commitment, who cannot be bought, who will be honest in small things and in great things.

A leader whose stand on right and wrong is clearly defined as black and white, whose principles and values are beyond the reach of money, who will be strong and brave and bold to do what is right.

- Alexander Lacson
Fast forward to 2009, the above statement is timeless, and now, it applies to our choices of who steers our ship for the 6 years to come. Atty Lacson is running for the senate with Noynoy's party, LP.

Does it describe Noynoy? With all due respect to Noynoy, we don't remember him as that. I'm a passionate supporter of both his parents and we grieved when they died but that alone is not enough reason.

I do not agree with Atty Lacson's choice for President but nonetheless, I will vote for Alexander Lacson this coming elections as a senator because of his passion to find ways of helping the Philippines.
