How in hell Boypick-up thinks GP being his running mate will make him win the presidency. He seem not learned that he lost with a winning president. Now he even has the guts to ask a front runner in survey to be his vp when his logging behind the survey. It show's what mentality he has no wonder he won't be president which is good otherwise will have another dumb leader.

It's tough to find a partner when you get to be exposed as the top most crook in the country. Everyone don't want to be associated with Noggy and his party.

The yellow army is already cooking the votes, with the possibility of manual counting and only the "transmission" will be done electronically. I guess PNoy wants a successor who won't put him in "hospital arrest"...

So grace, nognog, mar, & ping for pres. Baka sumingit pa yung cayetano.

Ano kaya nasa isip ni mar, na confident na mananalo sya?

[Altis6453]

OOzing with confidence itong si Mar... Akala mo, mananalo naman...

Feelingera.......hehe! Pero nililigawan si Grace Poe para daw VP niya. Ugh. I saw an article today in the Philippine Star by Alex Magno. While I think what he writes isn't worth the paper it's printed on, I think in this case, he's spot on:

Leadership
FIRST PERSON By Alex Magno (The Philippine Star) | Updated May 28, 2015 - 12:00am

Mar Roxas’ demeanor would disappoint Machiavelli.

He drifts with the tide rather than command the waves. He waits rather than seizes the day. He would rather that power falls onto his lap, an inheritance rather than a trophy.

Last Tuesday, he finally addressed the matter of a presidential run– although only to thank President Aquino for mentioning he was at the “top” of his list of possible endorsees. He could have seized the moment to declare, although that might have been completely out of character.

If Roxas’ ratings in the voter preference surveys are unimpressive, it is likely because voters sense he is incapable of leadership. He does not shape outcomes. He waits for them to happen.

Roxas seems to treat the presidency as a birthright – not as the Holy Grail. He sees to be enamored with the idea of leading this country. But he does not crave for it. He seems unwilling to work for it.

A friend who was Mar’s colleague in a previous Cabinet described the man as indolent. He does not innovate. He does not take the initiative. He waits to be instructed. He role-plays.

I have interviewed cab drivers and other ordinary voters. When they say they will not vote for Roxas, I interrogate them extensively. None could clearly say why they fail to be attracted by an otherwise pervasive, extremely visible political personality.

This is the irony Mar must resolve as soon as possible. He has no problem with name recall. His namesake, the former president, is in all our peso bills. But he has a serious problem converting name recall to voter support.

I suspect this is a problem caused by a certain inability on the part of Mar to project a real person. It is an inability aggravated by Mar’s previous public relations efforts. He has constantly been projected as something he is not: a tricycle driver, a wet market character, and all similar incarnations totally removed from the man’s real circumstances. Mar’s handlers, in trying to project him as a man of the masses, succeeded only in creating a hologram the people distrust.

It does not help that Mar insists on speaking in Tagalog. It is clear to the native speaker the man thinks in English and wrestles with impromptu translation. He misuses words – such as when he once repeatedly said “nasa hawak,” a transliteration of “in the hands of.”

Last Tuesday, speaking of Aquino’s quasi-endorsement, he used the word “tugon” as translation of “mention.” The correct word was “banggit” or even “sambit.”

His language is fake. Voters think the man is fake as well.

He has tried too hard to sound like the man on the street. The effort has backfired.

It is obvious he uses the language only for making public pronouncements, not for daily survival.

Decisiveness
No one has accused Mar Roxas of decisiveness. Unfortunately for him, this is the virtue voters want at this time, a reaction to the slapstick leadership Aquino provided the nation.

This is the reason Rodrigo Duterte has created excitement among our voters. We may disagree with his methods, but no one has yet accused Duterte of indecision. The mayor of Davao is unflappable – and also unstoppable when he wants something done.

Although he repeatedly denies seeking the presidency, Duterte has shot up in the rankings. That is a resounding commentary on the wishy-washy leadership Aquino has thus far provided us.

It might be premature to close the books on Mar Roxas’ uninspired political quest. Filipino politics retains its ability to pull surprises – although a Roxas presidency might be the surprise of all surprises.

If that political quest unravels, however, many analysts will point to the days following the Mamasapano massacre as the key point that might have saved, or doomed, Roxas’ political career.

Mar was left out of the loop, kept in the dark, while this ill-fated operation was being hatched. Machiavelli might have chosen this as the moment to resign from the post, establish some distance from the bungling Aquino presidency to avoid the backlash and set up the political movement that would propel him to the highest office.

But Mar is no Machiavelli.

He took the slight, stood by his disloyal master, waited for the anointment simply by being obsequious.

Mar has failed to make himself inevitable. He did not build the political movement that might propel him independent of what could, in the end, be a floundering presidency whose anointment is a kiss of death. He did not carve out a clear place in the sun for himself, content to present himself merely as a continuation of the same.

Uninspired, he has become uninspiring. He did not build himself up as the man on horseback to rescue the nation from mediocrity. He is content being the man-in-waiting, heir to all the mediocrity.

No one really remembers what great thing Mar Roxas has done as congressman or as senator. No one remembers what he did in two stints as Secretary of Trade or as Secretary of Transport and Communication or as Secretary of the Interior.

All we recall is the blur of political ads where Mar plays people other than himself. The only time he used Tagalog correctly was when he cussed during a political rally and when he bullied the staff at a golf course.

Oh yes, he gave up his presidential run once to accommodate a less qualified person and then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when he slid down to second fiddle. That did not fix him in the public mind as a winner.

So mukhang di na bubukol yung pahaging nyang....

"Mar po ako."

Alluding to a possible mar-poe tandem in 2016.

[Monseratto]

Mar belongs to the oligarch class and is viewed as an elitist by the Masa.

[Juan Martinez]

^ Magaling! Magno got the whole essence of the man. No more, no less.

[Monseratto]

Other than appearing at a press conference for Ayala Corp after the Serendra gas explosion, and being belttled by CNN in front of the world for the Yolanda Relief flap, can anyone cite Mar for anything positive and worth mentioning...?

[jodski]

^ uhm... Mr. Palengke? Hahahaha

[NightRock]
