Mar-Matet 2016?

Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano open to being Mar's running mate?
By Coconuts Manila August 4, 2015 / 18:45 PHT

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano on Tue, Aug 4, said he is open to a proposal that he join Interior Secretary Mar Roxas as his running-mate for the 2016 election.

Roxas is a Liberal Party member, while Cayetano belongs to the Nacionalista Party.

“Kung ako ay o-offeran, pag-iisipan ito ng partido pero kasama ko ang partido sa pagde-decide. And the offer should be to the party and not to the person kasi dapat ito ay coalition (If an offer is made to me, the party will help decide on it. The offer should be directed to the party and not to the person because it is for the coalition),” Cayetano said.

Cayetano admitted that the spotlight is on the LP after President Aquino endorsed Roxas’ candidacy on Friday.

In this regard, Cayetano advised the public not to vote solely on the basis of popularity.

Nonetheless, the senator said their party is still mulling whether or not they will support Roxas. “We are analyzing the situation,” he explained.

Cayetano went to Quezon province to meet cocofarmers. He neither confirmed nor denied that these had something to do with any plans for 2016. —from a report by Ernie Mano, ABS-CBN News Southern Tagalog

In an all-star 2016 cast, Binay, Roxas or Poe is no match to Duterte – Salceda | Kicker Daily News

As I was saying in the past, in a 4-cornered fight, Duterte will most likely win. Gov. Salceda, who has a good track record on reading the political landscape correctly, now comes up with this possibility. Even in a 3-cornered fight, Duterte will still win especially if........secret!!!wink emoticon

I see an OVERWHELMING win for Duterte in Mindanao (80%?), Visayas (60%) and Metro Manila (50%). The rest of the votes will be shared by Roxas, Poe and Binay.

Time for a Philippine president who comes from Mindanao??? Time for a Cebuano speaking President???

This is highly probable but then again, Duterte ain't running.

Thanks for sharing bro., and I am quoting it below.

While I have reservations (not total disagreement) with one of his proposals,- he is my man for the coming Presidential election,- mainly because of his take charge attitude,- an endearing quality of a true leader!

Again, an Executive is someone who takes charge, acts with urgency and acknowledges his responsibilities for his actions.

Walang lugar ang pagka-Presidente sa mga duwag at nagpapa-pogi lang.

I have highlighted those that I see that make him levels higher (different) from the other mediocre candidates who are into "showbiz stance" with the masa now.

Sa ibang mga Presidentiables,- mag-artista na lang kayong lahat!!! May pera riyan,- kasama si Vice Gendeng....

Lastly, I am from Luzon, a true Tagalog person.

However, my loyalty to my island of Luzon ends with my loyalty to our country.

I don't care if our President is from the Visayas or from Mindanao,- for as long as this country will rise from where we are now,- to become one of the most progressive and most respected nations in the world.

We tried everybody,- Housewife, Military, Actor, Economist, Son of Cory/Ninoy,- and we have achieved very little since EDSA.

It is high time to jumpstart our country to new levels of peace and progress,- I'll risk that with DU30.

Duterte bares plans 'if' he runs for president
Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte says he will prioritize federalism, law and order, a business-friendly environment and help the economy by creating more jobs

MANILA, Philippines What will Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's prioritize in his platform if he chooses to run for president in 2016?
Duterte gave a glimpse of his top priorities as he spoke to top financial minds of the Bankers Institute of the Philippines on Tuesday, August 11.

The 70-year-old mayor confessed that the problems facing the country were the reason why he has not yet decided to run for higher office.

When I finally say I will run, I should be ready to assume full responsibility and not blame others for the mess I knew full well I would inherit, Duterte explained.

He had been consistently rejecting the idea of running for president, claiming his age, financial status and his family hinder him from announcing his bid for the highest office of the land.

But the mayor, for the sake of argument, explained the changes he will make if this unworthy Bisaya should lead beyond the confines of Davao.

Boosting the economy

With government funds directed to the right channels, Duterte said he will propose a partnership with the private sector to help keep the prices of food stable.

It is likewise unthinkable that in a country surrounded by water, fish is unaffordable to the poorest of our poor. And vegetables are priced so high that the diet of the poor is simply rice and more rice, Duterte explained why having food security must be a major priority.

The mayor said the government should spend on agricultural research to help farmers produce more at a lesser cost.

Given the geographic advantages of Mindanao, its fertile plains and abundant water sources if adequately developed can feed Luzon and Visayas, according to Duterte.

Duterte lamented the current status of farmers who benefited from agrarian reform.

Kasi ngayon, pagkatapos na binigyan mo ng 2 hectares ang landless, bahala na siya sa buhay niya Duterte said. (With the way things are now, the government does not care about the landless after giving them 2 hectares of land.)

He explained that there should be a more proactive approach to provide with incentives the private sector's corporate social responsibility. This will help farmers manage their lands.

The next administration should also tap the idle manpower in the countryside to build roads and dig irrigation canals to boost the income of the poorest.

On the business side

Davao City prides itself with the 72-hour-limit for acquiring business permits, such that failure on the part of the local government to do so would merit having to directly explain to the mayor himself reasons for such.

Duterte said the government should let businesses flourish by making it easy to do business, with government providing utmost transparency and accountability.

In terms of laws, he said he plans to prioritize the Freedom of Information bill if he runs and wins in 2016.

In addition, he would also prioritize effective public transportation such as trains, railways and the renovation of airports.

Duterte recounted an agreement he made with businessmen when he first won as Davao City's mayor in 1988: he will take care of the peace and order, as well as provide for the basic services, while the business group will take care of the business sector and invite more investors into the city.

He added that these improvements should have all been done decades ago but refrained from blaming others.

You are business executives. You cannot go to your board of directors each time and say you did not meet your targets because of the mess you inherited when you assumed your positions. You should know what you are getting into. If you can't hack it, be honest don't seek the office,he said.

Law and order

The tough-talking mayor who claimed to have transformed Davao into one of the safest cities in the world, said he will make sure that criminals are afraid of the law.

Aside from increasing the salaries of the police, Duterte proposed to repeal laws that have become a refuge for criminals.

He plans to revoke the juvenile delinquency law, which syndicates have used to train young kids to commit crime, protected by the mantle of impunity due to young age

He also pledged to re-impose the death penalty for heinous crimes, such as drug-trafficking and drug-dealing.

But over and above legislation, we will make sure that crime does not pay; that swift justice awaits those who would commit heinous crimes,Duterte said.

Shifting to federalism

Consistent with past efforts, conducting listening tours around the country to give a face to the idea of federalism as an alternative to the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), Duterte declared,I will within the first year in office, call for a Constitutional Convention to effect change in our form and structure of government. We must change the present highly-centralized, unitary system into a federal system

The mayor had been pushing for a shift to a federal system to address inherent issues in corrupt practices in governance. Duterte said he would abolish Congress and the pork barrel system.

He claimed that federalism would provide a lasting solution to the demands of our Muslim brothers and other cultural minorities for a recognition of their historical and indigenous rights to a multi-cultural community united under one flag and one nation.

Duterte had previously said he supported the BBL but expressed concerns over some of its provisions. He claims that federalism is a better solution to the conflict in Mindanao.

On leadership

Duterte also said that a leader must be a strict taskmaster who should replace inefficient cabinet members or heads of agencies who, if involved in corruption allegations, should face prosecution.

It should not take a leader months of agonizing to choose a PNP chief, or to replace a jail warden who allows drug lords to continue with their deadly trade inside prison, abetted with luxurious lifestyles at that. It should take no more than 24 hours, Duterte added, clearly alluding to President Benigno Aquino III. Rappler.com

Maybe (only) a good number knows about this recent issue,- but many businesses almost lost the handle with the Manila Port Congestion Issue...

And, Malacanan was hands-off on this,- much to the disappointment of the already frustrated business community.

They should have acted with force and resolve on this issue, and came out as heroes for rescuing businesses in our country.

My Planning Manager who was normally silent with her opinion of the government, was cursing them to high heavens, because production lines have shutdown due to lack of material.

We want a take charge guy at the helm of our government.

Mar should promise the moon to the kulto to win the block vote...

Mar bagsak sa survey ng INC
Ni Butch Quejada (Pilipino Star Ngayon) | Updated August 13, 2015 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines – Naniniwala ang mga miyembro ng Iglesia ni Cristo na malabong manalo si DILG Secretary Mar Roxas sa halalang pampanguluhan sa taong 2016.

Ito ang lumilitaw sa isang survey na isinagawa ng television station ng INC na Net 25 noong Agosto 12.

Sa naturang survey, ang mga respondent ay tinanong ng “Sa tingin mo ba may tsansang manalo sa pagpa-pangulo si Secretary Mar Roxas sa 2016 elections?”

Inireport ng Net 25 na 93.3 porsiyento ng mga respondent ay sumagot ng “wala” o walang tsansang manalo habang 6.9 porsiyento lang ang nagsabi ng yes.

Karaniwan nang ang suporta ng INC na merong mahigit dalawang milyong miyembro ay hinihingi ng mga pulitikong kumakandidato sa anumang posisyon sa mga pambansang halalan sa bansa.

Naniniwala ang mga kandidatong ito na ang isang block vote na tulad ng sa INC ay makakatulong para sila manalo sa halalan.

PSN ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch:
Nauna nang inindorso ni Pangulong Aquino si Roxas bilang kandidatong presidente ng administrasyon sa darating na halalan.

Pero lumilitaw na hindi si Roxas ang pinapaborang kandidato ng INC para sa 2016 batay sa mga national survey.

Kahit sa mga naunang pambansang survey noon, hindi lubhang tumataas ang rating ni Roxas

Ayon sa mga tagamasid, ang mga national popularity survey ay dinodominahan nina Vice President Jejomar Binay at Senador Grace Poe.

Sa kasalukuyan, wala pang ibang kandidato na ginawan ng survey ng tv network ng INC.
