2016 Presidential Election

[jack_husain]

Roxas has the intellect, the bloodline, and, maybe the integrity, but he will never become the President of the Republic.

We can't even be sure who between him and his wife is the president in their household. He might only be the VP there. If he wins the presidency, it will set an anomaly wherein we have a president who is only a vice president in his house. Dutertard isn't entirely incorrect to call him "bayot."

^ Harsh mo naman kay Roxas. :D

[kagalingan]

The problem with mar yung mga underlings nya. Ang dami kapalpakan bakit hindi nya masipa.

Walang tao perfecto pero ang pinaguusapan dito eh pamumuno. Sino ba sa presidentiables maganda pinakita trabaho. Its obvious si duterte and miriam (though medyo balimbing si miriam)

Grace Poe - habang tumatagal nakakatakot na ito manalo. Parang mas worst pa ito kay binay. Mahirap ang babaeng ambisyosa/opportunista.

Binay- kulong ito pag hindi nanalo.

Example ang marikina rape capital dati. Ang davao according sa news magulo 1970s-1980s. Kung pusong Etta Rosales ang presidente eh hindi kayo pwede mamuno.

Because his pedigree, intelligence, education, and experience catapult him to be the best to succeed the incumbent. But, by nature, he is overly cautious and too in the box. He is not the man in the arena. And these are characteristics of one who can hardly act decisively and swiftly in times of crisis.

Lampa.

IMO hyped din kasi yung intelligence and education ni Mar just because he had a college degree from a well known University in America. He is a bachelor's degree graduate. Binay, Miriam and Duterte will always be greater than him in terms of education because these 3 had a post graduate degree. A post graduate degree will always be greater in my book than a BS degree kahit galing USA pa yan. And let us not talk about his achievement in serving the People. For me hyped din yun (eg. BPO industry and Cheaper Medicine Law). So hyped education and hyped public service will not get a vote from me and from many pinoys as well.

With Gordon in the list...not bad.

i like gordon. he's giving the comelec a hard time. that receipt should be printed and given to the voter for verification. justice leonen made a brilliant point when he said nothing could prevent the comelec from taking that receipt back after the voter had checked if who he voted for was indeed in that receipt.

+1 here. if not mistaken he's the one & only candidate insisting that receipt should be printed out after voters cast one's vote. It only shows Gordon has no intentions to cheat during the election day.Oh & BTW welcome back atty.

Presidentiables sans the spin (1)

By: Solita Collas-Monsod
Philippine Daily Inquirer 01:21 AM April 9th, 2016

It is exactly one month to Election Day 2016, and among the most important choices that will be made by the Filipino people are who they will choose to lead the country—the president and vice president. And on that choice will depend whether we will go forward as a nation, no more the sick man of Asia, or we will fall back and limp along, with growth and development rates falling back to where they were for the period 1960-2009, with our neighbors growing more than twice as fast.

So our choices must be made on the best information we can get regarding our candidates, not on the basis of the TV ads which put the candidates’ best foot forward, to the point of lying. So, sans the spin of those commercials but based on the best research that I can do, here are the pros and cons of the candidates for president. Hopefully, these will help the Reader judge them, using three criteria: competence, people empowerment, and integrity. Failure in one should be failure in all.

Jojo Binay: With regard to competence, his pluses include his education—a UP law degree and master’s degrees (public administration, national security, law). He also has 30 years of government experience (mayor of Makati for more than 20 years, with his wife and son filling in the gaps, chair of the Metro Manila Development Authority, Vice President and housing Secretary), and he was president of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines for more than 10 years.

With regard to empowering the citizenry, he has given the citizens of Makati free uniforms, textbooks, and school supplies, the University of Makati, the Ospital ng Makati, free birthday cakes and movies and cash grants to senior citizens.

The cons of Binay have to do with his integrity. The major issue against him is his unexplained wealth (he and his family have multimillion-peso houses and condos in Makati; his bank accounts are in the hundreds of millions of pesos). He has been caught out in so many whoppers (the biggest of which is his disowning the hacienda he has in Batangas when it is common knowledge among residents in that area that he is the owner, having bought the lots from them, having hired them to work for him, and his own daughter admits that it is theirs, with pictures to prove it. The next biggest issue is his claim that he built Makati into the country’s major financial and business center (ridiculous). He also came out with a TV ad showing how his mother died because there was no money for medicine, but he later claimed that he inherited property from her (as well as another from his father).

He shares the wealth of Makati with the people of Makati, but his is by far the larger share, according to his former vice mayor and close confidant for 20 years, Ernesto Mercado. He also shares it with over 500 sister cities, but the motives for his generosity are questionable. Mercado also claims that the wealth Binay accumulated from graft and corruption over the years is at least P15 billion. That would mean roughly P30,000 per capita taken from Makati citizens. At least.

Other relevant points: He has founded a political dynasty. He has issues concerning age (74 in November) and health (the rumor is lupus).

Rodrigo Duterte: With regard to competence, he has a law degree from San Beda College. He has been mayor (or vice mayor to his daughter) of Davao City for more than 20 years, and he was a state prosecutor before then for 10 years. Also a congressman, in between mayoral terms. Four presidents (Ramos, Estrada, Arroyo, Aquino) offered him a post in the Cabinet as interior secretary; he refused all of them (they must have thought he was competent).

With regard to empowering the people: As mayor, Duterte appointed deputies to represent lumad and Muslim interests. He claims to have reduced the crime rate in Davao between 1985 and 2005, but this is disputable (police statistics show an increase between 1999 and 2008). He issued orders forbidding smoking, drinking (between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m.) and firecrackers. He also built a drug treatment and rehabilitation center giving 24-hour service, provided a 911 emergency service, and increased the number of police patrol vehicles. He has helped “Yolanda” and earthquake victims in neighboring provinces.

With regard to integrity: No corruption cases or charges against him. Painfully truthful.

Cons: Duterte has been accused by human rights groups and Amnesty International of, and has admitted to, tolerating the extrajudicial killing of alleged criminals by the vigilante Davao death squads. He has admitted to philandering and womanizing as the reason for his failed first marriage. But he has not admitted to physical abuse of his first wife, who is apparently campaigning for him. He admits to not going to church. He is the only one I know who, as a youth, was expelled by two different schools (including Ateneo de Davao) for misconduct. His propensity for profanity (even against the Pope) is legend.

Other relevant points: He has also founded a political dynasty (so the Davao mayoralty has been in Duterte hands for 28 years). He has issues concerning age (just turned 71) and health. He has admitted to having Buerger’s Disease, a swelling of blood vessels in the arms and legs which can prevent blood flow, causing clots to form. It is associated with smoking and is incurable. The only way to stop it from getting worse is to stop smoking, which he has done. The rumor is that he has been having dialysis twice weekly for the past five years. (Next week: Poe, Roxas, Santiago)

I just do not get it. You get all worked up against Mar but then saying too little against binay and poe who are more of a threat right now. Why?

didn't notice this response earlier but anyways, I can't elaborate more on what I describe binay as a trapo. i'm pretty sure you know what a trapo means. to me if binay wins, he will only take advantage of the national budget. pdaf will still continue. if he & all the other binays in the government are arrogant right now, just wait until jejomar binay will become the president.

binay for me is just as dirty as any trapo can be. no pun intended on his being a real kayumanggi but more on his traits. he can't even be loyal to his wife, how much more to the country he's serving.

poe is a threat as well. even the supreme court (or at least those who favored poe's legitimacy on her presidential candidacy is) have their price tags. she may be a nice person, I don't know but the reason why I don't like her is because of her boss danding cojuangco.

tama bai. pero, di ba pdaf was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court? so, di na puede i-continue yan, di ba?

hinay-hinay bai. may taga supreme court dito (si bro glenn). Internet libel yan. supreme court kalaban mo dyan. baka di ka makapag- exercise ng right of suffrage mo. libel, if I'm not mistaken, has an accessory penalty of perpetual denial of the right to vote 😊. baka di ka makapag vote Kay idol. sayang boto natin.

well I didn't mention names or directed this at any particular person but let me rephrase it then to be more diplomatic about it because I don't mean any disrespect for any of the members here.

I hope more people from the supreme court will come out & say they didn't support or agree with this ruling, even if it's just less than a month away from the elections.

Justices say Poe qualifications still unsettled, poll instability looms

on that note, I hope the might of the law will rule over the power of money.
