Gordon will!

[DonCamote]

There are those who argue that poll surveys are rigged by the sponsoring party/candidate and therefore should not be given consideration in deciding who to vote.

That was also what I thought during the campaign period for the 1998 presidential elections. I was for Roco and voted for Roco, who now resembles Gordon. however, the poll surveys reflected the outcome of the elections. in 2004, the same thing happened, what the surveys say reflected the outcome of the election. In other words, poll surveys are helpful for us to decide and vote wisely...A Gordon vote is an intelligent vote, but is not a wise vote since doing so will only help the presidential bid of Villar...Vote Wisely...Vote for Noynoy as President....

Same mindset as "winability", "sayang lang ang boto mo". Mr. Pascual of Philstar has something to say ...
"VOTING ISN’T GAMBLING: Now and then I still meet supposedly mature and educated individuals who say that they think So-and-So candidate will make an ideal president, a true leader, a reformer, but will not vote for him because he will lose anyway.

Such defeatist attitude is appalling! These are the sorry types who regard elections as gambling, who equate voting with picking and betting on a winner. They are inclined to vote for a candidate who comes strong in the surveys even if he betrays some serious character flaws."

You are the one in fantasy land! Noynoy is not the transformational nor unifying nor effective leader that our country needs. Maybe you should have a reality check and see if Noynoy has really done a difference for this country. For 9 years as a public servant, he has not done anything significant for the country.

I am not in fantasy land because Noynoy has fighting chance in winning this election and bring about the change we needed in this divided and fractious country. It is not the track record that determines whether a candidate will be bad or good, it is his character and reputation among his peers. If performance is the key, then Melito of GK should be made president because he made all the difference, but there is a concept as figurehead, charm and support of the people. Clearly, Gordon and Bayani don't carry that torch that will unite this country. Ergo, without winning an election, it will remain a product of one's imagination; a great fiction movie.

Iboto natin tong taong ito kse mabait at may good moral character kahit walang ginawa o gagawin sa bayan...If Noynoy really the hope of the people, he supposed to do some achievement when he was in the congress and later in the senate...Mag bigay nga kahit sino man dito ng at least dalawang achievement ni NoNo...bilang congressman at senador!

another fantasy land analogy.. voting a candidate just because he has the winning chance.. tsk tsk.. you are no different to a guy settling for an ugly, drugged nymphomaniac to be his wife just because she is the one most likely to sleep with him.. kudos to you..

D. Noynoy’s achievements live up to his advocacies.

Who says that Noynoy has no advocacy and does not assert the principles he believes in? Who claims that he has no experience and achievements?

Noynoy’s advocacy is clear and uncompromising. He believes that a true working democracy provides not only political freedoms but a better life for all Filipinos. A working democracy must be able to provide jobs, education, social services and equitable economic prosperity for everyone, not just the privileged few.

In his eleven years as a Representative and a Senator, Noynoy has faithfully served the Filipino people. He is now Chair of the Senate Committee on Local Government and Co-chair of the Committee on Justice and Human Rights. He is a member of, among others, the Committees on Economic Affairs, Education, Environment and Natural Resources, Justice and Human Rights, Peace, Trade and Commerce, and Urban Planning, Housing and Development.

The following were the bills he sponsored in the Senate, which reflect his pro-poor, pro-good governance conviction:

· Senate Bill No. 1370–granting an annual productivity incentive to all workers in the private sector;

· Senate Bill No. 1719–limiting the re-appointment of presidential nominees by-passed by the Commission on Appointments;

· Senate Bill No. 1710 –banning the re-appointment of a regular member of the Judicial and Bar Council who has already served the full term;

· Senate Bill No. 2035–requiring the regular maintenance and preservation of all public infrastructures;

· Senate Bill No. 2036–increasing the penalties for non-compliance of the prescribed increases and adjustments in the wage rates of workers, amending for the purpose Republic Act No. 6727;

· Senate Bill 2159–adopting the doctrine of superior responsibility to all actions involving military personnel, members of the Philippine National Police and other civilians involved in law enforcement;

· Senate Bill 2160–amending Section 4 of RA 9184, otherwise known as the Government Procurement Reform Act to further restrict exemptions to the requirement of public bidding;

· Senate Bill 2978–amending the DILG Act to further clarify the relationship between local chief executives and their respective local police chiefs; and

· Senate Bill 3121–the Budget Impoundment Control Act—strengthening legislative oversight over executive spending.

Before he was elected to the Senate, Noynoy served three terms as a member of the House of Representatives from 1998 to 2007. He was Deputy Speaker of the 13th Congress and was a member of the Committees of Banks & Financial Intermediaries, Energy Export Promotion, and Public Order & Safety.

One of his key legislative initiatives was to make the procurement of the petroleum, oil and lubricants requirements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines transparent by requiring public bidding.

Among his priority bills were House Bill No. 4251–granting annual productivity incentives to all workers in the private sector; House Bill No. 4397–strengthening the regulatory power of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to effectively enforce consumer laws; House Bill No. 4252–increasing the penalties for non-compliance of the prescribed increases and adjustments in the wage rates of workers; House Bill No. 3616–extending the reglementary period for the educational qualification for PNP members; and House Bill No. 1842 –providing for the codification of criminal laws.

He introduced House Resolution No. 65–inquiry in aid of legislation into the policies and processes of the Energy Regulatory Commission in granting rate increases to electric utilities, and House Resolution No. 788–creating a select Congressional Oversight Committee on intelligence funds to check and study the use of intelligence funds by government agencies to ensure that funds allocated therefore are utilized for the purpose they are intended.

He initiated an amendment to the General Appropriations Act requiring public bidding in the purchase of petroleum, oil and lubricant products for the Department of National Defense.

In 2004, he was stripped of his post as Deputy Speaker after he joined leaders of the Liberal Party in calling for the resignation of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at the height of the “Hello Garci” scandal.

A man of strong convictions, he lived up to his constitutional responsibility as an opposition Senator to fiscalize the executive branch of government. Noynoy thoroughly examined the General Appropriations Act for 2009 and proposed key amendments to the 2009 GAA that seek to tighten congressional oversight on the executive’s use of public funds.

He has consistently championed human rights and people’s participation. Noynoy has sought the proper relocation of informal settlers and the delineation of authority of parties involved in demolitions such as the MMDA.

Through his privilege speeches, Noynoy has drawn attention to the plight of desaparecidos and victims of extra-judicial killings. He is also part of the bicameral debates on the Anti-Torture Act.

He introduced substantial amendments to the Cooperative Code to make it more responsive to the needs of the marginalized sector for whom the code was enacted.

Noynoy actively participated in the hearings that investigated the alleged misuse of public funds, such as the ZTE-NBN deal, the “Euro Generals” and the Fertilizer Fund scam. These hearings highlighted the need for increased transparency and accountability in the disbursal of taxpayers’ money.

Noynoy was vigilant in the hearings regarding the sale of TRANSCO and PNOC-EDC. He questioned the sale of revenue-generating assets of these two key corporations prior to their privatization.

Noynoy has also had executive experience in the private sector. His first job, at age 23, was at the Philippine Business for Social Progress (1983). It was interrupted by the tragedy of his father’s assassination on 21 August 1983. He had always to be at the side of his mother and sisters during these difficult times. Two years later, he took up managerial and marketing positions at Nike Philippines and Mondragon Philippines (1985-1986). When his mother became President, Noynoy left Mondragon for reasons of delicadeza. He joined their family corporations: Strata Assurance Corp. as its vice-president, and the Best Security Agency Corporation as its vice-president and treasurer (1986-1993). He later worked for the Central Azucarera de Tarlac, starting out as executive assistant for administration and later, becoming field services manager (1993-1996). It was again out of delicadeza that Noynoy entered politics only in 1998, six years after the term of office of his mother. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1998 and was re-elected in 2001 and 2004.

[SIZE="4"]Gordon calls for less rice in Filipinos’ diet
By Cathy C. Yamsuan
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Filed Under: Richard Gordon, rice problem
MANILA, Philippines -- Eat less rice and be healthy. Import less rice and have a better economy.

That’s according to Sen. Richard Gordon, who has called on Filipinos to eat less rice, not only to avoid health problems such as diabetes, but also to help government better manage its rice supply.

“We should eat less rice ... because [too much is] bad for our health. Diabetes comes with too many carbohydrates. I would like a campaign like that,” said Gordon, the standard-bearer of the Bagumbayan party.

Carbohydrates like rice break down as sugar and are stored as fat when not burned as energy.
And an eat-less-rice program would the doctor’s prescription against lifestyle diseases like obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, Gordon said.

His less-rice program is still sketchy at this stage, but he said it would involve the use of mongo, camote and cassava as replacements of the staple.

Asked if he thought the public would take to this gustatory shift, Gordon noted that Filipino migrants eventually adjusted to new cuisine.

“When you go to America there’s a [different culinary] paradigm. We just have to stretch ourselves a little bit more. Life would already be more difficult with climate change, so we have to be smarter. We have to consider [less rice] for health reasons,” he said.

Gordon’s School of Economics theorizes that if Filipinos eat less rice, there would be less imports and more dollar savings.

Taken a little farther, lesser rice consumption coupled with better irrigation technology can mean rice surplus—ergo, the possibility of exportation that is equivalent to dollar earnings.

“If we sell rice abroad, we make more dollars. If we sell less, we earn less,” he said. “If we want to earn more dollars from our rice, we should be a more rice-producing and -exporting nation.”

To set the tone, Gordon said, the country would still import rice in the first three years of his administration.

But within this period, he plans to accelerate the creation of irrigable lands by building more and smaller catchment dams nationwide to collect rainwater and prevent flooding.

Gordon said the prevalence of El Niño in the Pacific area made it imperative for the Philippines to consider radical solutions, especially because the adverse weather pattern hurt agricultural workers the most.

He said his campaign for less rice and additional irrigation plots would be “part of a new frame of mind for Filipinos.”

“We need to wake up this nation from slumber... We need to teach a culture of productivity,” he said.

[SIZE="4"]Less rice for all of us when gordon takes the presidency[/SIZE]

[mikmik316]

Ok lang sakin yan. Dapat naman talaga kumain tayo ng monggo, camote at cassava which are very cheap to produce and will not require us to eat more rice.

Camote & Cassava are good carbohydrates unlike rice which is bad for diabetics.

Definitely this is a Gordon Action Plan na napag isipan ng maigi. May health, financial, economic, social impact. He obvously doesn't want more rice imports. He wants us to export rice. Tingnan mo Vietnam ngayon mas angat satin because they can export rice.

I was also impressed by another Gordon interview wherein he will prioritize & fast track the rehabilitation of railroads to ease Metro Manila traffic & at the same time speed-up commerce between North & South Luzon.

At the very least, he has action plans. Even Villar has action plans. Abnoy wala akong narinig na action plan nya, puro pangako. Just like his bills in Senate & Congress, puro advocacies, wala man lang napasang law. Puro sa simula lang but no follow through.

Kung tutuusin, you can view it as HALF-HEARTED EFFORTS with no end goal in mind. Di pwedeng sabihin na kasi walang support ng ibang congressmen/senator or being stopped by lobbyists/malacanang. If you are a true statesman, you should have asked the moderates in congress & senate to vote for your advocacies for it to push through. You should have compromised with the hard line / oppositionists to your advocacies so that you can pass the law. But of course, tamad at batugan at in cognito ang style ni Abnoy, tapos ngayon sasabihin nya na ang dami nyang na-accomplish?

Gordon has 30 years of executive & legislative experience. Abnoy only has 9 years of legislative experience. Gordon has under his belt the landmark Automated Elections Law. Abnoy has offered nothing but advocacies that he cannot even ask his peers to side for him. No political will, no executive will, pupulutin tayo sa kangkungan pag si Abnoy ang presidente.

Only a really stupid candidate will say that he will not increase or create new taxes.

In one page is the achievement and carreer of Noynoy Aquino.
Any awards or distinction?
Asked so many times, in his nine years as congressman of Tarlac what has he done to change or impove his district?
Anong ang nagyari sa priority bill niya?
Sa mga sponsored bill?
Among the things you wrote what has been the limelight of Noynoys carreer, i hope its championed human rights.

He is a member of, among others, the Committees on Economic Affairs, Education, Environment and Natural Resources, Justice and Human Rights, Peace, Trade and Commerce, and Urban Planning, Housing and Development.

The following were the bills he sponsored in the Senate, which reflect his pro-poor, pro-good governance conviction:

· Senate Bill No. 1370–granting an annual productivity incentive to all workers in the private sector;

· Senate Bill No. 1719–limiting the re-appointment of presidential nominees by-passed by the Commission on Appointments;

· Senate Bill 2978–amending the DILG Act to further clarify the relationship between local chief executives and their respective local police chiefs; and

· Senate Bill 3121–the Budget Impoundment Control Act—strengthening legislative oversight over executive spending.

Before he was elected to the Senate, Noynoy served three terms as a member of the House of Representatives from 1998 to 2007. He was Deputy Speaker of the 13th Congress and was a member of the Committees of Banks & Financial Intermediaries, Energy Export Promotion, and Public Order & Safety.

One of his key legislative initiatives was to make the procurement of the petroleum, oil and lubricants requirements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines transparent by requiring public bidding.

Among his priority bills were House Bill No. 4251–granting annual productivity incentives to all workers in the private sector; House Bill No. 4397–strengthening the regulatory power of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to effectively enforce consumer laws; House Bill No. 4252–increasing the penalties for non-compliance of the prescribed increases and adjustments in the wage rates of workers; House Bill No. 3616–extending the reglementary period for the educational qualification for PNP members; and House Bill No. 1842 –providing for the codification of criminal laws.

He introduced House Resolution No. 65–inquiry in aid of legislation into the policies and processes of the Energy Regulatory Commission in granting rate increases to electric utilities, and House Resolution No. 788–creating a select Congressional Oversight Committee on intelligence funds to check and study the use of intelligence funds by government agencies to ensure that funds allocated therefore are utilized for the purpose they are intended.

He initiated an amendment to the General Appropriations Act requiring public bidding in the purchase of petroleum, oil and lubricant products for the Department of National Defense.

In 2004, he was stripped of his post as Deputy Speaker after he joined leaders of the Liberal Party in calling for the resignation of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at the height of the “Hello Garci” scandal.

A man of strong convictions, he lived up to his constitutional responsibility as an opposition Senator to fiscalize the executive branch of government. Noynoy thoroughly examined the General Appropriations Act for 2009 and proposed key amendments to the 2009 GAA that seek to tighten congressional oversight on the executive’s use of public funds.

He has consistently championed human rights and people’s participation. Noynoy has sought the proper relocation of informal settlers and the delineation of authority of parties involved in demolitions such as the MMDA.

Through his privilege speeches, Noynoy has drawn attention to the plight of desaparecidos and victims of extra-judicial killings. He is also part of the bicameral debates on the Anti-Torture Act.

He introduced substantial amendments to the Cooperative Code to make it more responsive to the needs of the marginalized sector for whom the code was enacted.

Noynoy actively participated in the hearings that investigated the alleged misuse of public funds, such as the ZTE-NBN deal, the “Euro Generals” and the Fertilizer Fund scam. These hearings highlighted the need for increased transparency and accountability in the disbursal of taxpayers’ money.

Noynoy was vigilant in the hearings regarding the sale of TRANSCO and PNOC-EDC. He questioned the sale of revenue-generating assets of these two key corporations prior to their privatization.

Noynoy has also had executive experience in the private sector. His first job, at age 23, was at the Philippine Business for Social Progress (1983). It was interrupted by the tragedy of his father’s assassination on 21 August 1983. He had always to be at the side of his mother and sisters during these difficult times. Two years later, he took up managerial and marketing positions at Nike Philippines and Mondragon Philippines (1985-1986). When his mother became President, Noynoy left Mondragon for reasons of delicadeza. He joined their family corporations: Strata Assurance Corp. as its vice-president, and the Best Security Agency Corporation as its vice-president and treasurer (1986-1993). He later worked for the Central Azucarera de Tarlac, starting out as executive assistant for administration and later, becoming field services manager (1993-1996). It was again out of delicadeza that Noynoy entered politics only in 1998, six years after the term of office of his mother. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1998 and was re-elected in 2001 and 2004.
