Rise of Grace Poe

[Juan Martinez]

personal observatuon ko lang....
kapag babae ang presidente ng pinas, talamak ang kurapsyon sa pinas.
yung una hindi man sya kurap, ginamit naman sya ng mga tao sa paligid nya para mangurap.
yung pangalawa naman kasama sya pati ang buong pamilya nya.

good observation. but it doesn't necessarily follow GP will do a GMA. the latter, from her face alone already reeks with greed; cory was meek for a leader. GP is assertive without being abrasive. And who she is up against? that KAWATAN from makati? that VIGILANTE from davao? that former CPNP who was a fugitive from justice? that Mr. Palengke who was the first to say the mamasampano incident a MISENCOUNTER? now, speaking of palengke, if we go there and buy fish, of course, we'll choose the one that is better looking and fresh. And we are just talking about buying fish, how much more in choosing a president? Duterte a 70 y.o. vigilante, Roxas a recycled politician, Binay the crook, Lacson the wanted gay, este, guy of Class 71, who else? compare them to Grace Poe. I buy the latter anytime anywhere. At 47, and for president, she still looks fresh and, im sure to mr. llamanzares, yummy.

Sen. Poe wants victims of latest MRT-3 breakdown compensated
PDI, March 27, 2015 04:42pm

Passengers of Metro Rail Transit-3 (MRT-3), who were suffocated and forced to walk on railways Thursday night due to another technical glitch, should be compensated accordingly, Sen.Grace Poe said Friday.

At the same time,Poe asked the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) to promptly submit a full report on the latest MRT3 incident.

"The unfortunate series of breakdowns were aggravated by the poor, incapable and incompetent maintenance of the MRT. This is frustrating," she said in a statement.

"At the very least, the DOTC must implement all it can at the moment to ease the burden and guarantee the safety of the riding public," she added.

Poe said, "The inconvenienced MRT passengers must be compensated accordingly and their fares reimbursed."

To end passengers' woes, the senator urged the immediate completion of the vowed overhaul of the MRT system and the re-awarding of its maintenance contract.

Poe, who led the Senate hearings on the state of public sector in the country, reminded Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya's promise to ensure the completion of the needed upgrade and rehabilitation of the MRT. xxx

Senators in 2016: Whos running for what

PDI, April 08, 2015 05:11am

The senate has usually been fertile ground for the country's next crop of executive leaders and several of its 24 members might just be major players in next year's elections for the presidency and vice presidency.
Half of those speculated to throw their hat into the political ring in 2016 ultimately have nothing to lose, as they are in the middle of their terms and would return to the Senate if the odds do not fall in their favor.
Senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and detained Bong Revilla Jr. are among those considering the prospect of running for President in 2016. But whether or not they will push through with it remains to be seen. Revilla declared earlier that his incarceration will not stop his 2016 plans.

GRACE POE

Neophyte Sen. Grace Poe has so far been less than categorical about her 2016 plans, but has been the subject of calls for her to seek higher office, which she said she would take into consideration.
Poe, who got most of the votes in the 2013 senatorial race, has been floated as a possible candidate for the presidency. She has also topped recent surveys for the electorate's preferred Vice President, and several possible team ups with her as Vice President have been broached.
Earlier, there was speculation that Poe might join forces with Sen. Francis Escudero, who has yet to disclose his 2016 plans, if any.
Sen. Antonio Trillanes has said he wants to run for Vice President, but would rather wait for his party's decision if it would choose to field him for this post.
Sen. Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada, also in detention like Revilla, is reportedly among those being considered to be the running mate of Vice President Jejomar Binay.
Of these possible candidates, Poe, Cayetano, Escudero and Trillanes are assured of keeping a government post once elections are over, since they have just come from securing their six-year Senate terms during the 2013 elections.

Graduating senators

Santiago, Revilla and Estrada are among the "graduating" senators, or those coming to the end of their two consecutive terms. They are no longer allowed to run for another term in the Senate next year.
Marcos is about to complete his first six-year term and is eligible for another one. He would have to choose between seeking an executive post and a legislative one when he runs next year.
There are also other factors that could affect which senators would actually go ahead and run for top executive posts, not least of which are their rankings in the surveys, especially those conducted close to the date of the filing of certificates of candidacy.

Santiago is currently battling stage 4 lung cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Estrada and Revilla are both in jail and facing plunder charges.

The configurations of the teams for the top two executive posts are still up in the air. There are several possible major players outside the Senate who have yet to make their move.

Binay's running mate, Roxas

Binay, the current topnotcher in surveys for the presidency, is still mulling over who to pick as his running mate.
Interior Secretary Mar Roxas is the presumptive standard-bearer of the ruling Liberal Party, though he has yet to categorically say if he would run in 2016.
Recently, a group of retired police and military officials called on former Sen. Panfilo Lacson Jr. to seek higher office, in tandem with Poe.

Joseph Estrada, Duterte

There have also been reports that former President Joseph Estrada, who failed to complete his first term after being ousted in a mass revolt, might consider running for president. Estrada, the incumbent Manila mayor, had said he would consider running if neither Binay nor Poe, the daughter of his friend Fernando Poe Jr., would seek the presidency.
Several groups have been clamoring for Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to join the race for Malacañang. His party, the PDP-Laban, is considering fielding him as its standard-bearer.
It also remains to be seen which political parties would coalesce or team up for the 2016 elections.

Political ties fluid

In the Philippines, political partnerships tend to be fluid. Parties or individuals who are at each other's throats one moment could be linking arms the next.
Also, party affiliations do not always matter greatly, since many politicians could change their colors at the drop of a hat and suffer no lasting consequences.
Moreover, if a politician refuses to join one group or another, he or she can just establish his or her own party.

Admin coalition, opposition

At present, the administration's Liberal Party is allied with the Nacionalista Party, the Nationalist People's Coalition, PDP-Laban and the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino.
But this alliance could dissolve next year when the major players position their candidates for the next round of political games.

The opposition party is the United Nationalist Alliance of Binay.

The Senate also has other graduating members, who have so far not hinted at any plans to run for top executive posts next year. They are Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, who is also detained for plunder, Pia Cayetano and Manuel "Lito" Lapid.
Lapid is reported to be eyeing a local post in Pampanga.
His son, Mark, Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority chief operations officer, is reportedly running for the Senate.
The Cayetanos are also planning to field Taguig Rep. Lino Cayetano in next year's senatorial race.
Several of the incumbent senators are also eligible to run for a second consecutive term next year.
They are Senate President Franklin Drilon, Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto, and Senators Vicente Sotto III, Sergio Osmea III and Teofisto Guingona III.
Senators Loren Legarda, Cynthia Villar, Nancy Binay, Sonny Angara, JV Ejercito, Aquilino Pimentel III, Gregorio Honasan and Paolo Benigno Aquino IV are currently in the middle of their six-year terms they won in 2013, and have so far not been rumored to have plans to seek higher office.
Since 1998, the country's Presidents have all cut their teeth in the Senate before ascending to Malacañang.
Joseph Estrada, a popular actor and longtime San Juan mayor before he sought national office, became known as one of the members of the "Magnificent 12" senators who had voted to remove the US bases from the country.
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo topped the 1995 senatorial elections and later successfully ran for Vice President. She eventually became President after Estrada's ouster in a mass uprising and won another term in 2004.
President Aquino was on his first term as senator when he chose to run for chief executive following a wave of public sympathy generated by the death of his well-loved mother, former President Corazon Aquino.

Pacquiao running for president—Arum | Inquirer Sports

Filipino boxing champion and Saranggani Representative Manny Pacquiao will run for president, promoter Bob Arum said.

A report from TMZ Sports quoted Arum as saying Pacquiao would run as Philippine president in the future.

“He’s gonna be a president. He’s gonna run for Senate in the Philippines in 2016 … and then in 2022 or maybe later, he’ll run for president of the Philippines,” Arum was quoted as saying in the report.

In 2010, then 32-year-old Pacquiao won a congressional seat in the province of Saranggani in Mindanao.

By the 2022 national elections, Pacquiao will be 43 years old, above the 40-year-old age requirement to qualify as candidate for the presidency.

[shadow]

not really. what if the grandson of the president of the people's republic of china xi jiping will come here and run for president in 2016?

Natural born Filipino is non negotiable., it's common sense.

But the other qualifications are BS...useless...as in nothing...

Qualifications for an entry level office staff are more stringent.

Grace Poe closes in on VP Binay in SWS 'presidentiable' survey

Thursday, April 16, 2015 7:18AM

(Updated 8:36 a.m.) Senator Grace Poe is one of the strong contenders for the presidency if elections were held today as the latest survey by pollster Social Weather Stations showed she has narrowed the gap between her and first-placer Vice President Jejomar Binay.

The SWS survey conducted March 20 to 23 showed second-placer Poe enjoying a big increase from her previous 21 percent rating in December to 31 percent in March.

Binay remained on top with 36 percent, a one-percent drop from the 37 percent in December.

Binay had suffered huge drops in his satisfaction ratings since he was linked to corruption charges. His camp has denied the allegations, saying these were politically motivated.

On the other hand, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte was third place in the survey, also surging ahead to 15 percent in March from 5 percent in December.

Poe and Duterte have yet to announce their plans to run for president in 2016.

The survey had asked respondents to name up to three people who they thought should succeed President Benigno Aquino III.

Results of the survey were posted Thursday on SWS' media partner BusinessWorld.

Duterte tied with Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II, whose score fell to 15 percent from 19 percent in December.

Tied for fifth and sixth were Sen. Miriam Santiago with 11 percent (10 percent in December) and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada with 11 percent (9 percent in December).

Sen. Francis Escudero was seventh with 8 percent in March (9 percent in December). Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was eighth with 7 percent (3 percent in December), and Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano was ninth with 4 percent (3 percent in December).

Poe, Duterte

In December, Poe said she is not yet ready to make a decision as to her political plans in the next elections.

“Para sa 'kin, wala naman akong balak, pero salamat sa pagmamahal. Gayunpaman, sa tingin ko, 'di naman 'yan magiging problema pa sa ngayon dahil wala pa naman akong sinasabi,” Poe said.

“Hindi pa nga ako handa. Kaya nga hindi rin ako nagsasabi na sigurado ako dahil pati ako, kailangan ko pa talagang isipin,” she added.

Likewise, Duterte said last February he is not keen on running in the 2016 presidential elections.

"Wala pa ako sa track na 'yan," Duterte told reporters. "As of this moment, I am not running for president."

"Early on, I have said I am not interested, it does not appeal to me," he added. "The presidency is a distant star for me."

However, another report said Duterte can still be swayed if the public asks him to run.

"If God will place me there, there will be a difference. 'Pag ako ang makapasok [sa pagkapangulo], magugulo tayo,” he said.

1,200 people surveyed

The survey used face-to-face interviews with 1,200 adults nationwide and had sampling error margins of ±3 points for national percentages, and ±6 points each for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. — Joel Locsin/LBG/KG, GMA News

“It inspires me that our people approve of what I have been doing and I will continue to do what I think is right and for the best interest of our countrymen,” she said.

“Patuloy akong magsisikap na gawin kung ano ang tama at makakatulong sa mas nakararami (I will continue to strive doing what is right and beneficial to the majority).”

malamang kinakabahan na si Nogie :D

Palace unconcerned over results of SWS 'presidentiables' survey

Thursday, April 16, 2015 6:03PM

By PATRICIA DENISE CHIU,GMA News

Instead of concerning itself with the results of the Social Weather Stations survey on who would strong contenders for the presidency if elections were held today, Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the Aquino administration will focus on producing results.

“‘Yan pong mga survey na ‘yan, para po sa kabatiran ‘yan at kaalaman ng general public at ng sambayanang Pilipino, at maaaring magsilbing gabay sa kanila ito. Pero ang pokus po namin ngayon ay hindi sa mga kandidato o sa eleksyon, kung hindi sa trabaho ng pamahalaan,” Coloma said in a press briefing.

“Nanatiling nakatuon ang ating pamahalaan sa pagpapatupad ng mga programa at proyekto para sa pagpapahusay ng ekonomiya at pagpapatatag sa mga repormang nasimulan na at nais makumpleto sa mga nalalabing buwan ng termino ni Pangulong Aquino,” he added.

In its latest survey, pollster SWS showed that Senator Grace Poe is one of the strong contenders for the presidency, narrowing the gap between her and Vice President Jejomar Binay, who is at the top spot.

The SWS survey conducted March 20 to 23 showed Poe enjoying a big increase from her previous 21 percent rating in December to 31 percent in March.

Binay remained on top with 36 percent, slightly lower than the 37 percent in December.

Binay had suffered huge drops in his satisfaction ratings since he was linked to corruption charges. His camp has denied the allegations, saying these were politically motivated.

On the other hand, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte placed third on the survey, also surging ahead to 15 percent in March from 5 percent in December.

Tied with Duterte is Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, the likely candidate of the administration Liberal Party.

PNoy, not yet ready to name chosen candidate

Meanwhile, Coloma confirmed that in an interview with the Agence France-Presse (AFP), Aquino mentioned that he could be naming a chosen candidate as early as June.

"Narinig ko 'yon dahil saksi ako doon sa interview at marami pa ring mga ibang tanong na kahawig din 'yung sagot niya," Coloma said.

Still, Coloma said the president is not yet ready to name his chosen successor.

“Ang sinabi na lang niya ay ‘mainam na maghintay na lamang sa aking ilalahad,’” Coloma said.

However, Coloma also said that Aquino will not make his choice based on the personality, but rather on his sucessor’s capability to continue the administration’s reform agenda.

“Ang pokus po ng kanyang mensahe sa ating mga mamamayan ay doon sa prinsipyo na sa kanilang pagpapasya dapat isaalang-alang ‘yung kahalagahan na maipagpatuloy at makumpleto ang transpormasyon at reporma na naisagawa na,” Coloma said. — JDS, GMA News
