So why Gibo?

[Autobeat]

So let's talk about the much in power Lakas-Kampi-CMD and current administration presidential bet, Gibo.

So to start, why Gibo? What has he achieved as a Tarlac Congressman for 3 terms, as NDCC chairman, as Secretay of Defense? Was his pay, his staffs' pay and their expenses we paid for through tax money, worth his results, if any?

I hope supporters may share more about his credentials other than him sitting in those government positions, and maybe his early campaigning TV ad, disguised as an NDCC infommercial. . .

In fairness to Gibo, baka meron naman, so let's hear it from those who may know.

Maybe you should have asked the question in the 2010 Presidential Elections polls thread. There are several Gibo supporters in there already.

Ang sa akin, kung si Gibo din lang, kay Gordon na...

[4wrider]

I will vote for Gibo not because he is GMA's candidate but because of his positive campaign, great mind, excellent training (tutored no less by Estelito Mendoza and as Legislator and DND Secretary) and his approach towards reform which is to innovate and improve the existing system (compared to complete and costly changeover of policies, programs, projects and people).

I will not vote for those who foment hatred and foster division among our people. They will only perpetuate the deep and unproductive factionalism in the country.

[ajOT]

Since this is a Gibo thread; may I ask:
- what have he done great things/improvements for our country?
- what is his short term & long term goals, if he is elected?
- aint he aspiring to much to be a President of our Republic?

Pag nag independent to malakas sana to

Ayoko si GIBO. TUTA ni GMA

[mikmik316]

Dagdagan muna nya public service nya bago sya kumandidato bilang pangulo.

9 years congressman, 2 years DnD secretary ain't enough.

And take note, isa sya sa mga gusto magpa-impeach kay Hilario Davide! Dahil sandamakmak ang talong kaso ni Danding.

Kaya wag kayo papaloko jan!

Stinking baggage.....

I really love this guy hearing on debates. though debate is just one thing...

Gibo slowly grew on me when I watched presidential forums and other shows that featured him like in Probe Profiles. I've followed most of the news with regards to presidential aspirants, even though he doesn't get as much as media mileage as the two other leading contenders.

Initially I was disgusted with his early 'infomercials' with the NDCC, especially during one time when he unexpectedly plugged himself during the Pacquiao-Hatton fight greeting all the viewers.

I've watched most candidates with the Probe Profiles and his profile was the most impressive for me. It showcased his trainings, morals, and principles which I would say are rather aligned to my own. If you watched Noynoy's you would see how he'd slouch in his chair (like he always does), like some guy watching TV at home. Would you like to be represented see your President slouch during an international summit?

Anyway, back to Gibo. If you listen closely to his answers and talks, you'll know that there's substance and sometimes even specific ideas on how to solve issues. Not to mention, he is REALISTIC. You don't get much motherhood statements from him as to compared to Noynoy, or suddenly make a quick reference to how he was once poor and prospered like Villar.

With regards to his association with PGMA, I'm inclined to believe that he is his own man. An intelligent person would never allow himself to be under someone else. Once you become President, wouldn't it be foolish to become a puppet of someone else? (Unless you're living during the Japanese occupation!) Those who consider him as a "tuta of GMA" have really shallow minds. I'd say he moved to Lakas-Kampi-CMD for it's machinery, not to mention NPC was already cooking up its own President and VP at that time.

I've written a lot already though I don't think I've been able to express everything yet, so I guess that's it for now and would just continue later on.

Cheers!

SULONG GIBO!!! SULONG PILIPINAS!!!

of all the candidates Gordon is one of the most capable to run our gov't..but sadly hindi sya mananalo because he aint popular enough

[tidus1203]

Which goes back to our lesser evil theory... If Gordon can't win who is the lesser evil but has a chance of winning? Maybe GIBO! As the campaigning starts I expect to see GIBO go up there and topple ERAP for 3rd place given the admins machinery. Enough to topple Acquino and Villar, unlikely unfortunately...

[chrismarte]

maybe because Gibo is under administration kaya sya nahihila pababa, sinusundan kasi si Gibo ng mga multo na ginawa ni GMA.

Kung makikita sa news, after the debates na mga sinalihan nya umaangat ang pangalan nya.

Ano kaya ang nangyari kung di sya lumipat ng partido same pa rin kaya ang ratings nya?

for me still undecided pa!but definitely not Villar....

sad but true. but that won't stop me from rooting for him. come to think of it, Gordon has the experience both at the executive and legislative position. and he did a good job at both.

noynoy? - even at the legislative position, he pales in comparison with some of his colleagues.

villar - i don't know. he's 50/50 to become good or bad

Gibo - good qualifications. but untested. needs more experience

erap - God save us!

jamby - Juday sold us.

who else?
