The position could belong to one of them, but at the moment, I don't really care that much.
Mar Roxas. He hasn't really said he will run, pero duh - di naman obvious di ba? Kahit ano pa gawin niya, napaghahalata naman na gusto niyang tumakbo. I guess the Aquino admin used a strategic position in the government cabinet to put him,and mind you - at the right timing - that's about a few years before the next election season starts. para may "recall" at para lahat ng government initiatives na channeled through the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) - kay Roxas mapupunta. Parang ang lalabas tuloy matulungin siya and all that god stuff. As if naman the people don't know na sobrang pamumulitika na ginagawa nila - well, not all people actually, may mga tangang maniniwala pa rin.
His chances of winning? I guess it is a ZERO. Hahahaha
Rodrigo Duterte. He has not yet decided to run for the presidential seat - but the clamor is growing. He is popular, especially with what he has done to the city of Davao. Known to have an "iron fist" which people believe to be needed by the government in its fight against crime and corruption. Well - corruption... di talaga ako sure jan. Little has been known with his "corruption habits" simply because he is much known for his battles against crime.
Personally, he has a strong chance of winning if he runs. Yes, STRONG CHANCE of winning. He will surely get the "Mindanao Vote" and may be considered as the first person from Mindanao to get the highest post in the government. He may also get the "Bisaya Vote" which are mostly people from the Visayas and Mindanao - and that is almost half of the country (if my statistics are right).
Panfilo Lacson. Well, he ran and lost - but it appears that there is a clamor by some groups that he run again, as signified by a TV ad that is circulating as early as May 2015. He once headed the police, and he is known to be a tough guy. Well he can probably credit that to military/police training, and his position in the PNP before. There were corruption cases, murder cases hurled against him. He has some sort of a "stained' reputation, but then again, who knows, being a tough guy from the police/military could be an edge for brining in a tougher government - something that may follow Fidel Ramos' regime as president perhaps?
Personally, he may have a ZERO chance in winning. He is not popular - which is, sadly, what most voters are looking for.
Jemomar Binay. Who doesn't know him? Afterall, he is the current VP. He was the first to signify his intent to become President - and he might have decided to run after his landslide win as VP in the previous elections. He played a dramatic role in transforming Makati City to become the financial capital of the country. He has also done a marvelous job with the city of Makati - from certain perks and benefits by Makati residents. Outstanding performance indeed. Sadly, he is involved in a number of controversies - all dealing with his wealth and finances. He started political ads way too early than the rest of the possible candidates. Di mo rin naman kasi maiakkaila na siya ang nangunguna sa mga surveys - kahit na may mga controversies. Siguro madami lang mejo nabubulagan - or maybe matindi lang talaga ang paniniwala nila sa kanya.
Personally - he can win the Presidential seat - that is what the survey says. Who are the survey subjects anyway?
In any case, the game will change once the filing of candidacy comes in. Sadly, people do not look at the candidates profile and platform of government. Philippine elections is still a popularity contest.
