Next Top Candidate

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.
 

MAKATI in my MIND

Yes, binoto ko sa Jejomar Binay nung tumakbo siya as VP. E ano ngayon, e naiwala ako kakayahan niya – na kaya din niya gawin sa buong Pilipinas ang ginawa niya sa Makati. I was wrong. Ang ganda kasi ng Makati…well, at least maraming bahagi ng Makati. Ang ganda ng mga benepisyo ng mga tao, libre education, may health benefits, may mga stuff for Senior Citizens. Parang too good to be true ang mga benepisyo ng pagiging taga Makati. Siyempre, ninanais mo rin na mangyari ito sa buong bansa. Pero after 4 years, parang wala naming nangyari. Lalo lang nahalata ang ambisyon ni Binay na mamuno sa bansa bilang Presidente. Ang layu-layo pa ng election, nangangampanya na. Nakakairita lang. Eto pa at nahahalungkat na ang mga itinatagong baho ni Binay. Alam naman ng lahat ang pinakabagong controversy ni Binay ngayon – ang Building na over-proced daw, at ang mga tagong yaman sa may Batangas. In spite all of the hullabaloo, the Vice President remained silent. In spite the Senate invitation during the hearings, he refused to air his side – but instea, called for a Press Conference which was supposed to explain his side of the story. I saw that presscon – and what he said was not something new. It wasn’t more of an explanation, it sounded like – an election campaign speech. Yet silence can be strong indication that he might not be doing anything wrong – BUT – too much silence could mean otherwise. Yes, tama naman na kung wala kang ginagawang masama, kaya mong humarap kahit kanino, kahit saan at kahit anong oras. Sad. Pero, gusto ko pa rin bumalik sa Makati. Saludo pa rin ako sa mga benepisyo na natatamasa ng mga tao doon. Sa Makati pa rin ako boboto sa susunod na election. Binay for President? No, I don’t think so.
