MAY 14....

is the local election day here in the Philippines. Not really excited about it though, i don't know who I am going to vote for senator.. Philippines is known for corrupt politicians, well in my opinion, all politicians are the same, they are all corrupt, so might as well vote for the candidate who is the most decent and smart looking...

I have conversed with an ordinary security guard while I'm having a cigarette break, and we have talked about the elections...He said that he will be voting for those candidates who are young and smart...because these young candidates are more aggressive than those veteran candidates..

So far, I'll be voting for these candidates:


Manny Villar...when I was in college, this guy went to our school to have a seminar regarding entrepreneurship, and I can say that this guy has CHARMS. He walked inside the room and all students stopped chatting and was silenced by his aura. Well, he is an ENTREPRENEUR, and he had the right to talk about entrepreneurship. His business is real estate and I think he owns LAS PIñAS because of his housing business. He was not born from a well-off family, he started from scratch and all his money (which is in billions, real estate alone) were earned from his own sweat and hardwork. I like this guy, I don't think he'll be robbing the country's money because his great great great great grand children will survive and will be living an luxurious life with his existing assets.

Chiz Escudero...young, smart and aggressive...have seen this guy on a local TV debate show for senators and I can say that he really stood out on the crowd...he answered the host's questions with brief, concise and straight to the point answers unlike those veterans who likes to spin their answers around (not getting the point really!) I was really impressed...one sure vote for this guy...

Alan Peter Cayetano...son of the former senator Renato Cayetano..I saw this guy on the local news exposing the first gentleman's dirty transactions involving the president's savings in Germany...very brave and feisty!! maybe he's got bright plans for the country, I hope..



Noynoy Aquino...son of the late Ninoy Aquino and former president Cory Aquino (and brother of the famous host Kris Aquino, hehehe)...this guy is smart, you can tell from his looks, hehehe...nerdy enough for me...I don't think this guy is corrupt, I don't know why but I've got a good feeling on this guy so I'll be voting him...

Wow! out of the 36 candidates, I'll be voting only 4...what a pity...I don't want to vote for those artists who are wannabe senators...one good reason: they do not know about politics! Even a lawyer-senator is having a hard time passing a law here in the Philippines, then tell me how can an ordinary-good looking artist can pass a law??? Are they gonna smile on their fellow senators???

Well, that's about it for the mean time...
