Gibo?

December 8, 2009

I understand that Gilbert Teodoro is a good, capable man fit to run our country. He is a well-educated person who looks honest and honorable.

I won’t vote for him. Let me spell out why.

Gloria is going to run and win as congresswoman of her hometown. There is no question about that. Consequently, she and her henchmen has expressed several times that one of her main objectives is Charter Change and that she will continue gunning for it when she gets her seat in the legislative. If an administration candidate wins - Gibo - little is left to the imagination as to what will happen next. He will not stand in the way of Gloria resuming her seat of power because he values utang na loob so much.

I’m sure that as a Filipino who had to live through Gloria’s illegal and inefficient administration this scenario is the last thing you ever want to happen. I don’t care if Gibo is sincere in his intention to serve us. I don’t trust his backer so I don’t trust him. Call it a fallacy - this is just me trying to make sure that my family’s future is as prosperous and secure as possible. Call this instinct.

I know that our the presidential roster leaves much to be desired (as usual) but if you were to vote for anyone, try not to vote for someone who has close ties to the administration. I will not ask you this if Gloria is not running for Congress, but since she is, try to use a little brain power when you shade that name in the ballot next May.
