PRESIDENT: My vote goes to GT, Green Team, Galing at Talino, G1BO Teodoro! He’s not a TRAPO and with proven skills and managerial ability to run the country. Although he has the pedigree, he worked hard to prove himself to the people. Unlike LP bet AbNoynoy Aquino who only relies on the lineage of his parents Noynoy and Cory. We need a president who could hit the ground running. We need a president who could run the country on day 1. We don’t need a president who is clueless and will only be there for the reason that Franklin Drilon will once again play like a little president (and so too are the Yellow Armies).
VICE PRESIDENT: For Vice President I would go for Bayani Fernando. Edu is the second choice. KuriMar Roxas and Loren ‘Power Hungry’ Legarda are out of the question. Like G1BO, BF as a proven managerial skills. We need somebody who can work with the President and not just salivate for the presidential position all through his 6 years in office.
SENATE: I’ll vote for Tatang, Juan Ponce Enrile and Madam Miriam Defensor Santiago. Although there are twelve (12) slots, I’ll just vote for the two para panalo.
Manalo matalo, G1BO Teodoro pa rin ako. I’m keeping my finger’s cross that the Machinery of Lakas – Kampi will not fail the presidential bid of GT. To the Filipino people vote wisely, vote for G1BO. A vote for G1BO is a vote for change. Wag magpalinlang sa mga kandidatong laban lang ng laban pero walang napatunayan. Go for G1BO. Galing at Talino.

Squatter at the 10 Downing Street
Who would ever think that a loser would still stick his butt to the 10 Downing? Well, sabi nga nila Delicadeza is not in the English word that’s why Gordon Brown is sticking like super glue in the 10 Downing Street. He called an election just to gain mandate since he is not an elected PM. Remember he just took over when Tony Blair stood down. He never expected that he’ll be defeated. Although David Cameron’s Conservative won over 300 seats, it’s not a majority win and he has to form a coalition with other party (Lib Dem).
Well, ito na nga kahit na ang kapal ng mukha ni Gordon Brown, we still have to give credit to him and to the rest of the candidates in the recently concluded UK elections. The election and its result were fought through platforms of government. There we’re no mud sliding just like what AbNoynoy Aquino and LP camp are doing. Well, there’s a little mud sliding particularly on the Eton background of David Cameron but that’s all. The results were also given within 24 hours. Sadly, it’s not a majority win for Conservative and Gordon Brown still want to force himself into power. It was said that Lib Dem wouldn’t want anything to do with Gordon Brown since he is toxic. He isn’t particularly as charismatic as Tony Blair and is always seen frowning. If he wants to save his face, he should at least resign as the head of the Labor party. He failed in the election and staying as their leader is a biggest disservice to his party mates and to the labor party in general.
The BBC said that the election result created the hung parliament in over 30 years. If the government could be formed, it was given only at least 8 months to sustain. Nevertheless, this is the way Parliamentary democracy is done in Britain. I hope that in the future the Philippines will become a Parliamentary Democracy. Since 1987, there was no majority president elected. The winner is usually a minority president could not even muster 50% win. He will forever be defending his position for fear of power grab. The only solution to the current problem of our country particularly in electing a minority president is through a Constitutional Change!

Philippine Elections goes Automated
Despite the apprehensions, criticism and intrigues, the 2010 Automated Presidential Election is in full swing. We’re moving away from the flawed manual to electronic counting. The new system promises accurate and fast counting of votes.
Previous Philippine elections have been marred by massive fraud mostly in favor of the incumbent. The automated elections will also erase all the claims by the losers that they were cheated. I think it will greatly help heal the credibility issue of COMELEC.
I know that Filipinos can’t help themselves to lay claim and sometimes their claims are unfounded but it was said that the 2010 Presidential Election is the largest (in terms of scope) automated elections in Asia. An estimated 50.8 million Filipinos will go to the polls on Monday. Even Japan they is not automated. India did a partial automation in their last election were the Congress Party won the majority.
We could not please everyone so even before the automated election started, several politicians called for a parallel manual counting. They have several issues but the recent one filed by former President Erap Estrada was junked by the Supreme Court. Oldies don’t usually like change but if we don’t start this automation now, then when? We should at least try it before we say our judgment. Irresponsible parties are peddling lies and painting dark scenarios just to justify another People Power. The bad thing with People Power is that, we could install a non democratically elected person to power.
--oo0oo--
We’re hearing reports that Poll servers were not well trained. They may have been trained but it takes a little computer knowledge to operate the machines. There were poll servers who wrongly inserted the flash cards. There were instances that machines wouldn’t work but actually they (poll servers) just failed to put on the plug. There were crazy instances that the poll servers were helpless on how to turn on the machines when in fact even a grade schooler could identify the minor problem. It also did not help that we have irresponsible media e.g. ABiaS CBN, The Philippine Daily Inquirer and sometimes, the Philippine Star. These Opposition mouthpieces cloak as journalist would make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Militants say that automation could pave way to e-Garci. Well, the Garci scandal was just blown out of proportion. There weren’t any evidence to convict Garci. If there weren’t any evidence then, all Teddy Casiño was saying is just an accusation or claim and would remain the same unless he can give evidence. Militants are already occupying the congress through the Party List System yet they haven’t done anything except to encash their CDF otherwise known as Pork Barrel.
--oo0oo--
To my kababayan, let’s pray that the automated election will prosper. Don’t forget to vote for G1BO. If you don’t want to vote for G1BO, vote any other candidate except for AbNoynoy Aquino.

AbNoynoy: Sure Winner or Sore Loser?
The Yellow Army, LP, and the AbNonoy Camp are peddling lies again. They’re saying that AbNoynoy is already a sure winner basing on the surveys with sample size of 2,000. As we all know, the survey firms SWS and False Asia comprises of AbNoynoy relatives. Aside from that, there are surveys that were commissioned by AbNoynoy’s camp, LP, Yellow Army and MERALCO. As for MERALCO, we all know that the then President Cory Aquino gave back MERALCO to the Lopezes without a ‘Singkong Duling’. That’s the reason why we could not blame the Lopezes if they’re for AbNoynoy. For them (Oligarchs) it means maintaining the status quo. Manolo Lopez’s memorandum to MERALCO employees recently circulated the internet urging employees to vote for AbNoynoy. That Memo is also applicable to ABiaS CBN as well. Don’t wonder if you watch biases in their reporting because they’re for AbNoynoy for the simple reason of ‘Utang na Loob’ or debt of gratitude.
As I was saying… AbNoynoy claims that he’s already a sure winner and the only way he can lose is if he’s cheated. If he lose the election, he’s calling for a redo on EDSA. Many critics are already alarmed by the irresponsible statement of AbNoynoy. Calling for another EDSA means that he’s willing to put the lives of the people at risk just so he could become a president. I think AbNoynoy’s statement means a lot of things to a lot of people. I don’t know if it’s the helpless AbNoynoy who really want an EDSA redo or his Yellow Army who couldn’t wait to get their butt to Malacañang. They’re the same people who toppled the democratically elected president (Erap Estrada) and they’re the same people behind the Oust PGMA Movement. They’ve succeeded with Erap and not with PGMA so from 2005, they’ve been really bitter. They want blood just for their personal ambition. Nakakatakot!
Another EDSA means that we haven’t learned our lessons from our history book. Kawawang sambayanang Filipino. Our economy will go down the drain and the 9 years of economic stability under PGMA will be for nothing.
