Competence and character, these are the qualifications I learned from Pastor PTC based in the Bible when he preach on a service last sunday. A week before the 2010 Philippine election.
exodus 18:21
"Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens.
I just want to highlight three pick of candidates from presidential, which I eye for the 2010 election.
I had one week to review all of them. Perhaps, they are ten all in all, running and competing to win the position.
My final picks among the eight candidates are: Gibo, Gordon and Noynoy.
Let's review them according to my view.As I review their qualifications over the internet thru forums and one on one interviews. I was so interested, for all the candidates has a say to lead the country,except one :{.
They share common good visions and aspirations on how to resolve major issues of the country, some of which are:for a better and progressive nation, a dignified filipino living and name and a transparent and clean governance (no graft and corruption).
So relievng to think and aspire too as a Filipino. I am not much interested in Philippine politics but now I stand to count for the change of this country.
To assesss them one by one:
Gibo is so intelligent and systematic.By having him as the president will mean a change of a stature of our country's leader. With integrity: more persuading and dignified representative of our nation to international affairs and relations. However, I think his lack of practicality and appeal for the mass will lead him to loosing the presidential position.So sad, we need a leader like just like him. "At least my matino man lang and my mukhang credible" that we can trust our nation for progress and hope. He is good and his platforms are systematic and have directions,although i can suspect that his project development will/ can be achieved in a slow pace terms, but sure progress. I just don't know exactly about his moral standing since he doesn't pay much attention saying about it. I believe, he agrees with artificial family planning. Which God forbids.
Let's go to Gordon--- Gordon is a man of action. He is intelligent in ways that gives practical solutions, have strong visions and promise to do it all at ones.But in some point-- is not systematic and realistic.It's easy to say things especially when all you think is for the common good of the people. However the question is--Is it achievable overtime?, as he had been promising?At a given time or resources, or reality we are into?
There have many factor to consider to think about it seriously before taking actions just that. He claims to be the most experienced in governance and public service among the presidential candidates. That's why with keen analysis, Gordon is my hearty pick for my yes, Why? Because, although he is small man, he has this big vision and passion to satisfy the need of the common filipino people. And strongly promise to do so.With his platforms and strategies in mind, I believe, faith and cooperation with all filipinos are compulsory to make it become achievable. Sadly, even I know he won't win the position, I still go for him as my principle shouts for it.
Noynoy was the initial pick of mine. At first I am confident because I surely knew that he's going to win.Considering the heart of the majority of Filipinos for him. We, Filipinos are sentimental and emotional.And these factor affects how we decide especially on major issues publicly. Noynoy claims a "Matuwid na Pamamalakad," and he will do his best to serve the country. And if there will be in-capabilities he have, He will offer it to God, he humbly admits. Well, pretty logical for a Christian to absorb this thinking. I mean, yes, I agree. Base on his capabilities to lead, it's not so strong for me to have confidence of.Maybe, we will see. We can't claim that he has no good qualification to lead the country in terms of experience. Nevertheless it's not a concrete reason to consider.As far as I believe that he is a good man and that he is exposed to politics and public service for many years. Now, if given the chance to be the leader of the country, will be his prerogative to show everyone that he has a say and will have the chance to prove to his critics that they are mistakenly right about what they think of him. I believe that he posses the character to handle a clean governance, and it's a major factor to achieve progress and success for our country. I hope that he will be more concrete and will have a strong stand as a leader of our country, Philippines.
NEW UPDATE: May 11, 2010
Noynoy Aquino won the 2010 Philippine Presidential election-- not bad!
what's the say of his opponents in the race
GIBO admits defeat over noynoy----“I did not fight for a political position for myself but for an idea. What can we do right for the country? Winning or losing is secondary. We fight for an idea—an idea of competence. Basic education reform, college graduate opportunities for every family, food security, genuine sustainable agrarian reform, localized peace processes, strong foreign relations, and several others," he said.
GORDON concedes to noynoy--- Bagumbayan standard-bearer Richard "Dick" Gordon on Tuesday became the third presidential aspirant to concede defeat to Liberal Party’s Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Gordon congratulated Aquino on his “spectacular victory" and called upon the nation to unite and support the new administration.
“We accept the will of the people," said Gordon who, as of 3:40 p.m., ranked 6th (446,203 votes) among nine presidential aspirants in GMANews.TV’s partial and unofficial tally.
“I ran a very truthful, straightforward and candid campaign and thought we could run on the basis of our platform, track record and volunteerism," he added in admitting his defeat.
He also said he would like to congratulate all the winners and pray that they serve the country well.
VILLAR--Binati si Noynoy: Pagkatalo tinanggap ni Villar
Sa ipinatawag nitong pulong balitaan, sinabi ni Villar na kinikilala niya ang napipintong panalo ang kanyang nakalaban na si Liberal Party presidential bet Sen Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III.
“It was a fight well fought," ayon kay Villar na nagpahiwatig din ng sama ng loob sa mga paninira umanong inabot niya sa panahon ng kampanya.
Sinabi ni Villar na malinaw sa kanya ang naging pasya ng mamamayang Pilipino sa ginawang pagpili kay Aquino bilang susunod na pangulo. Nakatakdang bumaba sa puwesto si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sa Hunyo 30, 2010.
“Mga kababayan ko, humaharap ako sa inyo ngayon upang tanggapin ang pasyang ito. Upang igalang ang boses ng sambayanang Pilipino. I congratulate Sen. Noynoy Aquino on his victory. The challenges he and our country faces are enormous and we should all work together," ayon kay Villar.
-------Having read all of their comments about Noynoy's victory as the new president of the Philippines.
I'm impressed about their concedes and admittance.I believe it's painful, and not easy to just take this defeat. But they respected and been sport to the outcome of the race. They all ended clean and positive..I hope next election..they will run again--- more better or else will have candidates that are very capable and qualified like them.
