Last Sunday was the first ever BOTO MO IPATROL MO DEBATE or should I call it the presentation of possible PRESIDENTIAL candidates for the 2010 ELECTION. The first hour was consumed by the one-on-one interviews of the interviewers with the possible candidates, and the second by the main debate between them.

The possible candidates who were present were Gilbert Teodoro, Mar Roxas, Dick Gordon, Chiz Escudero and Ed Panlilio.

These are the result of my observation on the debate. I noticed that Mar Roxas and Hayden Kho might be RELATIVES. Why? It’s because Mar Roxas always had statements such as “ilalaban KO kayo, di aKO susuko, aKO ang bahala sa inyo, aKO, aKO, aKO.” With all due respect, I was just wandering why he always spoke about HIMSELF.

For Chiz Escudero and Ed Panlilio, I think they need more political EXPERIENCE. When you compare their answers with Dick Gordon’s, you will see a NOTABLE difference. The first two lack that WHAT-I'VE-DONE FACTOR unlike Dick Gordon; everyone knows what he had done in Subic and in Tourism; as well as what he has done to Red Cross.

Dick Gordon answered the questions PROFESSIONALLY. He had a nice talk about what was needed for the IMPROVEMENT of this country. He said very sensible statements and explained well his points. I remember one of his statements “BAWAL ANG TAMAD.” Gilbert Teodoro also gave a good fight. Even though he’s pro-administration, he explained his points well.

I am not building up anyone. My OPINIONS are based on my observation on the debate.

Through this kind of debate, the whole nation will see what’s INSIDE every candidate. It’s not like the Tv ads of parties and candidates, yet it’s an INSTRUMENT to open the eyes of each Filipino – young, old, rich, poor, male and female. It will teach all Filipinos to vote the RIGHT leader. It will at least ensure hope for a BRIGHT FUTURE for the Philippines.

More power to BOTO MO IPATROL MO!
