The 2010 Presidential Election Circus: The True Practice of Democracy
I love the Philippines. I love the fact that there are several well-meaning people who are motivated to serve the nation. Just take a look at all those who want to become President and lead the Filipino people. Wow, there are so many of them. Really – it’s so touching that so many of them are willing to dedicate so much time, effort and money to become President of the Philippines. Anyway, without further adieu – here is the official list of those who filed for their candidacy for the position of Philippine President, and their respective Vice Presidential partners and senatorial candidates (as applicable).
Potential President of the Philippines and Emperor of the World
Noynoy Aquino (President) and Mar Roxas (Vice President) are the candidates of the Liberal Party. Their slate for the 12 senators include Ralph Recto, Sonia Roco, Teofisto Guingona III, Ruffy Biazon, Ana Theresa Baraquel, Alexander Lacson, Nereus Acosta, Danilo Lim, Dr. Martin Bautista, Yasmin Busran-Lao, Franklin Drilon and Serge Osmena.
Joseph “Erap” Estrada (President) and Jejomar Binay (Vice President) for the Partido ng Masang Pilipino – UNO. Their senatorial bets include Jinggoy Estrada, Jun Lozada Jr., JV Bautista, Rodolfo Plaza, Jose de Venecia III, and Juan Ponce Enrile.
Gilbert Teodoro (President) and Edu Manzano (Vice President) for the Lakas-Kampi CMD. Their candidates for the senate include Bong Revilla, Lito Lapid, Rey Langit, Ramon Juico, Silvestre Bello III, Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Raul Lambino.
Manny Villar (President) and Loren Legarda (Vice President) of the Nacionalista Party. Their official candidates for the senate include Adel Tamano, Gwendolyn Pimentel-Gana, Susan Ople, Ramon Mitra III, Pia Cayetano, Ariel Querubin, Bongbong Marcos Jr., Lisa Maza, Satur Ocampo and Gilbert Remulla.
Dick Gordon (President) and Bayani Fernando (Vice President) of the Bagumbayan Party. They have no senatorial bets because they believe they can work with anybody and everybody.
Jamby Madrigal (President) will run as an independent without a running mate, and also without a senatorial slate.
Brother Eddie Villanueva (President) and Perfecto Yasay (Vice President) of Bangon Pilipinas. Their senatorial bets include Ramoncito Ocampo, Kata Inocencio, Zafrullah Alonto, Israel Virgines and Alex Tinsay.
Manny Lopez (President) will run as an independent, and claims he is better than US President Barack Obama.
Rigoberto Madera Jr. (President) will run as an independent and if elected will move on to become the next US President, the next UN Secretary General and Emperor of the World.
Only in the Philippines do we see such awesome democracy practiced, and where everyone can qualify to become President of the Philippines as long as they fulfill the requirements for their Certificate of Candidacy (COC).
This is the circus, and this is democrazy!

I think Brother Eddie may be a good man, but he isn’t just right for the position of President. He has a good congregation and he should just be the leader there, and stay away from the post of president which requires a different kind of political experience and management.

Mr. JJ Duque whoever you are!… FYI Brother Eddie is not the MAYOR of Bocaue… and if you can just do some research about his qualifications to run as president maybe you’ll be greatly surprised!

I stand corrected. You’re right. Brother Eddie is NOT the mayor of Bocaue.

What i don’t realize is actually how you are now not really much more neatly-appreciated than you might be now.
You are so intelligent. You understand therefore significantly in the case of this matter, produced me individually consider it from a lot of
numerous angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be fascinated except it is one thing to
accomplish with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs nice. All the time care for it up!
