WHY I AGREE WITH PNOY ON THIS ONE!

For once, I agree with PNoy.

In a story in journal.com.ph, PNoy called on the people to choose wisely among the candidates in next year’s elections.

Choose wisely, indeed.

First and foremost, look for candidates for all elective posts with VISIBLE, PHYSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Candidates who have had infrastructure projects built, or have been maintaining or have launched pro-poor programs, WITH TANGIBLE RESULTS.

And not candidates who HAD MADE ALL KINDS OF PROMISES or had BOASTED OF ALL SORTS OF PLANS to improve the quality of your lives, but HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING since the time they won.

For reelectionist senators and congressmen, find out how many bills, if any, has the candidate PRINCIPALLY AUTHORED. It’s the MAIN JOB of a senator congressman.

I repeat, principally authored, not just co-authored. YUNG NAGTRABAHO, HINDI YUNG NAKIKISAKAY LANG sa trabaho ng iba.

For newcomers, as I had written in an earlier blog, take a close look at the qualifications and credentials or track record for the position aspired for.

Baka mamaya ay tumatakbong senador o congressman, perO NI HINDI MAKAPAG-INGLES NG DERECHO AT TAMA, at walang alam na kahit na ano tungkol sa batas.

O kaya ay WALANG KAHIT NA ANONG KARANASAN sa pulitika o serbisyo publiko – gustong maging senador,, congressman/woman o gobernador o mayor pero kahit pagiging barangay councilman/woman ay hindi pa nakakapagsilbi.

Second: Choose candidates with unquestionable moral character and DELICADEZA.

Check out if the candidate has a PENDING CASE, CRIMINAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE, before any government agency or prosecutor’s office or court. If there’s any, find out the status.

Unless the candidate has been cleared or acquitted, he or she has NO MORAL RIGHT to run for public office. If the candidate insists, he or she has no delicadeza and does not deserve your vote.

Lalo pa kung TUMANGGAP NG PUWESTO sa gobyerno mula kay PNoy kahit na nakabitin pa kaso niya bago siya kumandidato.

And to top all these, remember:

Hindi porke kandidato ni PNoy o ng kaniyang Liberal Party ay magaling na o karapat-dapat nang mahalal. Kaht na WALA PANG NAPAPATUNAYAN sa pulitika o saan mang larangan.

Hindi rin porke sikat na artista o atleta, or guwapo o maganda at madaldal sa media o magandang ngumiti, ay dapat nang iboto.

HINDI MAKAPAGBIBIGAY ng trabaho, makapagpapababa ng presyo ng mga bilihin at ng produktong petrolyo o makapagpapataas ng suweldo ang PURO DALDAL o PURO PA-CUTE NA NGITI.

Mga tunay na nagtatrabaho at nagsisilbi ang makakalutas ng mga problema ng bayan.

At hindi iyung PURO NGITI, PURO BATIKOS o PURO SALITA, SA MEDIA pero wala namang ginagawang hakbang para malutas ang mga pinupuna o tinitirang bagay o problema.

WALANG MANGYAYARI sa ating bansa kapag ganiyang mga klaseng kandidato ang mananalo.

TANDAAN NINYO!

A CLOSE LOOK AT 2012

SONNY CABRALES of Los Angeles, California

Thanks for a very accurate assessment of what 2012 was all about.

GRAFT AND CORRUPTION THROUGH RH LAW

JERRY OCAMPO

My main objection to the RH bill is exactly what you pointed out in your blog.

THERE WILL BE MORER GWEN GARCIAS

FIDEL CASTILLO of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Well said, bro!

BIG GARCIA HEADACHE COMING UP FOR PNOY!

JOSE LUIS LEGARDA

I really hope that support for Garcia be very significant so as to put a stop to Abnoy’s abuse of power and politics of harassment.

INDIRECT ADMISSION  OF WEAK CASE VS GARCIA

NESTOR PATNUGOT of Davao City

There is a need for our Ombudsman to make a schedule of corresponding suspensions/penalties for all government officials and employees accused of alleged wrongdoing. It's hurting for those who are just doing their job and are accused of something.

INNIE D’ ORO of San Juan, Batangas

Sabi nung isang nag-comment sa DZRH, bakit daw na-charge ng usurpation of authority si Gov. Gwen eh mas mataas sya sa Vice-Gov niya? She is actually enforcing her authority over the vice-governor which, i think, is legal and within her jurisdiction and responsibility. Nag-iisip ba ang mga nasa Malacanang or talagang hinaharrass lang si Gov. Garcia?

FRANCISCO CASTRO

“LEGALITY AND TRUTH are the real issues in the Garcia case. And not who talks more in media.”  Tama yan.

ED DAN VERZOLA

Malacanang people know they are wrong but being in power, they always think they are right. !
