I agreed when Alfonso Manalastas posted on his FB status that this year’s line-up is the suckiest in history. This is very true especially to the Vice-Presidentiables.
The Pinoy voting population does not care much about candidates running for the Veep. The focus mainly is on the Presidentiable, the man who can heal this “Sick Man of Asia”. But, it is still important for us to look on each of the VPs because as we all know, Veep is just a breath away from the seat that is Malacanang. So it’s time to busy ourselves with finding the better option. Let us not be lured by their commercials or their non-sense platforms. They’ve fooled us many times over and look where it got us to.
Have you ever think what if Sen. Edgardo Angara won the Vice-Presidentiable bid in 1998 and eventually succeeded Erap and not Pres. Arroyo? IMHO, we wouldn’t have so many troubles as we have now, no “Hello Garci” *imitating Mrs. President’s voice*, no ZTE scandal blah blah. So,
let's consider these few words about our VPs.
I’m no Mar voter. Well, I used to be but he lost my vote when he married someone (a media personality, mind you) just to propel his bid in the race. The worst is, he proposed to Korina in freakin’ Wowowee – a noontime circus. And not to mention, the stupidity of his commercials,"Anak, itabi mo, ako na". Sheeze!
Mirror, mirror in the wall, who’s the trapo-est of them all? The self-proclaimed Veep Loren Legarda. Why not? Isn’t she hate Villar? But now, she’s running with him. WTF! She sacrificed her dignity just for this election. I think something is up on her sleeve. Scary!
Binay is one-hell of a mayor. “Ganito kami sa Makati, Ganito sana sa buong bansa” pol ad shows great promise. But I doubt if what he has done in his city could cover the whole country. Could he give free hospitalization, free school bags or free movie tickets to everyone in the country including those in Tawi-Tawi? I don’t think so, it's quite impossible. I’m not being negative here, na-ah. It doesn’t take a genius to tell that 567,349 is nothing, as in nothing, compared to 91 million. Helloooo?!
Yesh, Bayani Fernando is weird. You know, blue fences, pink lanes, pink urinals but at least he’s getting something done. So, I didn't mind seeing pink and blue fences not only in Manila but in the whole territory of the country as well. But what's with the cutting of trees along Katipunan Av? Oh bad! He failed the green groups, he failed me.
Edu Manzano may be charismatic and all being a son of show business. But are we now ready to have a leader who has nothing to go for him but the endorsements of pips from tinseltown? NO WAY! Have we not learned our lessons during the Erap years? *wink, wink* Let me state in no uncertain terms I will vote for him even if he’s the running-mate of G1BO because he doesn’t deserve my vote.
My apologies to Jay Sonza, Perfecto Yasay and Dominador Chipeco Jr. for not including them in this post. But that’s not my fault. I never heard them speak in public so I don’t know what they will have to offer if they win. There, take that!
I am not closing my windows yet but as of now, I'm signifying my intention to vote for none of the Vice-Presidentiables at all. Simply because I don't want the choices presented to us right now- they suck as Alfonso puts it. But I still hope that the candidates themselves will make an effort to convince us voters that they deserve our votes.

It's getting HOT in here! *phew*
It’s betting season again. Bb. Pilipinas this time. This is one of the most heated editions of Bb. Pilipinas in history. I find it very difficult to choose from the 24 candidates because almost half of them has international caliber. C’mon, the candidates are smokin’ hot.
Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2010 KRISTA KLEINER
I have no doubt that she can be a great representative to Miss Universe. She has this stage presence that can immediately wow the audience. Her body is quite raw like most people complain about but she can carry herself very well. Besides, she has a gift of gab so expect her to outsmart all the girls comes final night.
NOTE: This photo of her made my ‘other’ head scream oh la la.
Bb. Pilipinas-World 2010 MARIA VENUS RAJ
A veteran in pageantry, Venus is another beauty to watch for in the finals. Believe me, she’s nice. She’s a fellow Bicol University student, different campus though. She has a very unique beauty that registers well on photographs and on television. She can just easily snatch a crown and might eventually win an international crown for the country.
Bb. Pilipinas-International 2010 NICOLETTE HENSON
Hands down! She is the face of the competition. I can’t ask for more from this lady. She’s not your typical girl-next-door beauty. She’s stylish and looks very fresh. She will certainly do well in Miss International.
Bb. Pilipinas 2010 1st RU DIANNE NECIO
She’s full of sparks and charm and anyone who would claim otherwise is a liar. Some people liken her to Miriam Quiambao, the sweet aura, the queenly stance and the beautiful Filipina complexion. She can be a big hit at MU as well but her age (she’s only 17) might hinder her from winning the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe crown.
Bb. Pilipinas 2010 2nd RU SELENA ANTONIO
She’s the Sandra Seifert of 2010. She’s one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest face for this year. She has that X-factor and not to mention a hot-as-hell body.
Completing the TOP 10 are
MARY ANN ROSS MISA
TONI ALYESA HIPOLITO
GWEN RUAIS
PATRICIA EJERCITADO
ANNA MARIE MORELOS
There you go, my Bb. Pilipinas 2010 bets. Don’t throw me the “why is she there/not there?” shit. This is my list, remember?

16.2.10
GIBO = Galing at Talino.
DISCLAIMER: Folks, you don't need to agree with me. I'm not forcing you to vote for Gibo. I wouldn't argue if you're not vying for him. If you think he's not capable of doing the job, so be it. But, it doesn't hurt to listen to what other people thinks, isn't it? I can guarantee you that nobody pays me to write these things. And no... no... I don't work for any politician. I have no other motives other than to share my thoughts and urge you to share yours as well. No argument being solicited. Just a good all discussion babe, that's all.
Honestly, Gibo wasn't on my list before. But when I saw videos of him in forums and interviews, I couldn't deny that he really has what it takes to be the next Philippine president. But I think that he has still a lot to face for us to be 100% sure that we'll vote for him. Of course, he needs to be worthy of our vote.
However, I listed down the reasons why I will probably vote for Gilberto Teodoro:
1. He is smart and decent.
You can notice this when he speaks. Every words make sense. You can notice his wisdom when he speaks in forums and interviews. May mga sense naman ang sinasabi niya compared to the other candidates. Yung iba speaks like a trapo. Gibo speaks like a statesman. His words are rare gifts unlike the words of Erap, Loren, Jamby, Ping, Gloria, Noynoy, Bayani and Binay which are all worthless junk.
2. He is loyal.
He has strong ties with the second most corrupt administration the country has ever had. Surveys upon surveys revealed that Gibo's attachment with Gloria is really pulling his popularity down. But despite of this, he continue to support Gloria. He never tried to win the public's sympathy by washing his hands. He never, in any way, trashed talked the government he serves, not even once.
3. He has track record to boot.
There is no question that Gibo has the requisite intelligence and academic preparation for the office he seeks. He finished his Law Studies at UP with flying colors. He topped the Philippine Bar exam in 1989. He completed his Masteral at Harvard Law School and was admitted to the State Bar of New York in 1997. He was a Colonel of the Air Force Reserve of the Philippines. He was a Congressman before becoming the youngest National Defense Secretary. That's a quite pretty resume, Sir.
4. He does have presence.
Gibo has this certain aura that exudes an equal sense of authority and grace. What I'm trying to say is that his mere presence commands attention. That's the kind of leader we need, a leader who we will look up to. A leader who can keep us in our toes and leaves us in awe while in his presence.
5. He answers very well.
I watched FOCAP Presidential Forum on ANC yesterday and I can say that together with Dick Gordon, he gave the most sensible answers. His answers to the most difficult and provoking questions are unbiased. He answered every issue the best and honest way he could.
During the ANC-sponsored leadership forum in DLSU-Manila, Sen. Madrigal (another presidential wannabe) asked him, "If elected President, magtatanaw ka ba ng utang na loob kay GMA?" Gibo confidently answered, "Utang na loob sa definition ko ay ang pagsusukli ng mabuti sa mabuti. 'Pag masama na, nothing is worth my reputation and my father's reputation."
On another interview, host Ricky Carandang asked him if he is afraid of being linked to the Arroyo adminstration, he replied, "No. Dito ako naninindigan, dito ako naninilbihan. Hindi naman ako isang tao na maninilbihan na ikakahiya ko ang aking bahay. Hindi ako ganung klaseng tao, Ricky."
When asked if he will prevent people from filing cases against Gloria, Gibo vowed never to use the Office of the President to pressure or influence the decision of the people against his predecessor.
I admired his answers. It says so much about his character. And, we all know what well, put-together answers imply. It means someone's ready.
6. His campaign is a campaign of positivity.
On the first day of the official campaign period, he said that he will never engage in "pakikipagbatuhan ng putik" with other candidates. That's a good thing. IMHO, politicos who engage in political bickering are certified trapos.
And he's the only presidential candidate to center his campaign on Platforms, Positive Change and Solutions.
Before, I thought that Gibo will be Gloria 2.0 but he proved me wrong. Gibo does not have dictatorial tendencies, a significant difference with Gloria. While Gloria seems to be a pseudo-dictator, Gibo is a true-blue democrat. Gloria lies but Teodoro tries not to. And unlike his Madam, he's NOT power-hungry.
Gibo may not be in the league of others when it comes to media visibility (I'm looking at Villar, Noynoy and Fernando) but you can never question his capability to lead the country. Critics and skeptics questioned his winnability in the presidential race considering his poor standing in surveys. But, he's a man who doesn't believe that popularity is the game of public service.
Some of us still thinks that Gibo is bound to be Gloria reincarnated. But I hope that the ghosts of Arroyo administration will not prompt us to overreact. We need to be unbiased. We need to take away anger. We need to take away hate. We need to look at the character.
Would Gilberto Teodoro Jr. make a good president? I certainly think so. It is just unfortunate that in our country POPULARITY exceeds COMPETENCY.

Talking of HANDSOME?
I have just completed the hard task of choosing TEN bloggers who has the "most-pamatay" looks (WTF!) for this year's hottest competition on the blogosphere --- "TOP 100 MOST HANDSOME PINOY BLOGGERS FOR 2010". This is the battle between the handsome-mest Filipino bloggers launched by LBG of the brilliant blog Laboyboy. I've sorted 120 nominees and it wasn't a joke, to tell you.
It is hard choosing ten handsome bloggers without even the smallest hint of bias. I started drafting this list while we're having our boring class (name of subject withheld) last Friday morning. I had about two or three erasures. Ten is not really enough but that's the limit.
Anyway, here they are, the TEN most handsome Pinoy bloggers for 2010. For me, at least. *there's no room for nasty comment so zip it*
Dim the lights please...
There are ten photos in my hands. These photos represent the ten bloggers who will continue their quest to become the "Most Handsome Pinoy Blogger for 2010". Those who haven't been called must immediately pack their belongings and go.
Let's start with, who else, Candidate No. 22. *crowds go gaga*
