I like this man a lot. He knows exactly his vision and how he's going to do it. Sayang lang di na sya ganun kapopular compare noon. i really think popularity still matters in politics.
ReplyDeleteRej, tama ka ... I admire this man ... he knows exactly what he wants to do! he speaks so well his mind ... you hit it right ... popularity still matters ... I think this trend is universal ...
ReplyDeleteHi Life ... musta?
Rej - indeed he is a man of visions. he do a great things to Subic and hope for the best for his campaign.
ReplyDeleteVernz- like bayani they have a visions to their areas. Popularity ? correct kayo dayn. yun nga nasa jail naeelect pa. Fine here Vernz.
Nice post! I'm just hope for a clean and safe election this 2010. And who ever wins as the race for presidency, I wish he/she can change our country from its current state. Anyway, I've been looking for topics as interesting as this. Looking forward to your next post.

Pia - let us hope for the best of our election.
ReplyDeleteWell, hes gaining steady popularity now...and like what my friend said... "integrity is unique." Sa totoo lang, kung lahat ng nagsasabing may gusto kay Gordon kaya lang hindi nila iboboto kasi 'dahil sa survey' hindi sya ang sikat...malamang malaki ang posibilidad na manalo sya. Sana hindi tayo magpadala sa survey at iboto natin ang sa tingin natin ang karapat dapat na pangulo. Kung magpapadala tayo sa survey, ano pang silbi ng demokrasya?
ReplyDeleteEsther- like Bayani ay may vision and disposition si Gordon. I'm from Marikina kaya I knew kalidad and abilidad ni bayani. Good luck na lang sa kanila.
