Same Old Faces and Problems….

There they are again, same old political faces making notice that they will be running for the 2010 presidential election in the Philippines.

I came back one time in 2004; well my bet lost it…….

It’s true what they say, that you need to be an outsider for a while to see the beauty or what not of a place you’ve been. I would say that life back home is still layback. Still a lot of regions with internal conflicts, lack of bridge-road infrastructures, and transport like high speed trains to connect the north and the south, a high KW/hour from power suppliers and generators, basic food still high, land & housing expensive, survival had turn most Filipinos to work abroad. I don’t have a survey of how many people would like to go abroad but I can guess there would be more than half of the working class.

What kind of a president we need? Based on the hard experiences that the Filipinos had starting from: Spanish Rule, Japanese Occupation, American Liberation, Marshall Rule and Edsa people powers, what we need is a president who can appoint leaders who are professional in the different departments of government. We need a president who knows how to “discipline” the country, a president that can be fearful yet loved by the masses, someone who can bridge the country as one.
