read post #571 of giddyboy, do you think your 'gibutaran' can escape that blackhole reality of Philippine politics? replace every name of GMA in that post with the name of your 'gibutaran' or any other candidate, and see that it doesn't make much difference. just not yet. it's not all about whoever the people put there in the top place that makes a big difference right now. it's the political culture, or more generally, the Filipino culture (that includes education, economy, etc.,). kung hugaw ang usa ka lugar daghan jud langaw.
then why vote the person who you think is the right one? if you don't expect anything? You vote someone cause you think she/he can make a difference. She is just there for political survival, she may be a genius... but she doesn't use it properly. If she have think not only of herself, we should have move on long ago. Who is the real destabilizer? She's the one. It's her deed that has pulled us down.
