GMA can run as Vice President

[surikbots]

---

i think PGMA is not that stupid. yes, any former president can always run for VP, governor, congressman, senator, mayor, brgy capt., except the Presidency.

but history tells us that it did not happen.

Malacanang saying that PGMA can run as VP is just saying that as a fact, but it does not mean she will run. and i am willing to bet on it.

IMHO, gi twist rana sa ABS-CBN para madaut or ma intriga c Gibo, a rival of Noynoy. We all know naman nga wala pay ka tandem c Gibo...and Noynoy is being groomed and supported by the Lopezes u know...

and the people can see through that. Perhaps ABS-CBN really thinks that people are gullible.

what is stupid is a convicted-and-later-pardoned former President who thinks he can run again for President...

Basta madaot gani ang administration, media dayun basulon.

It is not ABS CBN who said this. Its the loud mouth GMA lawyer Romulo Macalintal who said GMA can run for VP.

Asa man nga logic nga ABS CBN dayun basulon? Basin kay gi perceive man ang ABS CBN nga pro Noynoy mao na mao na hinoun pahamongtan.

Shoot the message, not the messengers. This GMA running as VP thing comes from the mouth of GMA's camp.

Thats the fact. No embellishment.

Actually, No. In fact, it was vaguely stated that it was some "legal experts who told abs-cbnnews.com/Newsbreak that she can run as VP.", and not specifically Macalintal.

Even if Macalintal said in the middle part, "While the President could run for vice president, Macalintal thinks that seeking a position in a co-equal branch, like Congress, would be more appropriate for Mrs. Arroyo.", how the writer constructed his article made it look like Macalintal was the first one who said she can run as VP...SEE?

sorry to say, but just reading from that ABS-CBN article is quite misleading. even you are being misled that it was Macalintal who first said that PGMA can run for VP. (That's already proof of what i am trying to say.)

and what is worse is that the writer ended with:

"The ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD is still scouting for a running mate for Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, amid reports that several potential candidates are being courted. The party still has around a month to find one, as the deadline in the filing of certificate of candidacy is set on December 1."

so what is he implying (unconsciously) to the readers? your guess is as good as mine.

if u can't read between the lines, you can't get the spin...subtle but obvious.

the message of Macalintal is concise and clear, but the messenger somehow twisted it via their own. so I say shoot the messenger...

That's the fact. No embellishment.

The writer first said some legal experts as a generic description. He then specifically mentioned Macalintal later as the one of the said legal experts. Whats wrong with that? Thats the freedom of a writer how to write his article. In your critique, I dont see any journalistic flaw committed by the said writer. And my goodness, it just show that you are clueless about the organization which the writer belong. He is from newsbreak. Newsbreak is affiliated with the Philippine Daily Inquirer and not with ABS CBN.

Where is the misleading part of that article. Your comments is full of insinuations bereft of academic basis for your criticism.

And as to the failure of Gibo to find a runningmate until now, isnt it a fact? Why would you say that it is a spin? What is your basis when the writer was just stating a reality. Do you mean to say Gibo's difficulty in finding a runningmate is just a spin of the media?

You just have a dirty mind.

Hopes this will clear everything from GMA running as VP and ERAP running for President

dili siya pwede modagan maski konsehal sa brgy... pwede siguro presidente sa kapilya....

Sir, ang pasabot man siguro na di xa pwede sa re-election is for "PRESIDENT". She can still run provided na not the presentiable seat which is why there are rumors for the congressional position.
