President Ferdinand Edralin Marcosthe most brilliant president of all time. but not only because of Imelda and their cronies we might have a better Philippines. anyway i only heard of the man's greatness. i was born in manila. then after 10years, it was in '84 i remember that the crowd clamor for him to step down in Malacañang. i was just 10years old then and an active altar boy of our parish church in Bacood Sta Mesa Manila. i also remember that there was this rally in manila grandstand and together we went, with our parish priest Monsignor Benedicto. i remember there were so many people like there was an "Elshaddai" or "Jesus is Lord Movement" praying meeting. i even saw tanks in the streets and military with high powered guns which was rare to see on the streets of the city of manila. we even go to the house of Jaime Cardinal Sin in Mandaluyong. at that age, i never thought that there were already a turmoil going on in my beloved country.
until...................
she came and restores democracy.
Presidenet Corazon Cojuangco Aquino
President Fidel V. Ramosnow i am a voter. i voted for Fidel V. Ramos because of his great achievements and qualifications. i said to myself ill choose this military guy to reform the Philippines with much determination and strong will with an iron fist. why?
after tita Cory Filipinos is not ready for a fully democratic system. some spoiled the democracies lots to offer to the Filipinos, it was used and abused. same thing with this guy i voted, he was also used by many and follow the mainstreams that they orchestrated to reached the height they have right now. that's why they were branded "TRAPOS".
President Joseph Ejercito Estrada well, i voted for this guy my second president. i saw a potential in him to be the president who will lift up the integrity in every lives of the Filipinos. why? makamasa si erap at para sa mahirap.
i said to myself. we already have a brilliant president like Marcos, a swift president like Cory and a military man from west point like Fidel. but nothing have change, even with their great achievements and intellects, in the end we were the one who was fooled.
that's why i voted Erap i want to try a president who is under graduate, lets say a kick out of a prestigious school. who knows he might turn the Philippines in the right track.
then Erap became president. yes i said, he's a good president he helps the poor, projects wise for the people and all out war here in Mindanao for peace. a very potential president that will bring the country to its right path. this is the president who brings Luzon Visayas and Mindanao as one country.
unfortunately, he failed. he was used also by more intellectual persons like Chavit and Atong Ang. that even made him a culprit before the eyes of the public. until he was ousted by the people in edsa 2.
Presidenet Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and now she came to the scene to take charged on the vacant seat which Erap had just left. shes doing good so far. even though the hardships she inherited from past presidents she stand with all her might.
until election came and i voted for her my third president. this time i would like to try an economist who might bring the Philippines to step a little forward. she tried and show a little success. unfortunately her popularity was dragged by her husbands shadows with regards to alleged wrong doings accused by some critics in the political arena. still she stands and show no fear and able to work harder to bring the Philippines to success.
the most intellectual president second to Ferdinand Marcos. she's almost there in raising the country, but her term must end in 2010. its like, i want a 1 year round for PGMA she made so many things specially bringing Malacañang to the south and reach the Visayas and Mindanao. the first president who is concerned to the entire archipelago LUZVIMIN. the most impressive and articulate SONA i heard from all the presidents of this country, it happened last July 27, 2009.
i favored the parliamentary form of government. because as always, only the bureaucrats of Luzon was the centered of projects and infrastructure. while us here in Visayas and Mindanao were always neglected and behind. funny to think every time we have an election Luzon Visayas and Mindanao one country one vote. how come only the bureaucrats in Luzon can oust a presidents by going to EDSA, we do exist in the same archipelago. the Philippines is consist of Luzon Visayas and Mindanao, and not just Luzon. remember that we in Visayas and Mindanao can stand on our own, for we have the resources to build our own republic.
Senator Manuel B. Villar
