Chiz Escudero Is Running As President?

6:38 PM

May bagong umagang darating...


Have you seen this new commercial which started yesterday morning? It was showing Sen. Chiz with a crowd, waving and shaking his hands while the song "may bagong umagang darating" was playing on the background. Sen. Chiz Escudero celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday, Oct 11, 2009, the same day the commercial was aired. Coincidence or strategy?
Just this morning, Sen Chiz was interviewed at GMA Unang Hirit and at the radio program of Mike Enriquez right after. When asked if he will run as President, he gave no definite answer. He just postponed his declaration to a later date because there are better things to do like helping the victims of typhoon Pepeng in northern luzon. His statement was definitely politically motivated. First thing, who will spend millions worth of commercials and media coverage if he will not gain something from it?
Simply put, Chiz Escudero's camp would like to sustain the interest, the buzz and the excitement of waiting for his declaration. At the end of the day, it's just plain and simple politics. Although Chiz seems to be lesser evil among the presidentiables.

is he really the lesser evil? hmm... i doubt it. anyway, i guess i just have to wish him well. i used to like him then when he was still a congressman, and even voted him (on top of my list) or senator, but now, he kinda turned me off. seems like he just got a lot of words but not deeds.

just to correct the exact b-day of Chiz it's Oct. 10 and not Oct. 11...Let's just wait for him to announce in his own time, let us not put malice on it. It's not really time for politics there are more important things to do rather than bringing up the issues about politics in this kind of situation. More people needs help, let us all help for those typhoon victims..Wag tayong puna ng puna sa mga politiko na kala mo wala din tayong kapintasan sa sarili.. Let us be one..
