It's Confirmed: ERAP for President, Binay for Vice President

8:45 PM


Yesterday, I saw from the news that former President Estrada and Makati Mayor Binay are running for president and vice president respectively. They also had a senatorial line up ready for the big election festival.
Considering that president Erap has a legal battle to face in case he wins the election, the vice president elect will be a sure hit. Even considering all legal aspects with opinions coming from the greatest and most intelligent lawyers around, the FACT still remains that a legal battle is inevitable and while this is happening, the Filipino people will suffer more. Vested interest is in the air, it's all that there is.
I have nothing against the person of former president Estrada, however, the move to run as president, in my opinion, will only add mountains of legal issues for him to face. And again history will repeat itself. At the end of the day, the common people suffers more.



Mayor Binay on the other hand is a good administrator of a local government unit, however, I don't think it is enough to be considered as vice president. One factor is character.
Erap and Binay will be a force to reckon with since they have a following coming from a portion of the masses particularly within the greater Metropolitan Manila. With so many opposition parties fighting for the big Malacanang seat, this coming 2010 elections will surely be a festival of political figures and as well as clowns.
