It looks like Gibo Teodoro is moving up through the polls.
Here are some photos from his Facebook fan page.
The
Philippine Daily Inquirer explains why Gibo won the mock polls in Cebu.
It was also Teodoro who came out the winner in the mock polls conducted at the forum.
Out of 935 votes cast, Teodoro got 456, Aquino a far second with 296, followed by Villar (88), Gordon (45), Villanueva (29), Estrada (19) and Perlas (2).
It was noted, however, that Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, a Teodoro supporter, had brought with her the administration mayors, their relatives and staff who vastly outnumbered the crowd brought by Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes.
Only those inside the plenary hall where the forum was held were allowed to vote in the mock polls.
Here's another photo from the Gibo Teodoro fan's page on Facebook.
The campaign of course is focused on pulling down Noynoy Aquino as he is deemed to be the man to beat.
Here's a newspaper article about Noynoy Aquino from the
Manila Standard Today.
The battle of slogans of the presidential candidates:
Former Defense Sec. Gibo Teodoro—“Galing at Talino”
Senator Manny Villar—“Sipag at Tiaga”
Senator Noynoy Aquino—“Mommy at Daddy”.
***
Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s advisers should tell him that if he gets elected president of this country in the May 2010 elections, he will be running a regular government, not the revolutionary kind that his mother ran in 1986.

Personally, I'm not for or against any candidates. I'm apathetic as I really don't see any one who is good in the list of candidates. As always in Philippine politics, we tend to choose who we think is the lesser evil.
I haven't really followed what's been going on with the candidates but here's my take so far.
Richard Gordon - maybe ok. Wag lang ma drama.
Erap - give me a break.
Eddie Villanueva - maybe but I'd rather not see religion in politics. We already have too much of that.
Manny Villar - I feel there's a lot of self interest that will happen if he wins.
Gibo Teodoro - may be qualified, my concern is whether he is a lackey of GMA or not.
Noynoy - riding on parent's bandwagon. May be qualified, but I haven't seen anything to prove it.
88 million Filipinos and these are the ones chosen to run for President. Seriously? 88 million people and these are the best they can come up with?
