Here are the current crop of people we will be electing in May for President A so called "depressed and mentally unstable" individual who's claim to fame is his name. A poor and swam in garbage individual who's now a billionaire. Who's claim is either true or he's a pathological liar. A womanizing, gambling and convicted plunderer. An articulate lawyer who's claim to fame is being in the GMA administration. A crying, hot-headed, people serving, can do attitude person. A man of God who's money came from his flock like every other "spiritual leader". For Vice President we have. A bitchy, revenge seeking, former TV anchor. A no-nonsense administrator who loves pink fences who think he's gwapo. A former actor who hasn't really been heard or seen during the campaign. A mayor who is said to have enhanced the financial capital of the country that used to be a human rights lawyer which hardly any money but who's net worth has jumped to al...

Here's an interesting piece on Sen. Richard Gordon from the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ====================== During a debate on the Manila campus of De La Salle University , Sen. Richard Gordon waves a thin black and white contraption roughly the size of a notebook. “Kindle,” he shouts. “Here’s a little computer where you can put the entire school curriculum, from Grade 1 to high school to college. Every kid in public school should have one because he who reads, leads,” Gordon exclaimed. Gordon talked about providing the country’s 17 million public school students with the Amazon.com product and raising the quality of education in the process. “The government purchases textbooks for public schools. Oftentimes, these books are full of errors. That’s why we have book scams left and right. Why not get a Kindle for every student, download the accurate, factual books needed for the year, do the same every year. So every school year, we just buy new Kindles for the incoming Grade 1,” h...

Stretching from the gate to the front of the main house in Gen San is an extensive driveway. Family members and guests alike get off from their cars on a covered walkway, held up by classic white pillars. The walkway leads to the front door. The wide front yard provides more than enough room for a landscaped garden. It features a fountain and a koi pond. Cream or beige was the color of choice for Manny Pacquiao's two-story, seven-bedroom, 780-square-meter Mediterranean-style house that sits on a 2,300-square-meter lot. This understated hue complements the classic lines and details of the architecture. The red tiles used on the roof are imported from Japan . Flanked by white pillars, paved by tiles from Spain , and illuminated by a bowl pendant chandelier, the main entrance, with its white double front doors, gives guests a hint of the grandness to be expected inside. Manny Pacquiao's expansive backyard in Lagao Village , General Santos City , features a swimming pool in the sha...

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ====================== Sen. Manny Villar called Fe Barin, chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Francis Lim, then president of the Philippine Stock Exchange, many times sometime between May and June 2007, the Philippine Daily Inquirer has learned. But the calls, according to SEC and PSE lawyers and brokers interviewed by the Inquirer on separate occasions, were “too many to be easily dismissed and forgotten.” They couldn’t forget about the calls either, they said, most especially because Villar, then Senate President, wanted the SEC and PSE officials “to throw the exchange rules out the window.” Villar was seeking the release from escrow of about 1.2 billion of the 5.3 billion secondary shares of Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. in June 2007 so these could be offered both as primary and secondary shares at the same time, or several days apart. The Senate President not only made the calls, he also appeared before SEC and PSE board meet...
