Who I am voting for
By Randell Tiongson on May 6th, 2010Still deciding on a complete list but I’ve made up my mind on the majority on the slots I need to vote for.
My criteria is competence, track record, integrity and generally, I will go for candidates I feel most suited for the job. I did not consider popularity, patronage, black propaganda.
PRESIDENT: Gibo. I go for competence and I admired his integrity during the campaign. I feel the country will be in a better shape under his leadership. I also like Noynoy but I can only vote for one President and I feel Gibo will make a better President. I don’t care anymore if he is a winnable candidate or not, this is a conscience vote.
VP: Mar. He is qualified, he understands self-sacrifice. My other choice was Bayani but Mar for me would work better with whoever wins the presidency.
SENATORS:
Ruffy Biazon, Toots Ople, Alex Lacson, TG Guingona, Rizza Hontiveros, Kata Inocencio. Still thinking about the other 6 but I’m not too sure if I can come up with a complete list.
PARTY-LIST: Coop-Natcco — had a chance to work with this organization. Confederation of cooperatives.
I’m from Pasig so the rest are local candidates:
CONGRESSMAN: Roman Romulo — personally know the guy, impressive performance in congress and comes from a well-respected family.
MAYOR: Undecided
VICE-MAYOR: John Javier — we need new blood in our city. Personally know this guy as well and admire his being a family oriented person.
COUNCILOR: I probably will just vote for one, Ian Sia. I know the guy and his wife, really competent, intelligent and service oriented. A CPA/Lawyer and a volunteer for our Children’s church.
I’m not endorsing them, just sharing my choices. Who am I to endorse anyway? 🙂
Regardless of who we are voting for, we should be united in prayer for the country!
I agree with your last statement “Regardless of who we are voting for, we should be united in prayer for the country!” Amen to that!
