ANC's 2nd Countdown to 2010 Philippine Election Leadership Forum video

Tweet

Last Saturday night I was able to watched the Countdown to 2010 Leadership Forum by the ANC Channel. It is an open forum with the presidentiables for the 2010 election. Among the presidentiable present in the forum are Senator Loren Legarda, ex-president Jseph Estrada, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay and MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando.

The forum was to held to help us make the right decisions in choosing the right person to be the next Philippine president.

Question ask involves some current issues happening in the country today.
Here are some of the question ask:

What are your thoughts on the lack of jobs here at home and the continuing migration of filipino workers abroad?

What is the most important quality of a supreme court justice aside from competence?

What will you prioritize in reallocating funds as a president?

Do you or do you not support the reproductive health?

And maybe still the hottest topic in town,

What are the public interest issues involved in the Hayden Kho video scandal?

Along the way you may find some funny moments from ex-president Joseph Estrada where you may think that the forum makes no sense at all (and it makes me think thats the reason why his term as a president was a big joke).

Best tag line in the forum - "Doon po sa amin sa Makati..."

Watch the video of the forum.

Manny Pacquiao forms own political party

Tweet

Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao is seemed to be determined in finding his place from the ring to the world of politics as he has formally petitioned his organization called People's Champ Movement to be accredit as a local political party by the Commission on Elections (Comelec). The People's Champ Movement will only be fielding local positions in General Santos City and Saranggani province as a local party. There is a speculation that the boxing champs would seek a seat in the House of Representatives, or maybe run for mayor, in the 2010 elections.
Pacquiao failed on his first attempt into politics in 2007 despite of his popularity. A lot of supporters urged Pacquiao to stay away from politics and avoid to be used by some advantageous politicians but still, it is Pacquiao who has the last say wether he will continue his pursue on the politics. Manny Pacquiao is also the party president of the said political party.
