Wanted 2010 bets
October 8, 2007 — PeterThe ruling party has finally started its search for its standard bearer in 2010.
Two Metro Manila mayors, Sonny Belmonte of Quezon City and Bayani Fernando of Marikina, now the head of the Metro Manila Development Authority, are currently shortlisted.
The Lakas-NUCD is searching for one who has the following criteria:
Popularity, charisma, track record, integrity, leadership, competence and vision.
Looks to me that the seven requirements fit Liberal Senator Mar Roxas.

I must admit that Mar continues to impress me. His knowledge of the issues and the manner he addresses them is commendable. Unlike the others who have announced their intentions for 2010, he does not grandstand nor take advantage of the media.

Hindi ba Liberal Party si Mar Roxas?

Precisely. No one fits that qualification in Lakas. But there’s one in the LP that has all the criteria.

A lot of people from the cross section of the economy wanted Bayani Fernando as the president. He knows how to give homes to the homeless. He knows how to stimulate the economy. He knows how to create jobs. He is well known in his urbanidad and metro guapo campaigns providing good taste and culture to filipinos. He is nationalistic. He can clean the government of corruption. Sayang kung hindi magiging presidente si Bayani Fernando. Ito na ang chance ng Pilipinas na umunlad — papakawalan pa ba naman natin. Willing din naman syang maging presidente. Tulong tulong tayo. Tigilan na natin yang Erap,Gloria stuff. Nakakasawa na eh. Magbago na tayo. Bayani Fernando for President.

Prof. Dulay is correct. We should all help put Bayani Fernando to the presidential post. He is one great, patriotic, experienced government executive. Sen. Roxas is intelligent and knowledgeable, if not an expert, especially on economic issues. I have high respects for him. But he/that doesn’t impress me as much as the accomplishments of Bayani Fernando. BF doesn’t talk as impressive or as vibrant as the senator does but when it comes to execution and action, my goodness does he do it so well! Talk is cheap. Magsawa na tayo sa mga pulitikong magagaling magsalita pero mahina sa gawa. Let’s stay away from the trapos. Let’s go for change. Not just in politics but in all of us Filipinos. We need a living hero to lead us to a continuing change. I think that hero could be Bayani Fernando. http://www.pollgenius.com/answer/default/pollID/4883/Do%20you%20want%20Bayani%20Fernando%20to%20run%20as%20president%20in%202010%20election

I agree with Cristopher Velasquez observation, BF is great material for 2010. BF with our own Duterte will make a fantastic combination. Other than these two people, none strike me as capable of leading with integrity and acting with the necessary competence.

We agree with all of you! BAYANI FERNANDO is the man that fits to be the next President of the Philippines. Majority of us OFWs believed that Bayani can turn the Philippines around, what with his proven expertise in everything he had done for the benefit of the people. He’s a desciplined man and a man of few words but more actions. Kaya dito na tayo sa ating BAYANI ng BAYAN, BAYANI FERNANDO, please to those who share the same view, let’s help BAYANI win this GAME in 2010 for the benefit of our nation. Forget about the Senatongs aspirants, because we do believe NONE of those wanabe Senatongs could lead us to the right directions, istead they would only aggravate the situation and send us all to perdition. BAYANI FERNANDO FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

To be pragmatic about it, BF doesn’t need to be a president to effect the change that our dear country is in dire need. But if he does becomes a president, so much the better.
His chances of being a president is slim. And that’s not because of any lack of qualifications but because of the systemic flaw in our election process and the people running it. It would take a massive overhaul in that system and in the mentality of the electorate to get a very prepared, honest and competent leader to get elected such as BF.
Better for BFfor be a VP. Take a cabinet position and run an umbrella committe that will drive the DILG, DPWH and DOT towards “BUENAS FILIPINAS” - a macro version of his “Metro Gwapo”. He can then be a catalyst of change and an inspiration to the people that if they are more intelligent in choosing the best leaders in our country, there is much hope awaiting in the horizon for us.

I hope this idea snowballs…Bayani Fernando(MMDA
Chairman) & Jesse Rebredo(Naga Mayor) tandem in 2010! Both are transformational leaders and role models who can empower people and enable them to transform their communities through discipline…This is what the Philippines needs!
