Sulong Gibo!


Well, it's obvious, I'm rooting for Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro for President in the May 2010 automated polls.

To me, Gibo is the most promising among the presidentiables - the more known presidentiables at that. I'm sorry to discount Nick Perlas and Bro. Eddie Villanueva in the race. Mr. Teodoro may be a cabinet member of the Arroyo administration, but observing his recent decisions and opinions, he knows how to stand on his own and declare his own principles to be more important than anything else.

Some see Gibo's bid as a losing battle because he is allied with Lakas-Kampi. Nonetheless, during the presidential fora and debates concluded recently and some months ago, Gibo was a top favorite among the learned audience - students and professionals. We cannot expect Erap to be admired by students anyway. Whereas, Villar has treated the electorate as if we were ignorant through his numerous campaign ads on TV.

Well, for now, I can only wish that many more voters use their minds and measure the candidates according to their capacity and not on what is around them. We are smart voters and so we should choose this person who does not talk trash about his opponents. The one who does not believe in negative publicity to win support of the people.

Sulong Gibo!
