The Big Reveal: Presidential Candidate for Philippines 2016 Election

Philippines

As we have written a few months back, we said we are going to research for the most effective, the most reliable, the most honest, the wittiest, the most intelligent, the less likely to be corrupt person to run for the 2016 Philippines presidential election.

We have to say that it was a gargantuan task that really needed thinking, cogitating, regurgitating and again thinking, cogitating, regurgitating and more to come up with our candidate.  I am afraid we find that most of current government officials who have indicated their ambition to run for 2016 were found wanting.

Most of them do not ‘pass muster’ with our criteria no matter how much we lower our expectations 😉

Again, we thought we should not change the criteria, we are going to be electing a president that would hold the highest office of the land.  We realise that it is because of our haphazard way of choosing our leaders that we are saddled with inept and/or corruptible officials.

We have therefore compiled a list for the criteria to base our choice:

  • Ability to connect and to understand the people and their constituents.  After all the president is really the servant of the people and he needs to know how people tick to be able to deliver to them the best possible service.  A genuine love  and respect of people also helps.
  • Visionary – being able to articulate his platform and act on it.  The Philippines is like an artwork that is work in progress.  Unfortunately despite succession of “artists” the work remains unfinished because the clarity of vision is warped by self-aggrandisement.
  • Understanding of the culture within the nation.  Acceptance with eyes wide open that corruption (The Napalos et al) scandals) is heaving and teeming within both the local and national government.  Being aware as well as accepting that there is much work to be done, only then that change can commence.
  • Logical and consistent action on domestic issues.  Being aware of the different cultures from the many region of the archipelago of the Philippines would allow understanding, thus the ability to address the many issues that can occur.
  • Trustworthiness and believability.  Trust is important especially with the one that holds the highest office.
  •  Integrity.  Becoming the First Person is a powerful thing.  Power can easily corrupt. Integrity is therefore required in abundance.
  • Courage.
  • Wit
  • Approachability
  • Great politician, being one with the people.

After so much consideration, it became clear that there is only one person that has all the attributes that would make a good president.  That is none other than……

images2016 is getting nearer and for the Philippines that year will be crucial for Filipinos as they elect a new President and a Vice President, who will be in charge with running the country AS THEY SEE FIT.

2013 was the  year that the anomalous pork barrel aka PDAF was finally exposed as the scam of all scams.  Of course every one knew that there were rackets going on in the Government, but finally PDAF came to everyone’s attention as nothing more than a way to line purses for some unscrupulous people who call themselves senators and congressmen. Senators and top government officials and their minions involved in the corruption fight to keep their noses in the trough and also escape justice.

What the good people of the Philippines deserve is a new leader and government untarnished and willing to ensure funding reaches those that need it.  A new government that is transparent and accountable.

Global Granary will highlight and put every potential candidates under a  microscope, to see if they are more than capable to govern a country, which is in transit from being a third world and at a certain time known as the ‘poor man of Asia’.

Hopefully we will find  the candidates who will pledge to bring change for the better and be worthy of our trust and of course our votes.

Although I know it is still early to think of the 2016 presidential election in the Philippines but with the current state of government that we’ve got, we cannot anticipate this early enough.

We have to prepare ourselves as much as we can.  Vampiric senators have been sucking the lifeblood of the country.  download

Though economy is on the up, the recipient of bounty and glory are the people at the top.  It fails to trickle down to the majority of Filipinos living on the bread line, who need it most.

We have to remember, we deserve the people we get in the Government, because we put them there.download (1)

We are, therefore going to examine each potential candidate and we are going to make our mind up – TOGETHER!

We are going to change our attitudes of choosing. We owe this to our children and grandchildren, to our parents and grandparents and most especially to ourselves.

It is about time that the rule of law is for the people and by the people. The MAJORITY rules not some swapang and buwaya who disguise themselves as lawmen.image

We are going to examine each candidate and we shall mark them according to their abilities and their accomplishment. They have to prove that they are value for money and not money grabbing sharks.

Don’t let us waste our votes for those who are self-serving or worst inexperience and prone to being waylaid into doing corruption.
