A reader in a comment asked, "are you another emotional voter and self righteous person as everybody who’s alligning themselve (sic) to Noynoy?" (you can read that here).
In truth, we haven’t decided yet who to vote for. But we know absolutely who not to vote for and here we ARE emotional about it. We’re not voting for Manny "WYSIWYG" Villar. In fact, we’ll even do our utmost to campaign against him. Here’s why:
1) He doesn’t want to face the senate. His one-hour show last Tuesday was not to defend himself. It was to get media mileage. If he wanted to defend himself, he would have stayed to answer questions from fellow senators.
2) He hides from his accusers and instead lets his allies and party-mates defend him.
####SIDEBAR####
Look at his allies and party-mates:
Alan Peter Cayetano – His skill is to run circles around the accusations and then run circles around the circles, so the result is truth that isn’t even addressing the truth. A born-again Christian, he knows the truth but doesn’t let the truth set himself free. He’s bound by the lies of Villar.
Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel – once a freedom fighter, he’s now relegated to an old man defending a coward by name-calling (he called Sen. Jamby Madrigal an abused child) and using gutter language by insulting Sen. Mar Roxas and his wife.
Joker Arroyo – another freedom fighter and once known as a maverick who once castigated Villar for almost the same anomaly he now defends him with.
####END OF SIDEBAR####
3) He wastes taxpayers’ money by advocating the boycott of his senate lapdogs so that the senate can not have a quorum and thus cannot accomplish legislative work. You should hear how Cayetano twists the truth in explaining the boycotts. It’s pathetic.
4. He says he’ll alleviate poverty but he’s spending obscene amounts of money in TV ads alone (over 600 million pesos in 2009). If he really wants to help the poor, imagine what that amount could do if spent directly for them.
5. He took advantage of the victims of typhoon Ondoy by flying around in a helicopter with Willie "Mr. Sleaze" Revillame and telling all and sundry how he was helping the victims.
Does that reveal a principled leader? Will he turn a crisis into a cat and mouse game as he did with the senate? Will he hide when pressure bears upon him? Will he politicize situations that have legal bearing?
He accused his accusers of politicking even if the C5 controversy was a legal issue. In branding the C5 controversy as politicking, isn’t he doing the same thing?
There’s something fishy about Money Villar (that’s not a typo). Are we going to take a major risk by electing him?
The man should not become President of the Philippines!
