Whoever said Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro will not make it in the 2010 polls must pray hard that the elections do not favor him.
Just today, I happened to see Smartmatic conducting an educational-demonstration at the Shangrila with KBP members, PPCRV, and Comelec officials as members. Smartmatic informed the participants in the demonstration how the automated system would work in the 2010 polls. Afterwhich, a mock election was conducted to test it.
The boxes containing age demographics was used as reference for Chiz Escudero, Loren Legarda, Noynoy Aquino, Gilberto Teodoro, Manny Villar, and Erap Estrada. After the mock elections the results were revealed by PPCRV Chair Henrietta De Villa as follows, Teodoro got 8, Villar, Erap, Noynoy and Chiz got 3 votes each, and Loren got zero.
What is the implication of this? Although Gibo Teodoro is allied with Gloria, he is not as bad as she is projected in the sense that he is a possible savior of this country. With the KBP members as the mock voters, it means that sensible people will know that Gibo is a good candidate and will possibly deliver once elected as president.
We need change, but we do not need drastic changes which might just imperil our progress. GMA may be unpopular, she may be hated, but she has started out projects to cover every minute aspect of every single problem in this country. From education to agriculture to corruption even to climate change. If we hate Gloria's policies that should not mean we should hate the fact that she is working. Even if we think her policies are ineffective at least she initiated the reforms. All that Gibo has to do is to start moving from that foundation put up by GMA.
Gibo para sa pagbabago tayo!
Stumbled upon your blog while looking for information about poll automation.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good sign that the poll automation would definitely make this upcoming elections easier and cleaner. I'm appeased as the people who voted are KBP members and aren't people who would have personal ties to the government or the Smartmatic. Here's to the success of the poll automation!
Gibo is often maligned because he is associated with GMA. However, no one can refute the fact that the man has an excellent track record, much more impressive than his cousin, Sen. Noynoy Aquino, whose achievements are still questionable as of this moment.
ReplyDeleteThe latest mock survey just proves that Gibo indeed has what it takes to lead our country and that people do believe in his capabilities. I was surprised that majority of those in the media supports Teodoro. It runs contrary to a popular belief that broadcasters will not support the administration's bet.
If there is a group of people who knows these presidentiables well enough, it is the reporters. They cover them 24/7, so they know their respective personalities; their good traits as well as their bad habits.
Winning the mock election among KBP members says a lot about Gibo and his credentials. Earning the trust of the media is not an easy task especially if your boss is Gloria.
Kudos to Teodoro!
