Social and political criticisms
From DZMM com.ph by Erik Tenedero | February 9, 2013
The DZMM team headed by fmr VP Noli de Castro held yesterday a Halalan 2013 forum at UE theater. The Beteranos were pitted vs Bagitos. Some beteranos were: Alfredo Lim, Ernie Maceda, Ramon Magsaysay Jr., Sonny Angara, Richard Gordon.
Some bagitos were: Bam Aquino, Sol Aragones, Bro Eddie Villanueva, Fr. Leo Casas running for governor of Masbate, Grace Poe - Llamanzares.
Really who are better: neophytes - bagitos who have the whole 3 years to learn their ropes and make mistakes and be big disappointments; or the beteranos who know their way around, who have track record, but who also are....
Although the candidates are given just one minute to explain their platform, one wonders how they can execute their promises.
Most platforms are populist and would give more of this to that: free education and free health care. Of course they are not clear where to get the money; the taxpayers would pay for their promises or more debt (as in USA). They would be needing more resources that we do not have.
Only two want to multiply the resources that we have: Bam Aquino through entrepreneurship, and Jun Magsaysay through the Sovereign Wealth Fund (as in Singapore and Saudi)
What do you think?
Whom will you vote for?
