Just barely 8 days before election, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, candidate for President seem to be very much ahead of his rivals, as gleaned from the videos and polls. If you go to You Tube, you find the following:
1. Duterte's name being shouted in motorcade for other candidate;
2. Rally in Mindanao for another candidate, but shouting the name of Duterte;
3. Really large crowds of attendees in rally vs pictures of other rallies which have been photoshopped and filled with filler pictures;
4. Allegations of vote buying by admin candidate in MM gathering; (P1,000)
5. Allegations of incentives by a lady candidate in Mt Province;
6. Preliminay results showing Duterte to be ahead in OFW polls, HK and ME;
7. Impolite OFW shouting the name of Duterte in rally of an opponent.
8. Less than expected number of attendees of rival rallies/motorcade
The business community seemed to be acting negatively as Bloomberg reported a 0.1% dip in peso value, allegedly because of the prospect of Duterte being the new president.
There are two negatives for Duterte: (mukhang nalimutan na ang Australian rape issue)
1. The alleged P211 million deposit in BPI Julia Vargas branch as alleged by Trillanes (how he got this and exposed this makes him liable for violation of bank secrecy law, a conduct unbecoming of a Senator/legislator) He however denied that there are no millions in the said account;
2. The alleged performance in the MBC forum where del Rosario commented that he had nothing concrete for businessman. Well, he said he will have peace and order, and peace and order is a necessary condition for business to thrive
Corrupt din; di maaasahan sa mga pangako?
