It is more fun criticizing

Incumbent Mayor Sarah Duterte Carpio withdraws her COC for Mayor of Davao City to be replaced by her brother Baste currently Vice Mayor of Davao City.  Sen Bong Go meanwhile talks of change of plans as announced in the TV radio programs today early morning.   Mayor Duterte's withdrawal was carried by major dailies yesterday.

This now fuels speculation that SDC will run either for President or VP, in a BBM SDC tandem or SDC BBM tandem.  (BBM Duterte tandem tops survey

This confirms guesses long time ago that there will be last minutes sub,   This is the old tactic made by her President father when he subbed for Dino.    Well as politician you are supposed to be smart.  If you campaign early, the opponents will sling mud at you.  Better observe first how the trend go and surprise  everyone.  

Shall I file my COC for President or Senator

It is more fun criticizing

I can file my COC why not?  For senator or even as President. Tomorrow is the deadline

Looking at the qualifications of some of those who filed their COC, I can see that I am ahead with my qualifications and academic ability.  In terms of integrity, I can be ahead.  I am winnable without the current realities of Philippine politics

However I lack the PHP and the machiner to do this.  Only those who have nationwide machinery to run the campaign, ,man the precincts will make it.  This leaves the game to the candidates who are loaded, with political machinery.  

Out with my wish and my dreams

From Inquirer - Possible DQ case vs Duterte

From Rappler - RD possible disqualification

Davao City Mayor Presidential Aspirant Rodrigo Duterte faces possible disqualification says Lawyer Romeo Makalintal.  And as per petition of certain Ruben Castor who said RD candidacy should not be given due course as a substitute for Martin Dino who had an erroneous COC.   Martin Dino filed candidacy for Pasay City Mayor not for President.

However, former Comelec Chair Brilliantes that substitution under the Omnibus Election Code is allowed (but does he know the erroneous COC of Dino.  Legally, if  Dino did not file for Presidency, RD is not substituting for anyone.  But on the other hand the camp said that if that is the case, RD filed before Dec 10, 2015 thus beating the deadline.

Only the Comelec en banc can decide on Dec 16, 2015 the validity of RD candidacy.  And RD will not feel bad if that is the case, although the left and the right and the Muslims will will feel bad.

RD was ahead in the survey which a business man from Davao paid for. Binay and Poe were second and the administration candidate was third.
