Bayani for VP

Today is the last day of filing for candidacy for the Philippine National elections on May 10, 2010.

Bayani Fernando filed his COC for Vice President of the Philippines today. I would have wanted him to run for President but I would still vote him for VP.

There are a lot of candidates out there, most of them more popular than him, or more intelligent than him. But I like him because I feel that his political will is what our country needs most today. I like the way he enforced discipline during his term as Marikina Mayor and as a MMDA chairman.

I have watched some parts of his debate with Gibo during the selection process of the Lakas standard bearer, and admittedly, he is no match with the intelligence of Gibo but we've had intelligent presidents before, we also had very popular president, we also had a kind president but the Philippines is still a country that is poor and famous for corruption.

I do not know yet what the Gordon-Bayani platform is, but if they would handle the country, the same way they handled their areas as mayors, then I think that is a good start
