What amazes me is you can hail your candidate in one breath for not mudslinging while throwing two fistfuls on your own. Isn't this very different from what you admire of your candidate and what he expects of you? You may want to read up more on Noynoy’s Legislative Record.

For me, Gibo is the best man to lead our country. The reason why the Philippines is still in peril because there are a lot of people who enjoys subjective and destructive criticism. Criticism is ok but before one can criticize a system or a person, one must be prepared to offer better options to improve the situation rather than just being negative and being part of the problem. I believe Gibo can stop mudslinging by being an example himself as he had shown in his actions during his campaign. He is the most professional among all candidates. He has a clear vision and platform of government and a very hardworking person and does not need media to expose his good works. He was a great congressman who passed numerous important and useful bills unlike others who did nothing but ZERO legislation and sat pretty in congress for 9 years. Unfortunately he is Gibo's cousin. Gibo is the best choice for me. Lastly, Gibo is a God-fearing person and all his good traits follow. I think out of the box, therefore, I am for Gibo.

Isipin mo kung ganun mangyari sa Pilipinas. And one think I can not forget, as Chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee investigating the ZTE deal, Gordon exonerated the masterminds ( GMA and FG ), while implication those who exposed the anomaly ( Jun Lozada and Joey ). Gawa ba ng matinong tao yun. Pati Philippine National Red Cross, inagaw niya kay Tinga. Nagkaroon pa ng case sa korte. The first time na nagkaroon ng pulitika sa PNRC. Dabi ni Tinga, gagawin daw ni Gordon na political vehicle ang PNRC to further his political ambition. Tama ba yun ? Eh bakit sa Olongapo, hinawakan ng mga gordon —ama, ina, siya, asawa, kapatid at asawa pa yata ng kapatid —–pero ang Olongapo nanatiling mahirap, ang mga Gordon yumaman ?

Please watch ProbeTV files' interview with Senator Gordon--he answered all those accusations. You can replay it as long as you want! To those people who are also interested, who read this, please do so. Napakadali mong magpaniwala ng tao! Sana totoo ang pinagsasabi mo at hindi ka isang bayaran lang! Tanungin mo kung sino maraming business sa SBMA at Subic at yung naiinvolve sa anomalya tulad ng car smuggling at shabu! You can never put a good man down! Because you can see clearly through your naked eyes his actions! Just stick to what you see and you won't be misled SoP! I rest my case with you, but this coming elections I want only the best--Gordon and Bayani! Now I know whose side are you!

We all know that Marcos is corrupt but has anyone of us HERE ever filed a case against Marcos? But I can point to you what restaurant it was. It is a fastfood chain that sells fried chicken, and they are paying "rent" to Gordon for a piece of land he does not own. The branch is in Olongapo City. So go and ask that restaurant who sells fried chicken. I am not lying, I am telling the truth. One more issue we gotta look at is SBMA during Gordon's time. What made Gordon kapit tuko to his position as SBMA chairman at the time when Erap was already asking him to pack his things up? Isn't it true that riot police and soldiers had to hurt some of Gordon's loyal men just to effect his eviction? And during the time when his men were being bombarded with water canons and being pulled by their hair out of SBMA, Gordon the flash was in a cozy bar drinking with some of his shadowy friends? How true is this? And the reason why he was kapit tuko to his position as SBMA chairman is because he receives certain percentage from investors and contractors? Kaya nga tawag sa kanya ay SHARE-MAN instead of chairman? How true is it? How true also that Gordon runs not to win but to get something from other candidates, asking for something just for him to withdraw. Noon si Erap ang nakuhaan niya ng 200 Million. Now it is Vilar whom he is targeting. how true is this? Hindi natin dapat iboto si Gordon. Ang dapat sa kanya, i-flush para maging FLUSHED GORDON siya. @annie garcia, do i have to file a case just to prove that Gordon is corrupt?

I wont tell you anymore what a person like that is called. If all you have said is true then as carpediemgeorge said -file a case. Do not make up lies. Come on -attacking the way Gordon looks?! It just goes to show how desperate you and your cohorts are. For Hustisya:

I worked with the fastfood company who is currently leasing a 40 sq. meter overlap area in Olongapo which Gordon claims he owns. We lease a portion of about 260 Sq. Meters from another owner and the 40 sq. meter overlap space from Gordon. Despite the disparity in area, we pay almost the same amount to Gordon. Bad thing about it is that, we found out that Gordon does not actually own that space but is either owned by the government or another private individual. We can talk peace while telling the truth naman di ba? Sorry but I have personal and direct knowledge of how corrupt Gordon was.

Character assassination should have no place here! To Hustisya! I like your name. Please live it up through actions! I was born in Olongapo, grew up in Manila, transferred to Cebu, and now working in Singapore. I had first-hand experience of his leadership when he was Mayor then and SBMA Chairman after. I don't know where you got your info. Are you from Olongapo? I hope you were not brainwashed by the rival clan of the Gordon's. I hadn't heard such things when I was still there. And if such things exist, why not try to file a case through the Ombudsman to get hustisya! As far as Gordon's leadership is concern, he's done his job so well as Mayor and Chairman. I can attest to that because I saw what he has done to Olongapo while I was still there! Peace! Aaron Benedict is right! Character assassination should have no place here! To Hustisya!

This is a clear manifestation of political immaturity. For us to DESERVE a CLEAN government, our attempt to find that leader should also follow a CLEAN campaigning and a CLEAN process too. If we will pull out all stops to character assassinate at our candidates expense, how can WE pull off the so-called CHANGE that we are asking for? Are we really a people deserving CHANGE considering our hasty and dirty attempt to find that transformational leader. This does not only go to all Gibo, Gordon bashers, but to all people claiming to deserve change in this country. You will only be ENTITLED to CHANGE if you prove your worthiness to be deserving of that change. If we are going to bad mouth all presidentiables, we might as well not join the elections.

Grabe kung maningil ng "goodwill" yang si flush Gordon.Ganun din sa SBMA. Kaya nga ang tawag sa kanya ay hindi Chairman kundi share-man. Pati Red Cross, binugahan niya ng intriga at ginawa niyang political vehicle. Garapal na mandurugas yang si Share-man aka Flush Gordon. You can asks all the fastfood chains sa Olongapo.
