		<description>&quot;Gibo can at least claim academic excellence&quot;

I don&#039;t know which subject in Harvard teaches SELECTIVE amnesia. It must take intelligence to understand why Gibo is with Gloria Arroyo. Maybe there are a different set of standards that apply. Very low standards.</description>

		<description>but Giboâ€™s most glaring achievement is the typhoon/flood debacle and the recent massacre in Maguindanao by the people he tolerated and armed. ! -ramrod
--------------------------------------------------------------
Has Noynoy did something during the typhoon /flood debacle that is something remarkable and will put him in  better position over other candidates?  What is his vision for the environment or platform to prevent flood and lessen the debacale. Natural disaster is very common in teh Philippines Does he have something for Disaster Risk Management.


And has Nonoy did something for the prevention of political lordism in the country. Has he doen something to prevent violence such as Ampatuan massacre?  what is Noynoys plan to prevent or curb the poltical lodrdism in the Philippinas. How he is going to address peace and order problem in Mindanao? 

Mukhang wala rin yatang binatbat si Noynoy in these departments.</description>

		<description>Some people are just too dense or too childish to follow the trend of the discussion. Aptitude was the topic and, sorry to say Noynoy falls short because he has nothing to show for in this department. 

There is no school for the presidency, but past achievements play a role in guiding the public on what to expect from a candidate. Impressive academic or entrepreneurial credentials help the public form an opinion of a candidate. They are not fool-proof, but they do count.

Barack Obama was a rather fresh, untested entity when he ran for the presidency. But he had impressive academic credentials. A brilliant Columbia University undergrad. Editor of the Harvard Law Review. Professor of Law at the University of Chicago. These offset apprehensions about his lack of executive experience. And, by the way, that is another point Boo Chanco makes about Noynoy&#039;s campaing. Chanco writes:

&quot;Some enthusiastic Noynoy supporters are comparing him to Obama but they are wrong. While it is true that Noynoy like Obama has attracted a lot of idealistic people hungry for change and clamoring for decency in public service, Obama had an excellent campaign organization that did things in a timely manner. They carefully monitored ever changing voter sentiment and responded quickly.&quot;

Not to mention that Noynoy&#039;s academic credentials and oratoric skills pale terribly in comparison to Obama&#039;s.

Now, simply because some people have run out of arguments in trying to promote their candidate, they resort to lame accusations and name calling. That is not only unproductive, it betrays the pettiness of the person. And it is an old and tired campaign strategy that will no longer resound. Just like Noynoy trying to accuse Villar of being in collusion with Arroyo. It is a desperate strategy of trying to tar and feather the opponent. It won&#039;t fly. Staunch Villar supporters like Peter Cayetano and Rolex Suplico have been fighting Arroyo tooth and nail for years. There&#039;s no point in capitulating to the administration at this time, especially when they have the upper hand. And, as Suplico correctly points out, the Aquino and the Cojuanco family have been playing footsie with the administration all this time. Paul Aquino, Noynoy&#039;s campaign strategist and uncle, is in the payroll of the administration, employed by PNOC. Lupita Kashiwahara is GMA&#039;s close confidant and media adviser. Tessie Oreta is also employed by the administration, just like Tingting Cojuangco. And Peping Cojuangco was installed in the Philippine Olympic Committee by the administration. He is, by all accounts, an administration hack. 

So who are the real paid hacks of Malacanang? Some mentally challenged individuals better look before they leap.</description>

Villar&#039;s name echoes in the business community as a cautionary tale, he stands for everything that should not be done and has crossed lines that should not have been crossed...he better win this election or he&#039;s liable to get bankrupt (like his morals).

		<description>maybe ramrod has a list of Noynoy accomplishments or aptitude or what what ever he got that makes noynoy deserving  the position of presidency that we dont know. 

Well every body knows that Noynoy has really has nothing much to show in his 9 years of public service compared to the rest of candidate.

So maybe he has a vision for the country or platforms...The people has been waiting  until now. 

How wala rin personality, wala rin ni katiting yata na charisma ni Ninoy wala namana hindi namabuana si Nonoy. Naunatlaha kay Kris.

Competency? Qualifications? political skills?

Sus ginoo ano na lang ba meron is Noynoy  other than being the son of NinoY and Cory. Ah OK mabait sya....
 
Well there is the anti Gloria trick. But wait kumiatna eto last years election ah. and with no good results.  ( Thanks to the senate performance of Escudero, Trillanes , Peter Cayatano, and himself) People have already realized that Bening antiGlori is not helping them.

I can understand the difficulty of the campaign staff to come up with something for Noynoy to recover the survey rating.

Geez from 60% Noynoy squandered all his big lead. ...

Pano na kaya yan pag natalo si Noynoy. He dragged the name  of Ninoy and Cory  from the very start  he decalared  his candidacy. And most of his fans or would be voters actually like him becuase of Ninoy and Cory. Di kaya napaalaking dagok naman sa Pangalan ng kanyang mga magulang kung matalo sya.

Di kaya dapat mag back out na lang sya para maiwasan ang nakalaking kahihiyan.?  

Public Speaking Skills, very low.</description>
