2010 Election : Noynoy Joke
February 27, 2010In one of the conversations I had with my friends in law school regarding the 2010 Philippine Election, one friend nonchalantly cast a joke on Presidential Slogan:
“Kung ang slogan ni Villar ay Sipag at Tiyaga, at ang kay Gibo ay Galing at Talino, ang slogan naman daw ni Noynoy ay… Mommy, Daddy at Kris.”
Yeah…, it’s kinda funny. But I guess it’s TRUE! I have nothing against Noynoy but there is something about him, which until now I haven’t figure out yet, that will prevent me from voting him come election day.
I find him (Noynoy) SO WEAK to be a president and POWERLESS to be a leader. In short, he lacks POLITICAL WILL, which I think is the most important characteristic of an effective and efficient leader.
Power without political will is like a shepherd leading a flock of sheep who doesn’t know and doesn’t have a will to direct where his flock will go but is dependent on what his master will tell him. Political Will per se has no fix definition; it’s ambiguous. But its ambiguity leads me to personally define it.
For me, political will is the ascendancy and competency of a person to form and unify the will of the people towards his ultimate goal of attaining the good of all. One must have a VISION and the WILL to carry out the former.
In the case of NOYNOY he has a famous sister, KRIS and his PARENT’s legacy to boot. Hence, I perfectly agree with Gordon when he said: “The Presidency is not inherited. It is earned!”.
Though it is not his fault to be the son of the two icons of democracy nor chose to be the brother of a famous celebrity, he should have worked hard to make a name for himself and try, though inevitable, to not be associated with Ninoy and Cory, because presidency is more than just saying “this” and “that”. “This” which I think he means in his t.v. ad , is the problems of the Philippines and “That” is “Hindi ako magnanakaw!” He should have laid down concrete plans or platforms. Besides, he hasn’t even passed a single bill yet in the Senate being an incumbent Senator. This is very alarming!!!
And by the way, on the lighter side of the story, FORGIVE me but I need, I have to say this, I cannot explain how to describe Noynoy ’s look or appearance, which annoys, irritates me whenever I see him on television. I don’t know. Hahahaha…
For weeks, I kept thinking about the word which would best describe him. But one lucky and faithful day, it just dawned on me, the word “LOSYANG”. Isn’t it the perfect description of him?

You’re so bad! You’re mean! Even though Noynoy like what u’ve said is powerless, he has a heart unlike the other presidential candidates. Yes, Gibo is intelligent but do you think he’s approachable? Also Manny, he must be a businessman only. I think they have no heart like Noynoy have. I know how good Noynoy is. And we do not need a leader who is intelligent and wealthy but doesn’t have a good heart! GO NOYNOY! I know that you will prove to them that they’re wrong. 
For those who vote for Kris Aquino, i mean Noynoy, I hope its worth it. For the sake of the country.

Yah… I would like to agree with your statement. As a matter of fact, the candidacy of Noynoy Aquino as president of this country is even questionable. I mean…he is not even capable for any political position. How can he even approve any bill if he doesn’t even know how to make one? What idiots are there to support him. They don’t know where thy’re going to. If he becomes the president of this country-it would totatlly be CHAOS!!!!
