GabbyD : ” quick question: how does VFA discriminate against pinoys? the US serviceman gets tried in the philippines, and if guilty, will be punished here. right? ”
No.
Case in point – Corporal Daniel Smith. A.k.a. A soldier convicted of rape who was whisked away from prison by OUR VERY OWN GOVT. and the United States. THROUGH the VFA.

Funny, my parents fought through Martial Law as activists and still think de Quiros’ harpings about people power 1 and cory are bull droppings. Maybe Conrado’s actual target audience are just fellow Noynoy fetishists as well. :)

Pinoys-in-Pinas have difficulty evaluating platforms.

One of the stumbling block is this fixation on the hidden agenda.
Example — “I can’t figure out if I agree or disagree with your assertion
that Cory was not a good president unless you first tell me who
is your choice for Malacanang-2010″.

If one needs to know the hidden agenda with Noynoy’s “anti-corruption anti-corruption”, then one might as well decide on Kris Aquino’s out-of-wedlock history. If one needs the hidden agenda behind Villar’s expressed position on the Reproductive Health bill, then Dolphy’s endorsement becomes important.

Also I think that when Cory died the nation was morning the passing of a woman who personified decency, modesty, and selflessness more than it did the loss of the symbol of an older generation’s dreams and aspirations. I think Conrad misinterpreted the outpouring of grief.

Angela,

you have a point. Anybody born 1976 and up didn’t really experience martial law and people power. It’s abstract to them. Conrad is talking over their heads. His audience is much older. Unfortunately, it is also a demographic that does not have the numbers to match the 18 -44 years old voting group

@I AM POOR:)=I think that the real issue of CHANGE is on the right track if we focus on the theme of the campaign as fight between the good vs-evil. right now the ingredients to enforce drastic changes in the political development of national import are nil,in a bottomless pit except that God has paved the way for invoking the recourse to divine Intervention with the death of Tita cory. we are paralized with an electorate whose level of political maturity in debating the real issues on governance are relegated to personalities because of patronage politics and star syndrome among the candidates. where in the world can you find the presidency being contested by scores of self-proclaimed messiah, economic liberators and religous bigots whose only qualification is their sense of despair and self-righteousness. Noynoy did not come forward to lift us from this lowest ebb of political immorality except by fortuitous event on urging of people whose convergence of rigteous sysmetry are dictated by the people’s power choice and will not be eliminated regardless of commercial surveys and advertising gimmicks. I still believe on divine destiny and calling. Lets all pray for it to pass without regret.

I am poor and the issue to me is Good and Evil. Unfortunately for Manny Villar, for me, he is the evil. Corruption is always evil anytime, anywhere.
