Chiz Escudero as President? What do you think? Is he capable of such position? This are the question I will try to answer based on what I see and researched.
Chiz is 39 years old now but will turn 40 this coming Oct so he is qualified to run as president this coming 2010 election. In choosing a president we will look in to his educational back ground. He is a lawyer and with Master’s Degree in International and Comparative Law from prestigious Law school in US. He has a good political background. He received a lot of awards from different institution for being a Good leader and has a good credibility.
For me personally he is qualified but then we cannot expect to much from him. I’m sure they will be a TRAPO soon or else he will not get support from other politician. That is Philippine’s Political System and I guess no one can changed that. So much for that I need to go fow now. BYE
Aga mo namang manghusga ng kapwa mo. Sinayang mo lang oras ko magbasa dito, e alam naman na naman ng marami maganda ang political and educational background ni Chiz. Lahat naman ng ayaw sa isang politiko TRAPO ang bato ninyo, kaya basag na basag na tenga ng mamamayan pag yan ang tira ninyo sa isang taong ayaw ninyo. Wala tuloy kayong mapaniwala na.
O siya, sa susunod lawakan mo obserabsyon mo at iba naman putahe birahin ninyo, bugbog sarado na sa inyo si Chiz , kasalanan ninyo yan pag lumakas siya lalo kasi panay ang bira ninyo sa kanya …Totoy Bakal

I am not against of Chiz Escudero, he has the capability of being a President in terms of educational background and credibility. My point is i’m sure he will be a TRAPO soon if he want to remain in position. The Philippine political system will dictates him to do that or else he will be the next Pres. Estrada that is being evicted from the position.
Sen. Chiz Escudero said he wants to run for president at a young age because he’s afraid that if he does so when he is older, he might end up acting like a trapo (traditional politician). But since his early days as a politician, Escudero has already been acting like one:
1. He didn’t support the impeachment of then-Comelec Commissioner Luzviminda Tancangco despite the overwhelming evidence against her. Chiz cannot deny the fact that Tancangco was the architect of the Mega Pacific deal that involved billions of pesos. The deal was later junked by the Supreme Court. She was also involved in the Voters Registration and Identification System (VRIS) project. It reeked with irregularity when she awarded it to Photokina for P6.56 billion despite the Comelec’s budget of only P1.2 billion.
Actually, the impeachment reached the plenary but Escudero and his Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) party had the numbers to thwart the impeachment.
2. Escudero didn’t support the impeachment of former Ombudsman Aniano Desierto. Lawyer Ernesto Francisco and civil society groups filed an impeachment case against Desierto for culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust. Despite the overwhelming evidence similar to the one filed against current Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, then Representative Escudero didn’t have any second thoughts in helping the majority junk the impeachment complaint.
3. Escudero didn’t support the impeachment complaint against then-President Joseph “Erap” Estrada, again despite the overwhelming evidence. Back then, Escudero saw nothing impeachable about Erap, in the same manner that today Rep. Mikey Arroyo sees nothing impeachable about Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
4. But the most repulsive act Escudero did was when he, together with his “Brat boys” in the NPC, initiated the impeachment of then-Chief Justice Hilario Davide. Of course, they didn’t succeed because of the furor à la People Power whipped up by their unreasonable and childish initiative.
I wonder why these things have not been raised in candidates’ forums. The electorate, especially the youth, should study and look at the past actions of people running for high office or they could be duped by glib talk.
He is also a PRO MARCOS AND PRO ERAP and the author of the controversial right of reply bill
Lastly try nyo manghiram ng newspaper ng mga taga UP ng mabasa nyo lahat ng baho ni chiz, kayo na humusga kung eto ba gusto nyo maging presidente
@alfred in short he is already a TRAPO.. LOL
He’s not good enough for me…the way he speaks, the way he expresses his views…not persuasive enough. I would rather choose Gibo because, so far, he speaks his views on issues with sense.
Kapatid… you have a lot of hatred in your heart. No political system nor person can change that but by the decisions you make. I just read your headline and a few sentences in your post. It’s pretty much optimized for your targeted words. Malaki na siguro kita mo sa Adsens noh.
Sayang, you have a lot of potential.. but a lot of hate can only get you as far. Anung crimen ba ang ginawa ng sistema sa iyo?
If it’s poverty… well poverty is a choice, no government or system can eliminate that… it totally depends on us?
If opportunity… I think by now you know that opportunity has to grabbed by.. us – how did you come about blogging.
So bottom line?…
@roy, Its your opinion and I respect it . I am not sure about Gibo since he is in the administration and cannot share views for himself but in be half of the Malacanang
@jay I appreciated your opinion. Yeah I admit, I am writing this for traffic purposes and to enhance my SEO skills. Adsense? di naman masyado, pangcandy lng.
But in my opinion about Political System in the Philippines, I will stand on it. I’ve been serving the government at the age of 16, as SK chairman in our place. Some of my cousins encourage me to pursue my political career but I refused. I promised to my self not to be a part of this system. Its not just about government system alone but Filipino attitude by nature. There are hundreds of reasons for this hatred but medyo mataas na if i-discuss ko pa.
I am not that knowledgeable enough about laws but, somehow, I know some things. I think it is not something about the political system…how the system implemented it is. You might have blamed Malacanang for things that have fallen short our expectation, but a good foundation for more effective political system lies on the people. What have we done? What have we contributed as expected responsible citizens?
Undeniably, a big part of Philippine failure on some things is greatly contributed by many citizens. How could I say that? Because I see it. Nakikita ko ang kabulukan mula sa mga ‘tambay’ na palasak sa aming lugar sa tuwing ako’y umuuwi galing sa trabaho. Mga salot -laklak nang laklak, anak nang anak – na umaasa lamang maambunan ng tulong. Maaring sabihin ng iba na di natin sila masisisi dahil pinag-aral ngunit hindi binigyan ng halaga hindi nakapag-aral…hindi nakapag-aral kasi mahal ang tuition at walang tulong mula sa government. But that does not exactly justify the destiny they have now. Yes, alam ko kasi gumapang din ako sa putik bago maabot ang sa palagay ko’y sapat na dunong. They should have done too.
Maaring sinisisi natin ang Malacanang for corruption but we should realize that even in our office corruption exists. I should know dahil alam ko kung papano ninanakaw ng mga kapwa ko empleyado ang oras ng trabaho ( na akala nila’y di ko napapansin). In other words, hindi kailan man maipapatupad ng pamahalaan ang sistema ng mas tama hanggat hindi nawawala ang kabulukan na namamayani sa marami pa ring ordinaryong mamamayan. Maaaring marami pa ring pagkukulang ang pamahalaan ngunit hindi sila Diyos upang mapunan at maisakatuparan ang kaganapan ng ating pagkatao. Dapat nating tandaan na ang pinakamahalagang salik sa ating pag-unlad ay nasa ating mga kamay. Sa pagkilos ng tama even if we know that many people are doing otherwise. Sa pagtupad sa mga tungkuling nakaatang sa atin as expected responsible citizens.
Maaaring ang Pilipinas ay hindi mapalad sa maraming bagay subalit nagtatamasa pa rin tayo ng mga privileges na lubhang mahalaga para sa tao…mga bagay na hindi kailan man o hindi lubusang natikman ng napakaraming mga bansa…maaring hindi tayo ganun ka-unlad subalit naniniwala akong tayo’y patungo roon. At nais kong maging bahagi sa pagsasakatuparan ng pag-unlad na iyon.
Anu’t ano man ang ipinupukol ng ibang lahi sa atin, iyon ay hindi dapat makapagpababa ng ating moral. Tuloy lang ang buhay. Tuloy lang ang pagkilos ng tama para sa ating kapwa..para sa ating mga magulang…para sa ating mga anak..at para sa Diyos.
P.S. THE PHILIPPINES STILL DESERVES PEOPLE LIKE US.

Clearly your blogs need editing but that is just a side note that I wanted to comment about. The real issue here is whether or not is there a person better than Chiz right now. With all the hype about noynoy aquino running for president, the society is actually turning this into a popularity contest. Correct me if I’m wrong but it is already clear. Chiz may have his ups and downs but is there really a better candidate? Being a trapo doesn’t necessarily mean that he is not capable of being a good leader. Think about it, would you like to give the position to an eye candy (popularity wise not based on his ‘NICE’ face) like noynoy? Or give it to Chiz who is very well educated and does not really have a problem with the society? At the end of the day we see an obvious choice.
- Just a 15 year old’s two cents
jeje, nice thoughts from all of you..
punta kayo s sorsogon,( chiz province ) & tel me f u still want him as pres?
