For somebody whom reports say is very serious in his campaign for the presidency, Villar's action is not just condemnable---it shows Villar's lack of responsibility. Binabastos ni Villar ang taumbayan. Villar is mocking us. Villar just disrespected the Filipino People.
Villar's actions also reinforce the belief that he will just be using his billions just to get elected.
We cannot elect someone who does not respect us. Villar just showed that he is no different from Arroyo.
And it's days after he filed his CoC, yet, we don't even know what Villar is fighting for. We don't know his platform. Aside from motherhood statements that he is for the People and he wants to fight the scourge of poverty, what else Mr. Villar?
We don't know where Villar positions himself when it comes to the RH bill.
We don't know what Villar would do with the secessionist and insurgency problems.
We simply are in the dark as to what Villar will do with private armies.
And we simply don't know how Villar will actually help the poor, whom he claims to belong to.
Is Villar afraid to cross swords with the witty Noynoy Aquino? Is he afraid that he will lose his "mystique" when other contenders expose his lack of an indepth knowledge about the ills of this Nation?
It is very dangerous to elect such a man into office, who thinks that everything is for sale, and who thinks that he is not accountable to explain himself before the very people he wants to serve.
Wow! You have many conclusions made just because he didn't attend the forum.
ReplyDeleteDo you really don't know or you just don't wanna see? That's two different thing, Mr. Mangubat. If Sen. Villar wasn't able to come, he has some good reasons for sure. And I don't think that that's the only forum in the world which he can attend to explain himself.
ReplyDeleteezequiel,
ReplyDeleteyes, because Mr. Villar has committed this thing since he indicated his desire to be president. He did not attend the Ethics case against him and he even now, he fails to attend every forum out there for presidentiables. Ezequiel, I don't think it is too presumptuous of me to say that it is Mr. Villar's policy NOT to attend presidential fora. Me pattern na eh.
Mr. Rene,
ReplyDeleteFor many times already, I have said my piece about Mr. Villar. The one I hate the most about what he's doing is simple--he does not see himself accountable before the Filipino People.
I'd rather have a president who performs than talks.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the debate for anyway? To talk about platforms? There will be other opportunities to do that. Senator Manny Villar has laid down his platform and he can discuss them further during the meeting de avance which is a lot better than some "forum" hosted by an obviously biased and partial TV Network.
Attendance in a presidential forum is not the be all and end all of a person's commitment to the voting public.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe there were other prior commitments that he had to honor? Of course the other candidates love to attend forums, after all that's what they do best - TALK.
Senator Villar is under no obligation to go up there and yak. His obligation is to work, act and produce results.
Besides, better to decline and not show up than to go there and walk out the way NOYNOY did during the Isang Tanong forum of GMA 7.
Your whining and jumping to conclusion is out of order, and the unreasonable act of comparing Senator Villar to Gloria Arroyo is really without merit.
And just where were you when Noy ditched the second part of the GMA Isang Tanong program because he was obviously afraid of more intense questioning? Now, I don't believe, for a minute, that it was because he didn't want to be accused of premature campaigning.
ReplyDeleteNoy may be articulate, but his answers are all motherhood statements. My high school cousin can recite those just as well.
Let's talk about experience and qualifications. Let's see how your Noy measures up.
i think villar was there. saw it in news.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are just mistaken about Manny Villar on attending Presidential Forums, he might have reasonable excuses for those. I don't believe that he doesn't have any concern to all Filipinos. He is so vulnerable and responsible for his every action.
