Teddy Bear

When I first heard of the news that Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro has announced his bid to run for president in the 2010 elections, my initial reaction was…

BWAHAHAHAHA!

I thought it was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard this week.

Anyway, since it was featured in today’s PDI (front page ha, mind you), I decided I might as well blog about it.
After all, politics is my next best favourite thing to blog. Next to me, myself and I of course. LOL

So who is Sec. Gilbert Teodoro?

I’m sure you’ve never heard of him before. Not until now.

Busy ka kasi sa work, or sa paglalandi or sa shopping. Kung manunuod ka naman ng tv ay puro cable na lang.

Hmmm, that sounds like me. Hahaha!

Seriously, (seriously daw oh), I too am not familiar with ‘the man of the hour’.

I’ve read though that he’s a bar topnotcher (1989), meaning he’s intelligent and well- educated, he comes from a very rich family, and he’s married to Rep. Monica Louise Teodoro, a former model.

Ok, enough na sa pagiging civil.

What’s my take on Sec. Teodoro’s ambitious plan?

First of all, my hats are off for him and his idealistic plans for our country.

I first noticed Sec. Teodoro during the Manila Peninsula siege last November 2007. Oha, in fairness naalala ko pa. Charing!

He caught my attention because during that stressful event, he was very calm and very diplomatic. When his soldiers arrested some members of the media, he was the one who took responsibility over the controversial arrest. All in all, the Peninsula siege ended peacefully and he played a big role in making it possible.

Back to the current issue, Sec. Teodoro is actually hoping to be the administration candidate for the next election. He is competing with Sec. Dick Gordon and Chairman Bayani Fernando to be its official standard bearer.

You know how interesting his plans for our country?

Well priority niya ang charter change.

That’s so Gloria ha!

He also plans to carry out PGMA’s fiscal reforms measures implemented by the current government for further development of the country. Ewan ko kung ano yun.

In terms of peace and security, he plans to pursue a ‘hard and soft’ approach. Whatever that means. Tunog masahe ha. LOL

In all fairness to Sec. Teodoro, hindi pa naman nadadawit ang pangalan niya sa mga scandals at controversy despite being close to the palace biatch.

Interestingly, he is actually being compared to US Pres. Barack Obama.

Ganon?

So Rep. Nikki is our Michelle?

Hahahaha! What a joke.

I think that he, as much as a good person he is, and very capable for the job, I would like to borrow a line from Anne Slowey in Stylista;


Sec. Teodoro, “you’re not the right fit”.


Obvious ba I don’t like you.

Anybody who supports a corrupt government official like Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will always end up in my Recycle Bin.
Unless you run as independent or with another party, I might change my mind.

But who cares?

Sec. Teodoro wouldn't.

I’m just a small voice.

A simple gurl with simple hopes and dreams.

Dreams of living in a beautiful two-storey home with two children. Raising them as law abiding citizens and hopefully they become beautiful and successful people like their father and me.

LOL
