Gibo's WOW
...or Words of Wisdom (WOW)...
This is probably my last post about Philippine elections. Call me a geek, but there were some sleepless nights for me due to anticipation, moreover because of the country's first time to have a taste of the automated system. This is by far the ONLY elections where I really seriously put thought in my chosen candidates, one of which is Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro. His leadership and humility (a very good combination), amongst other reasons, would be his strongest points I admire most, qualities also that attracted thousands (hopefully millions).
Gibo Teodoro: Galing at Talino
I only got this from an FB page, and I thought I should share nuggets of wisdom from Mr. cool himself. Allow me to indulge you in a series of Galing and Talino quotable quotes and anecdotes. This way, you may still get to know more and reconsider your bet for tomorrow's elections. For others, this is just a way of reminding and reassuring you that you have made a fair and intelligent choice. :)

Words of Wisdom (WOW) by Gibo Teodoro
“Should I be chosen as the next president, you will get a government that is really true, clean and fast in delivering basic services. And I will not forget you for giving me your support,”
“You don't have to put people down in order for people to see your own worthiness.”
“I think it's time that the Filipinos will be able to judge a person more objectively than mere association. After all, life is not a basketball team all the time.”
Mike Enriquez: Bakit di mo talikuran yung partido mo, baka sakali tumaas yung rating mo?

GIBO: Eh di parang itinakwil mo na rin yung pagka-Lasalista mo, Mike.
Mike Enriquez: ahehe! hindi naman sa ganun..

"Kahit hindi ko kayo kilala, hinding-hindi ko malilimutan ang pagtulong niyo sa akin. Tatanawin ko itong malaking utang na loob... huwag kayong mag-alala... mananalo tayo.”
During Typhoon Ondoy, the Defense Secretary Gibo Teodoro was asked by people around him to ride a rubberboat to be visibly seen for media mileage. He politely declined and said: "If I will ride a rubberboat followed by many, it will defeat the purpose of saving lives... How can we save lives when there is no more room on the rubber boats?"
"Di ako magpapadikta sa kahit na sino. Gagawin ko lang ang TAMA at NARARAPAT.”

"I am no else's Facsimile. I make my own decisions and no one else can dictate upon me."
"I will not be running for president if I were only to be a puppet, it is not worth my family's reputation to do so."
"Ang usaping pambansa ay pambansa, ang usaping pampamilya ay hindi dapat isama sa usaping pambansa."
Mike Enriquez: Ikaw ba ang mananalo kahit mababa ang rating mo sa survey?
GIBO: Ako naman ang number one sa puso ng tao.
Mike Enriquez: Hindi naman puso ang bibilangin ngayong election.
GIBO: AT HINDI RIN SURVEY.
"I cannot promise an end to poverty, just the road to recovery"
"My main campaign message is reform based on stability because there could be no reform if there is no stability."
"Every Filipino given the chance, given the right environment will outperform everybody else."
"Ang utang na loob sa definition ko is pagsusukli ng mabuti sa mabuti, pag masama na nothing is worth ruining my reputation and my father's reputation."
“I don’t want to run a campaign based on negativity. What sets me apart from the rest is that I run on a platform aimed towards healing past wounds.”
"A soldier goes to battle not because he hates the person infront of him, but because he loves the person behind him."
"Huwag tayo masyadong magtiwala sa mga pulitiko na nangangako ng paraiso."
"Ang kabataan ay hindi isip-bata. I have faith in the youth. They can teach the elders which way to go."
G1BO in Dumaguete:
A man who introduced himself as a pastor asked: "How will you eliminate corruption?"
G1BO answered: "...It's just like asking how you can assure us that there will be no sinners in this world."
"I am not the President. I am not Senator X. I am not Senator Y. I am not defense secretary this. I am Gilbert Teodoro. I am myself."
"Whatever decision you make, I know it will be for the better because you're voting for your future, much more than ours. And so I leave our fate, our future in your hands. We believe, we trust in your capacity to bring our country to a better state."
"It is I who should be the focus, not the administration. I have my own views, goals, achievements, and the capacity to govern. It is convenient, of course, for the opposition to use the administration line of attack, but I believe our people will be able to see through such a tactic."
"If those candidates would come to you one day and tell you that they can solve all the ills besetting the country, provided you vote for them, don't believe them and don't vote for them as they are lying. No such politician can do that."
"I am starting it now (handling the opposition). I am running on a positive campaign now, a campaign that respects each other and does not throw mud. The country is sick and tired of that already. I have the ability to build consensus. Best evidence: I was able to build a concensus as one of the newest members of the Lakas-Kampi. I don't stereotype. I don't judge."
“My campaign will remain to be positive because we need to inspire people, we need to encourage people. We need to help each other and lend a helping hand. It has to be positive because our battle cry is ‘Forward Philippines."
"That's the best way for me to solve corruption. You try to avoid people getting tempted by building their fortitude materially (aside from morally)."
“You have to propel the morale of the people, you have to lift up their spirits to believe that they are going to do well, that the government is going to do well so that the country can be put on another plane,”
“Number two, our country must confront a lot of problems that needs a leader with experience, a leader willing to set aside all differences and genuinely reconcile all sectors to be able to solve our difficulties and take advantage of opportunities facing the country.”
"Corruption is merely A function of what you have to do, and not THE function. If you focus your campaign solely on corruption, then you will just be a crime fighter or graft buster, and that is not what a president is. There was minimal corruption in my department during my time...You've done it in your own home and you can export it. Hopefully."
"You have to get the people positive and upbeat to follow you. Having started a negative campaign, you start your administration with a division that's probably incurable. That's not the way to go, not the way I want my administration to start."
“My campaign will remain to be positive because we need to inspire people, we need to encourage people. We need to help each other and lend a helping hand. It has to be positive because our battle cry is ‘Forward Philippines.’”
“I think that’s the most important thing that I can do. [Provide] some basis for an achievable working arrangement even between disparate political forces.”
“If I were to be running just to be a lapdog or a paid hack, I can very well be that with less risk. I will not risk a carefully guarded reputation and a legacy that I want our son to be proud of.”
"I want to see a Philippines that is peaceful, has strong institutions of governance, has modern infrastructure, has food security, is technologically and educationally advanced, with a people who have the capacity to make rational decisions for themselves, true freedom of thought and of expression, a power in Southeast Asia and perhaps the Asia-Pacific

Gibo's "new minions": the Jejemons
More about jejemons here.
Getting this from someone who's very particular and strict about grammar, punctuation, and spelling, you could just imagine Gilbert Teodoro's ears and eyes bleed when he encounters one. Hahaha! Nice one Mr. Cool! :D We definitely need to encourage these kids to straighten up!
This post actually made me smile, but if we could imagine a society of jejemons, it's not gonna be funny and cute anymore.
Jejemons out there, I hope you'll soon realize how irritating "e0wz p0H mUztahhhhH nah k3!0" is.

A Quick Halalan 101 Lesson
First time voters -- (and with this I mean ALL voters), we only have 41 days to go before the 2010 Halalan (Elections) kicks in.
All will be voting for the first time (literally) for the automated poll elections. If we think we already KNOW what we’re supposed to do, think again. We wouldn’t want to screw up just because we THOUGHT we knew.
This is why it is important to be as informed as we can to avoid any possibility of ruining our chances to vote -- remember, we can only do this once, so it’s better that we actually know what to expect come May 2010.
Aside from showing you a quick tutorial on voting, you may want to consider other channels in getting as much information as you can about the 2010 Philippine Elections. An excellent resource now is made available thanks to ABS-CBN, through their Halalan 101 website.

Aside from the information posted, you can “practice vote" on an online ballot.
The site also has a very elaborate FAQ section, and easy to understand video tutorials. Online users can also participate in both the “live chat” function and discussion forum, also on the site.
How are your election preparations going so far? Please feel free to share.

On Sunday (03.08.10), ABS-CBN will host another debate called "Harapan". This time, the President and Vice President aspirants will showcase their chemistry and teamwork, will convince the people why their match-up is better than the other, and why they deserved to be put in higher office. This can also be participated by a live audience, chatters, bloggers, texters and random people at random parts of the nation via audience response technology provided during the event.
So mark this Sunday's simulcast on Studio 23, ANC and TFC (10 PM Philippine Standard Time). You can also watch it live via streaming at: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/harapan. I'm sure it'll be as interesting as the previous forums.

Presidential Campaign Slogans..toink!
I'm sorry, but I find this quite amusing...I got this from somewhere in facebook.
Still undecided?
Manny Villar Takes YM by Storm
I've been hearing a lot people getting LSS (last song syndrome) of the jingle. Even the noisy kids in our neighborhood, who used to sing Christmas carols, are now singing the jingle. Maybe his intent to get his name out there is working!
Posting this very entry could most likely get Manny Villar 'related ads' in my blog. Hehe! I didn't mean to help, Mr. Villar. :P
Also, I found a Korean version of the jingle from youtube. They said it was sung by a popular Korean DJ in the Philippines, though I really do not know the purpose of doing so.
You can also get the Japanese version of the video here. Even my sister said that the Jap translation was quite accurate. Does Villar have a Japanese and Korean fan base, if not voters?
I wonder, did he save up all these years for a whopping budget in political ads? For whatever it's worth, it may be working as some have even popularized and translated the jingles lol.
Are we to vote based on popularity? View the latest PulseAsia Survey here. What do you guys think is the reason for him to be the leader in surveys nowadays?
