More Unknown Candidates from the Unknown Presidentiable's Party - May 2010 Senatorial Candidates

I, personally, don't have much to say about the candidates below except for "Who are you people!?"
If you want to know more about them, I suggest you go to their website: http://www.angkapatiranparty.com/. I haven't visited their individual "credentials" but I do hope that it's more substantial than their presidential candidate.

Meet JC de los Reyes 2010 Philippine Presidential Candidate... eerm who?

Photo courtesy of http://www.angkapatiranparty.com/
No disrespect to anyone wants to vote for JC de los Reyes but seriously, what was this guy thinking when he decided to run for president? The only credential he has to speak of is being a two time councilor of Olongapo City and this is also what's basically listed (and it's a very short list) in the website of their very own party called the Ang Kapatiran Party.
Just to prove my point, here is JC's "resume" from their website:

Coun. John Carlos "JC" de los Reyes

PERSONAL INFORMATION:
• Born February 14, 1970
• married to Dunia Valenzuela and gifted with three children – Gabriel (10), Santiago (8), and Barbara (6).
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:
• Ateneo de Manila – Elementary Education
• De la Salle Zobel – High School
• Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, U.S.A - B.A. in Theology
• University of the Philippines - Public Administration
• Saint Louis University, Baguio City – Bachelor of Law
WORK EXPERIENCE:
• Philosophy instructor in the University of Asia and the Pacific under the tutelage of Fr. Joseph de Torre
• Proprietor of Legobrick Systems and Designs, a company in the business of manufacturing clay bricks to build genuine brick homes
• Executive Director of Breaking the Yoke of Poverty Foundation
• Two term and currently elected Councilor of Olongapo City
*His long time friendship with Nandy Pacheco, founder of Ang Kapatiran, who he worked with as early as 1996 led him to be the only winner of the party from among 30 national and local bets in the 2007 election. His election was a political comeback after a nine-year hiatus from local politics (JC was first elected councilor in 1995).
*His political career has mostly centered on countering traditional politics by asserting the principle of subsidiarity and the prophetic politics of personal and social transformation.
His passion and mission is to work toward genuine social justice.

I'm not really sure what he's trying to prove. He has no experience. He's basically just starting in his political career... and as much as I applaud him for being so ambitious as to aim high but maybe aiming for the highest position in the country while not going through any other position is too much of a far reach. The fact that he was endorsed by two bishops does not add to his credibility either. They probably like him because he has a B.A. in Theology. Besides that I also read in another blog post comment that he's the nephew of Gordon. Talk about weird.
Would you believe I actually know of one person who's actually going to vote for JC?? I haven't found out his reason yet but he seems pretty decided. I'm very interested to find out how he came to this decision. If you're one of those people thinking of voting for JC, let us know why. Who knows we might actually change our vote.
Final word for JC: Change your picture in your party's website. It's... well.. gayish. Hahaha! It's just my personal opinion but it's not very becoming or appropriate for someone who wants to run for president. It's more like a Facebook profile pic or a "I'm coming out" statement.
Peace!

Thank God It's Yellow Friday: "Rally" for Noynoy in Makati CBD

I just heard news that Noynoy supporters will be trooping to Makati tomorrow and Friday hereafter until election day (except for Good Friday). According to the Noynoy Aquino for President website (http://www.noynoy.ph), this is NOT a rally. Take note: it's NOT a rally. There might not be any need to panic but perhaps just reason to add a little allowance to your travel time estimate if you're planning on going to Makati for a Friday gimmick.
Yellow clad Noynoy supporters will be assembling at the following points at 4:45pm and will stroll along the sidewalks from the assembly points to the Ayala Triangle Garden then already disperse as soon as the four groups converge at the garden.

• RCBC Plaza - Ayala Avenue corner Buendia
• People Support - Ayala Avenue corner Buendia
• McDonald's, Pasay Road corner Paseo de Roxas
• Sta. Potenciana Gate, Urdaneta Village

If this is the case, then I don't believe that they'll be causing any monstrous traffic jams so long as they keep to the sidewalks.
In any case, it will be quite a spectacle to see groups of yellow clad people walking the sidewalks and converging at one point.
I wish them all the best. So long as they don't cause traffic (especially since they picked traffic ridden Fridays of all days), I'm all for what they're trying to do even if I'm not yet a decided Noynoy supporter (but I'm definitely NOT a Villar or Erap supporter).
At the very least it seems like it's going to be a peaceful and unobtrusive "demonstration" of support for Noynoy.
Happy Yellow Friday!
