New Security Adviser for President GMA: Another Hot Issue

Political accommodation never ends in the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Even if she only have 2 more years to serve, her allies continue to flock her cabinet and other major position in the government. Althoughthis is a prerogative of the president but the question is, how qualified these people are?

Lets take a look at her new appointee, Former Governor Luis Chavit Singson, an administration candidate for senator who lost in the last senatorial elections, is now the new security adviser. If we will take a look at the credential of Singson, can we say that he is capable of doing his job?

Although I want to discuss more the achievements and issues associated with Singson, I rather not. I don't want to be sued for libel for just commenting on his credibility :-). Anyway, we all know something about the former Governor.

Is this in preparation for the coming 2010 Presidential Elections... hmmmm

Lets wait and see what he can do ...

Peace Negotiations Between MILF and The Philippine Government:

With the recent TRO issued by the Supreme court on the MOA between the MILF and The Philippine Government negotiators more people are asking why the government is so eager in signing the agreement. Although we want to have a continuing peace in Mindanao but most lawmakers feel that the government is after something else. They believe that it is a backdoor for creating a federal government, cha-cha, imposing martial law since it is belive that if the MOA will be signed it will create disputes between Christians and Muslims.

Campaigning for 2010 Elections: Early Moves of Philippine Politicians

What can you say about the strategies being made by politicians running for the 2010 Presidential Elections? Most of these politicians are now doing some media and pr campaign. Although their strategies cant be consiered as electioneering, but their actions are really an example of campaigning for the next elections.

Here are some people who are already busy establishing their ground in the possible position that they are running for in 2010 elections.

Manuel Villar - advertisements on television about helping OFW.

Bayani Fernando - posters all around Metro Manila, the metro gwapo campaign.

Loren Legarda - advertisements/endorsement of products on televisions, and taking part in the negotiation for the release of Ces Drilon.

Ping Lacson - endorsement of a product/billboards

Those people who can sustain the high cost of advertising can really have an extra mileage come the 2010 Presidential elections.
