Ganito na lang.....If MB Villar wins, the first thing he'll do is within the first 100 days (hopefully, even earlier than this) is to complete his Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan. This Plan reflects his policy goals, the foremost being: the eradication of poverty through the institution of socioeconomic growth that is equitable, broad-based and sustained.

The Plan, in other words, will contain the specific programs and activities designed to eradicate poverty. These programs shall be be proposed and, therefore, owned by the people as represented by all sectors of society. In other words, such proposals shall come from people like you and me.

Why?  Because the people, like you and I, know what our problems are because we feel them, we are constricted because of them. Our problems maybe seen in other light by other people. If somebody synthesizes them, such problems become clearer, more open to doable solutions....we are no longer at the motherhood level of problem-solving. Ground-level na tayo...thus, promoting employment could be an option to pursue to fight poverty.  How can we do this? What can you propose?

In other words....let the people -- like you and me -- propose the solutions and the let  the President lead us in implementing such solutions.

This is what I like most about MB Villar. He has his plans, but he insists that the people at the grassroots know their problems as well as the solutions better. I wouldn't be surprised if his plans jibe with ours ... because that's the only way he could succeed in implementing his style of governance -- with and by the people.

Kaya, one day in the recent past, he once told a group in which I happened to be a passers-by (asungot): We can discuss things among ourselves intelligently, and we thus move forward with what we want to do. It is my wish that I can do the same with larger groups of people, with all Filipinos, if possible... and together, we could all move forward, with one voice, one goal."

Siguro, that time will come.

Go Villar!

Merry Christmas, and its nice to know that you've been with an NGo in the past. I have been with some NGOs too, and I continue to maintain contacts with them, so I would really be apprised of movements on the ground.

Let's see what happens in the political landscape, so fluid, rapidly changing.

Go Villar!

my point of view on his Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan is of skepticism. it's too vague an it's just another trapo plan, don't you think? why doesn;s he discuss this Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan on tv instead of unloading tv ads worth millions?

i will vote for him if he makes a si mple tv ad na showing how much this tv ad would cost and to donate millions worth of tv ads of himself to the needy. it's hypocrisy. what i mean is that i nstead of burning millions of pesos on tv mr media, imagine how many of the voting public would admie him if e put those millions to help the needy instead? if he plans to spend hald a billion for advertising and public relations, imagine how many poor people (like him once) he could help? if he spent 50 million for tv lang this November and December, imagine how many hungey sould that could have fed? he can do it since he claims to be rich...jmho sir

Campaigns and Grey, one of Makati's (and the world's) top advertising firms is handling MB Villar's marketing campaign. And to tell the truth, more than P400 billion has already been sunk into the making and airing of these ads.

C'mon. This simply means the guy is ahead of the pack when it comes to spending advertising money. Of course, his ads may not be inspiring as those of Noynoy (Hinde ka nag-iisa....) or Gibo (Healing Presidency) but these ads stick to common themes -- sipag, tyaga, humble beginnings, service to the people. Nakakasuka, defintely, because these are the ads that come more out frequently. But these will also be the ads that are recalled by a greater number of people.

MB Villar's election campaign is anchored on a broad-based initiative that is guided by organization, with the required logistical back-up. It should not be surprising why he enlisted BongBong M who'll carry the Ilocano vote and Manny P who'll help enlist Southern Mindanao. It's about strategy. Spending in media is just part of it.

No question about it.... MB Villar comes across as trapo as any other politico. We have had candidates who tried to fight the battle via non-traditional means (Piso-piso, laban sa Trapo...remember this?) and proclaming focus on Platform not Personality (plataporma hinde porma...). MB Villar is simply learning from the mistakes of the past.

Perhaps others are simply scrimping on their funds, thus we see little of them on TV. MB Villar's mind is made up, he has set his goal, and he has invested substantially into the campaign. If we have this guy spending so much, its because he's got a purpose and its not to further enrich himself. He wants to be known as the Philippine President who led his country into its inexhorable march to progress, with equity.

Nothing more, nothing less.

How can you trust someone running away from his accusers ? Why evade questions if you have nothing to hide. Even if Villar thinks he will be ganged up, it could have been a good media presentation for his ads, him against half of the Senate. But he choose to keep quiet and refuse to speak under oath. I'm not a lawyer but as a voter I find this a simple hit-and-run scheme. Even a lowly pedicab driver will argue with a tanod if he is charged with illegal parking.



Villar & the C5 Road
http://professionalheckler.wordpress.co … 20/busted/

The senate committee of the whole recommended the censure of Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. after he was found guilty of unethical conduct when he sought the realignment of the C-5 road extension project that benefited his properties in the area. Twelve senators were seen signing the report; 11 others were seen laughing all the way to the bank.

Sen. Manuel Villar’s corporations allegedly gained 6.2 billion pesos from the realignment of the C-5 road extension project. To give you an idea how huge that amount was, Sen. Chiz Escudero would have run for president “thrice” under the NPC with that amount.

Sen. Manuel Villar Jr’s corporations allegedly gained 6.2 billion pesos from the realignment of the C-5 road extension project. To give you an idea how huge that amount was, Jamby Madrigal would sue her relatives if that were part of her aunt Chito Madrigal’s last will and testament.

Sen. Manuel Villar’s corporations allegedly gained 6.2 billion pesos from the realignment of the C-5 road extension project. To give you an idea how huge that amount was, count his TV and radio ad spots.

This just in! Senators Lito Lapid and Bong Revilla refused to sign the committee report that recommended the censure of Sen. Manny Villar. Lapid and Revilla insisted, “As actors, we are against any form of censureship.”

What about "double entry" ? Villar still has to explain this even if the funds were not released but he "tried".

That does not remove the man from the list, therefore, he needs to be probed further by the voter before casting.

Jamby, Gordon, Noynoy ... those are the senators running for President, aside from Villar. Roxas is running for VP. Kiko is supposedly indie but hitch up to become head campaigner for LP(Drilon Wing), thus his sugod-atras bawi decision. The rest are admin who have to support GMA's pet, Gibo.

Insulting blogs won't make Noynoy win, nor Gibo. The voters will. The trend is set.......

The latest SWS survey show a narrow gap between Noynoy and Villar. Noynoy's lack of experience in governance and his intellectual incapacity -- I'll take Gibo anytime in a debate of minds, shows starkly when under pressure.

Imagine Noynoy telling businessmen during a forum that he will not impose any form of tax during his term? I could see some moguls -- who know the vital importance of taxes to governance, falling off their seats.  Nonoy's view lacked common sense and betrayed his immaturity in the area of economics governance.

Villar correctly stated the obvious: he will modernize the taxation process, make it more efficient and graft-free so that collections will go where it is supposed to go -- finance development and growlth with equity.

Well, I'm sorry but .... it is still Villar who'll emerge in the end.

As far as I can see, the first survey since all the political hopefuls filed their candidacy show that 31 percent will vote for Aquino (Liberal Party) and 24 percent for Villar (Nacionalista Party). Aquino’s previous ratings in Social Weather Stations (SWS) and Pulse Asia surveys were around 50 percent. So we might say that hes losing the Cory magic.

May nagsasampalan ba dito? Sana palitan ninyo ang title ng thread na ito kasi ako may dugong igorot pero ayaw ko kay Villar.
Magaling naman si Gordon kaso malayo syang manalo kaya kay Teodoro na lang aasa.
Hindi na siguro kailangan bangitin yung iba. Ano say nyo?

So, what is his agenda for us igorot people, what are his plans for the highlands?

Any specific projects here in Baguio City?

Will he visit Baguio?
