2010 combinations for president and vice-president

like numbers in a rumble for the P150-million lotto, we can also juggle names for the president and vice-president candidates for 2010. there will no single and unified opposition ticket that will comprise the so-called Genuine Opposition. everything will be split, like the pieces of a bibingka.

as of today, my pink crystal ball sees the following combinations:

lakas-kampi:

president - noli de castro
vice- president - bong revilla

nacionalista party:

president - manny villar
vice-president - alan peter cayetano

liberal party:

president - mar roxas
vice president - noynoy aquino

nationalist people's coalition:

president - loren legarda
vice-president - chiz escudero

united opposition

president - erap estrada
vcie-president - jojo binay

laban ng demokratikong pilipino faction:

president - ping lacson
vice-president - jamby madrigal

Who will win? I do not know. But if elections were held today, monday, march 10, 2008, this would be the fearless forecast of my pink crystal ball:

1. Erap Estrada and Loren Legarda

neck and neck, possibly at 30 percent each. 30 percent is Erap's consistent percentage of voters, while 30 percent is the average of Loren's last two published survey results with SWS.

2. Mar Roxas and Manny Villa

neck and neck for second place.

3. Noli de Castro -- quite close to Mar and Manny.

Erap wants to prove his innocence, the innocence of the lamb, while Loren is a get-up-and-go gurl. Like race horses, their noses are out there, pointed at the finish line.

The rest has to catch up, work harder, communicate better. Visibility and image are the key.

Remember, one year from now, or March of 2009, it will be all systems go!

I think Mar Roxas is the choice of the middle class and the youth for President. Manny Villar is just too mukhang pera, Noli too bobo, Loren too ambitiosa, Erap a has-been and Ping scary.

If Chiz does run for VP, he's going to win. Although personally, I'd go for Noynoy. Bong will be too busy making money, Alan Peter a liar/traitor, Jamby dumb, Binay old. There's something fishy bout Chiz. I just can't name it.

I doubt Erap will run though.

Five Poems by Danton Remoto

In the Graveyard Danton Remoto The walls round the graveyard Are ancient and cracked. The moss is too thick they look dark. The paint on my grandfather’s tomb Has the color of bone. Two yellow candles we lighted, Then we uttered our prayers. On my left, somebody’s skull Stares back at me: a black Nothingness in the eyes. The graveyard smells of dust Finer than the pore of one’s skin— Dust mixed with milk gone sour. We are about to depart When a black cat darts Across our path, quickly, With a rat still quivering In its mouth. * Immigration Border Crossing (From Sadao, Thailand to Bukit Changloon, Malaysia) Danton Remoto On their faces that betray No emotion You can read the unspoken Questions: Are you really A Filipino? Why is your skin Not the color of padi ? Your eyes, Why are they slanted Like the ones Who eat babi ? And your palms, Why are there no callouses Layered like th...

A mansion of many languages

BY DANTON REMOTO, abs-sbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak | 10/16/2008 1:00 AM REMOTE CONTROL In 1977, my mentor, the National Artist for Literature and Theater Rolando S. Tinio, said: “It is too simple-minded to suppose that enthusiasm for Filipino as lingua franca and national language of the country necessarily involves the elimination of English usage or training for it in schools. Proficiency in English provides us with all the advantages that champions of English say it does – access to the vast fund of culture expressed in it, mobility in various spheres of the international scene, especially those dominated by the English-speaking Americans, participation in a quality of modern life of which some features may be assimilated by us with great advantage. Linguistic nationalism does not imply cultural chauvinism. Nobody wants to go back to the mountains. The essential Filipino is not the center of an onion one gets at by peeling off layer after layer of vegetable skin. One’s experience with onio...

Taboan: Philippine Writers' Festival 2009

By John Iremil E. Teodoro, Contributor The Daily Tribune 02/26/2009 A happy and historical gathering of wordsmiths with phallocentric and Manila-centric overtones *** This is from my friend, the excellent poet and critic John Iremil Teodoro, who writes from the magical island of Panay. I wish I have his energy, his passion and his time to write. Writing needs necessary leisure. But this budding, bading politician has shifted his directions. On this day alone, I have to attend not one, not two, but three political meetings. And there goes that new poem out of the window. Sigh. *** According to Ricardo de Ungria, a poet of the first magnitude and the director of Taboan: The Philippine International Writers Festival 2009, “the original idea was for a simple get together of writers from all over the country who have been recipients, directly or indirectly, of grants and awards from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). What happened last Feb. 11 to 13 was far from being ...
