P-Noy’s Ateneo High School Batch 1977 Will NOT Endorse Mar Roxas in 2016

President Benigno Aquino lll’s influential (many members of this class enjoy top positions in government as political appointees, they form part of the President’s KKK for “Kapamilya” family members, “Kaklase” classmates and “Kabarilan” shooting buddies) Ateneo de Manila High School batch of 1977 will NOT endorse nor actively campaign for fellow Atenean (ADMHS batch of 1975) Mar Roxas for President in 2016. The batch will, however, go all-out to support the Vice Presidential run of Leni Robredo and the Senate re-election bid of Teofisto “TG” Guingona lll, also a member of ADMHS class of 1977.  The former Senator and DILG Secretary is two years ahead of the batch of President Aquino so many of the 1977 class are familiar with or friends and acquaintances of Mar Roxas since their grade school and high school days. No reason was given for the NON-ENDORSEMENT.

Presidential candidate Mar Roxas declares that the Tanim Bala airport extortion scheme is a DEMOLITION JOB hatched to destroy the image of the government.

In 2009 and 2010, a group of Ninoy and Cory Aquino admirers formed the core of the Noynoy Aquino social media offensive for the May 2010 Presidential elections. Grieving the loss of the icon of Philippine democracy, former President Corazon Aquino, the mantle was passed to her son, Noynoy, forcing then Senator Mar Roxas to give up his presidential ambition and just settle on a vice-presidential run (where he lost to Makati Mayor Jojomar Binay).

In 2009, Noynoy supporters formed the Facebook fan page account Benigno “Noynoy” S. Aquino lll. This was the main vehicle that attracted hundreds of thousands of newly minted netizens that embarked on a massive online marketing campaign. There were three other significant aspirants – real estate tycoon and Senator Manny Villar, former President and convicted felon Erap Estrada and then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Administration candidate Gibo Teodoro of the Cojuangco clan (and a maternal cousin of Noynoy Aquino).

Early on, the big fight was between the well funded machinery of Manny Villar and the mainly all-volunteer forces of the self-named Yellow Army in honor of Ninoy’s yellow ribbon upon his assassination in 1983.

Villar was the survey front runner until charges of using his political influence for personal/corporate gain derailed his plans to become the national Chief Executive. It must be noted that AFTER his electoral loss, all the so-called charges against Villar simply vanished (due to lack of actionable evidence). In other words, Villar was but a victim of BLACK PROPAGANDA. The Yellow Army congratulated themselves for installing Noynoy, now renamed P-Noy, in Malacanang Palace. Significantly, most of the Noynoy boosters heavily campaigned for Mar Roxas for Vice President too so 2016 would be REDEMPTION time with the Liberal Party fielding Mar Roxas for President. In other words, a Mar Roxas versus Jojo Binay Part 2 is/was a foregone conclusion, this time for the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines.

What seemed like an epic one-on-one battle in 2016, however, developed complications with the entry of Senator Grace Poe (who was a survey front runner for a couple of months until Davao Mayor Rordigo Duterte crashed the party and is now the Metro Manila survey front runner).

This merely means that the Mar Roxas propaganda group is only prepared to bash Binay and they have not been successful even in this field as the Vice President, in spite of all the negative press related to graft and corruption charges, continues to post survey figures above that of Roxas. With the entry of both Poe and Duterte, the Mar campaign team is STUNNED and CONFUSED since all their efforts in terms of paid media ads are not getting positive results. Mar Roxas was trailing at number three position with Poe and Binay as his opponents, now, with the entry of Duterte, he is languishing in the fourth and last (if you only consider those with a chance of winning) place.

The entry of Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte into the 2016 Presidential race is finally on after many months of uncertainty. In what can aptly be described as a political telenovela, Rody or Digong kept most of his supporters in doubt as he swung from an almost certainly YES to a definitely NO position many times over.

Speculations are already rife that a Duterte candidacy would carve out major portions nationwide from survey front runner Senator Grace Poe while the Davao mayor will grab votes from survey runner-up Vice President Jejomar Binay in Duterte’s own island of Mindanao. The bet of the Administration, the Liberal Party and the ANOINTED ONE of President Aquino, 2010 losing Vice Presidential candidate, Mar Roxas is predictably going down to the number four position in the next national popularity polls.

Should Mayor Duterte win over Senator Poe/VP Binay/Secretary Roxas in 2016, his campaign strategy would be studied for future elections. Mayor Duterte did not announce his presidential plans early unlike Vice President Binay who revealed his ambition way back in 2010 right after being sworn in as Vice-President. The Davao Mayor did not even file his Certificate of Candidacy on October 16, 2015 (the last day of filing) while former DILG Secretary Roxas and Senator Poe filed within the prescribed period of submission. Mayor Duterte would just be relying on a presidential candidate who would withdraw or has withdrawn so he can come in as a SUBSTITUTE (which can be a little tricky although there are a lot of presidential candidates who can be convinced to withdraw in his favor as long as such candidate belongs to a political party).

At the minimum, the entry of Mayor Duterte in the Presidential derby only makes the 2016 national elections more exciting. The possible DISQUALIFICATION of Senator Poe would not automatically hand the Presidency on a SILVER PLATTER to either Vice President Binay or Secretary Roxas, now that the Davao Mayor has thrown his hat in the POLITICAL ring.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago announced that she has/had Stage 4 lung cancer and she underwent chemotherapy for it. She declared that she is/was cancer-free after the the chemotherapy but she has now refused to comment on her current medical condition. Unconfirmed medical reports state that she PRESENTLY has malignant pleural effusion for which she regularly undergoes thoracentesis (a procedure to remove fluid, in this case malignant, from her chest or lung cavity). If true, this means that her lung cancer is NOT under control and is continuing to multiply with the possibility of lymph node metastasis and/or distant metastasis (liver, brain, bones, etc.). Stage 4 lung cancer is highly lethal with a high mortality rate even with the best currently available treatment modalities (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, etc.). At the very least, Senator Santiago does not have the strength and physical capacity to embark on a tiring national campaign.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago and Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte are two politicians very well known for their strict governance, but because Miriam’s popularity is already on the decline, will she really sacrifice her desire to become President and just support Mayor Rodrigo Duterte instead?

Rumors are circulating in the Internet about the forthcoming withdrawal of Senator Miriam Santiago for the Presidency this 2016 to give way to Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. According to some supporters of Mayor Duterte, they are already sure that Miriam Santiago is going to give her support to Duterte because they both care for our country. “We know that Miriam is already not that popular and the best strategy is to pass her supporters to Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and we believe that she is going to to this because she really knows that she is going to lose again in 2016”, one of the supporters of Mayor Duterte said to our source. This was posted by Eusebio Dabawenyo on October 2015, sharing the Duterte master plan for the 2016 election. Everything has already happened except for the withdrawal of Santiago.

This latest news is not yet confirmed by the camp of Senator Santiago. Duterte decided to run for presidency this 2016 because he feels that Senator Grace Poe is destroying the law, as she is not really qualified to run for the presidency because she is an American citizen, but she is resorting to dirty ways to make it possible.

Duterte declared his decision to seek the highest position in the land while he was in Cavite.

Traffic woes burdened the Filipino people in Metro Manila and Southern Tagalog regions due to the APEC meeting. The decision to hold the international conference in the Cultural Center Complex caused endless headaches, heart aches and increased blood pressure as thousands of employees WALKED to their Roxas Boulevard area offices. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles had to take circuitous routes and endure hours of crawling or standstill traffic.

The highly successful It’s More Fun in the Philippines campaign launched years back by the Department of Tourism was a glowing moment in our nation’s travel history. Foreigners as well as Filipinos based abroad were pleasantly surprised at the marketing initiative that received lots of praises. The result was an influx of tourists eager to discover or relive the world famous Filipino hospitality. Today, all the efforts of Tourism Secretary Jimenez seem for naught as international eyes are focused on an extortion scheme that went awry. Had transportation, airport and security officials come out early to admit the problem, it may have dampened the anger of the Filipino public. But in the typical fashion of denying there is a problem to minimizing the existence of one, government bureaucrats, after much finger-pointing and buck passing, found themselves being blamed for incompetence, stupidity or worse. It did not help that Presidential candidate Mar Roxas revealed a conspiracy theory out to destroy the image of the government. Maybe a public relations firm can assign a spokesperson to talk in behalf of the former DILG Secretary so that he (Mar Roxas) would avoid being referred to the veterinary service for FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE.
