Luzon: From the ashes, dirt or foamboard or whatever.. We always had.

P.S.

CJ: Somewhat unrelated but lemme just try to defend Manny Pacquiao here..

To those who keep saying that Manny Pacquiao should stay away from politics, please try to consider this before saying that again. As much as I hate having him as the next Philippine president (actually, just about anyone who will run for president makes me want to face palm), I strongly believe he might even be the best choice among the candidates. =3=

For one, it is a right of every Filipino citizen to be able to run for any government electable seat. Unfortunately, that right as of now is limited to those who have money and power. So Manny was every right to run for any ffice, that also means his wife can too but I'm not even gonna say anything about that.

Second point. The reason I think he would be the best candidate is because, if you look at the list of people aspiring to run for president at the moment, they're all coming from rich, powerful families which has, for generations, been abusing said power to acquire more power and capital. I'm not gonna name names yet because I don't have a list. But when the official list of presidential candidates are released, I will weigh them one by one..


Okay...so...a list of greedy capitalists, land lords, and celebrities or whatever, and then Manny (who technically is a celebrity too..).

But dudes...an unknown side of Manny Pacquiao is that the guy actually fights for the rights of proletarians alongside some of Anakbayan's sister organization

What I'm saying is...unlike them other candidates who are the ones who run big businesses, stepping on the rights and needs of the proletarians, Manny doesn't. Yep. Have you heard any complaints from any of the laborers of any of Manny's businesses? I haven't.


And the most pressing argument about Manny running for candidacy....his educational background.

Umm....well...I don't really have a solid argument to counter this one. But how about this...

In the Philippine history, do you know who else was ridiculed and thus denied from being the leader of the country because it was claimed he had poor educational background?





Andres Bonifacio.


TL;DR?

Well...okay~...Doesn't really matter that much.
