Manila Guide Online

Now that the May 2010 Elections have passed (well, sort of) it remains to be seen what is in store for Filipinos and the businesses scattered over the metropolis. Sure we have a new president but he is still untested. Stability as far as security and if the activists will now be at ease with the new administration has not been settled and until the new president (Benigno Aquino III) takes office, it may not be the best place to visit right now.

For one, the vice presidency has been far from settled. Sen. Manuel Roxas and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay are still slugging it out with the latter leading by about 800,000 votes or so. The new senators have been proclaimed and if you sum it all up, the overall governance of the Philippines still remains questionable.

Add to that political bickering within the ranks which include the naming of Renato Corona as the new Chief Justice which has drawn a howl of protests can only mean that Manila is not at all safe nor secure. Not to discourage touriststs or balikbayans, it would be best to wait until the smoke clears and see if the Philippines had indeed chosen wisely on their new leaders. For the meantime, save your travel itineraries for at least a couple of months more.

While I do have my preservations, this (unfortunately) is the next president of the Philippines. Seriously, does he seem to be the right person to lead the Philippines? To date, he unofficially leads former President Joseph Estrada in the polls but if the trend continues, Benigno Aquino III stands to be the next president of the Philippines.

Noynoy Aquino III is a 50 year old bachelor, someone whose personality was being hit. He was being tried for being psychologically “unfit” and if the picture you see here from ABS-CBN is any indication, is this the face you can trust? What is he going to do when problems like a “Kudeta” arises? Admit he is autistic? GEEZ!

The problem with the Filipino people is they trust this guy since his parents were former Presidents. Spare me that crap! What has he proven? He has taken advantage of his mother’s death as a springboard to dive into the Philippines presidential race. He has nothing to show. In fact, I remember him saying that he will not add taxes, a declaration he later on rescinded.

True or not, Aquino obviously looks like he is mentally incapacitated. You know what a mongoloid looks like so don’t you even dare deny it. Kris Aquino will obviously be the one behind his back and technically calling the shots. And all the while Kris was said to be leaving for the United States if his brother won. Wanna bet she will not hold true to her word and that she just used it as leverage?

To all the Filipinos, Aquino is not officially the next President of the Philippines. But you have cast your votes and this is what you have chosen. I am not saying that the other candidates were any better but electing a mentally unfit senator with nothing to show? I can just smell further doom for the Republic of the Philippines. God Save Us ALL!
