Elections have
finished, and everyone who has won is eyeing for a position. There are talks
about the speakership of the House of Representatives, and also about The Senate
presidency. Others eye for some commitee chairmanship. But no one asks about
the obvious. Who will sit in the throne of power in Malacanang, after Rodrigo
Duterte? Because let’s face it. The first thing, a politician thinks after an
election, is the next election. And the next election, is a much more important
election, than this years election. For it is a presidential election, we will
elect a new captain that will stir the nation.
Everybody is
saying that Mayor Sara, will be the next President after his father. For a
number of reasons, that are logical. But for me, it is still too early this
time to count the chicks. The eggs are not yet crack. But one thing is for sure,
we may have a new female president, after President Duterte step down on 2022.
I’m 70% sure of it now. Why? Because of the probability. Too many female
candidates might run for office. And some of them, are too obvious in showing
their interest. Let’s enumarate them.
Of course,
there is the Vice President, Leni Robredo. She has too run, cause if she won’t,
although it’s inevitable whether she run’s or not, it will be the end of the
Liberal Party. It might cease to exist in the Philippines. The probability of
her winning the race, is very low. Just
look at what happen to Otso Diretso, all of them lose the race, which whom she
endorsed. It’s just like saying, we don’t want you, and like you. Plus, she
does things that ruins her. She attacked the President, with his Hitler
remarks, that he might do to drug addicts, what had Hitler did on the Jews. Yet
she, when she went to Germany, sits on the tombstones of the Jews, that Hitler
had massacred on World War 2.
There is also
Grace Poe, who is also not an administration senator, but chose to stay away
from the Liberal Party. She was rank second among top 12 senators, that had won
this election. She thanked the people for electing, and she is saying that she
is not from the administration, she had not compromised her principles. What
does she really meant by that? She is announcing her bid for the Presidency.
And a little
rant, to some candidates. To those who have won, who want to thank the people
for their support. Thank us, by doing your jobs right, and not stealing the
taxpayers money. Stop posting posters, thanking the people, that you won! That
posters, will just become additional trash that you will never clean by
yourself! There is this partylist here in our city, that I will not name, but
are connected to the Nograles, everytime they won, they post this thank you
posters, congratulating themselves on winning. Are what you doing a bit
narcissistic, on your part? Stop doing that. Nakakainis para sa mga tao,at
magdadagdag basura lang. Sorry naubusan ng Ingles.
If the number
2 will run, what more about the number one? Cynthia Villar, 20 million plus
voted for her. If she can maintain that number, until 2022, then she may have a
chance. Although some political analyst say, that being number one in a
senatorial election, doesn’t always translate to also winning the presidency.
Just as her husband did, on his own bid for the presidency.
And now, the
most obvious choice. As some political analyst, and common people say who is
most likely to win, Mayor Inday Sara Duterte. The daughter of the sitting
President, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. If their will come into fruition,
this will be a first time in the history of the Philippine politics, and
election. A parent passing the reins of power, to his child, as if it was
inherited, like in the time of kings and emperors. As if it was dynastic. If it
will happen though, it will not be dynastic, for it went through the process of
election. If she will be the choice of the many, then she will be President.
Although, the
people will be the one that will put Sara in the seat of power. There are many
outside factors, that will help her, other than us. First is her father, the
current president. Although he utter some words, that the earlier his children
go out of politics, the better, and the presidency will only destroy her(Sara).
The action speaks otherwise. Why is Mayor Sara, on the entourage of the
President, when they did some signing of deals in China? She is not needed
there. There is no other reason, but preparing her to takeover, at the end of
the term. Because let’s be honest. It became a tradition, of newly elected presidents,
suing the former presidents and jailing them, for their alleged crimes. Duterte
has many crime allegations. If other candidates win, we can’t be sure. But if
it’s Mayor Sara, well she is her daughter.
Others are
foreign influence, particularly the Xi Dynasty of China. As I said, she was on
some of the trips on China, and other countries. China has poured money in our
country. So would they chose a new unknown personality, that might derailed
their investments? No, they will go to people that is reliable. And who could
be the other choice than, an another person named Duterte also.
The other
thing is the West Philippine Sea issue. I commend this administration, for
handling the issue with prudence, rather than with rashness that may led to
miscalculations, miscalculations that may led to war. I think Mayor Sara will
continue, the same foreign policy.
The West might
also like her. For she is not an extremist, like her father, who hates them.
She might have a moderate view of the West, especially of the US.
Those are the
only two factors. They can’t really rely on the Military, not because they are
traitors, but their loyalty, is on the constitution, rather than the person who
is the President. The business community, are split-minded with the Duterte’s. Some
like them, most do not. And the Church, specifically the Catholic Church
leadership, don’t really support them.
I know, that
it looks like, more of a endorsement rather than a prediction. I might vote for
her, if she runs. I’m not saying, that there will be no male candidates, that
will run on 2022. They will be some. If they continue on pushing Tito Sotto out
of the Senate Presidency, then he might be adversarial, and become the new face
of the opposition. Plus his answer on the question, that if the senate will
still be independent, despite the overwhelming win of the administration
senatoriables and reelectionist. His answer was, on every senator’s mind,
someone is whispering, you might become president of the Philippines sooner. So
that’s why the Senate, will be still independent, despite of. He is a senator
too, is someone whispering on him too?
Other names
might be Marcos, the son, Pacquiao, etc. But as with Aquino, the son, and
Duterte himself run as President. Their are some unforeseen events, that made
them run, and somewhat help them win. On Aquino the son, was the death of their
mother Cory Aquino, and Kris Aquino’s pronouncement. On Duterte’s part, was the
decision of the Supreme Court, to let Grace Poe run. I’m still waiting for the
unforeseen events, that might be a game changer. But as long as nothing
happens, because of the probability, we will have a female president on 2022.
