Presidency is not an Heirloom

MANILA, Philippines-(UPDATE) Don't treat the presidency as "something of a birthright" or an heirloom, a senatorial candidate on Sunday told Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. Former congressman Gilbert Remulla, who is running under the Senator Manny Villar's ticket this year said. "When you treat the presidency as a family heirloom that you can inherit on a sliver platter then you get unnerved when you read the newsflash that your being president is far from being a done deal," he cleared.

The former congressman looks on what Senator Aquino does in his political life. He reviews all the news and did not like the results that's why he speaks. He even said that Senator Aquino thinks that he has mandate from heaven to rule that he finds to accept the fact that a former fish vendor from Tondo is credibly challenging him, referring to Villar who came second in the survey with 33 percent or just an 11-point difference from Aquino's 44 percent.

Presidency is not an heirloom. Of course it isn't, right? But what can we do if the son of the former president wants to follow her footsteps? That is a different case now.

With the election day nearing, what we must do is think and vote the right person depending on his abilities and with regards to what he deserves.
