Philippine Politics: Mike Velarde-Erap in 2010?



Share |

erapandmike bloggistacom 249x191 Philippine Politics: Mike Velarde Erap in 2010?Brother Mike Velarde is considered to be one of the serious contenders in the 2010 Philippine Presidential Election, and is ‘rumored’ to get Erap, the former Philippine President Joseph Estrada as his Vice-Presidential running mate.

Velarde, an Evangelist and a businessman who is into Real Estate Development and other business ventures leads the Catholic group El Shaddai which claims to have millions of members. His popularity as a “theologian” has earned him power and influence – economically and politically.

Do you think a Velarde-Estrada tandem appeals to voters? Will you vote for them? Feel free to post your thoughts.

    if villanueva run in the election, I don’t there’s nothing wrong in velarde running this time. although, I may not necessarily vote for him.

    but the idea of erap as vice-president after he has served the country as president is totally insane. I’m definitely not an erap supporter, but such an act is an insult to our already stupid election system.

    I dunno, but i feel that the erap magic is still there, it’s alive and kicking.. Should it be allowed, I think erap will run again for president and on my opinion he’s winnable.. am I an erap supporter? not really.. but he’s appeal remains strong.. Lacson is a good option so as bayani fernando.. but i don’t think they have the winning power.. But of course, the mmda chairman is truly a good choice..

      Unfortunately in our country, it’s not about performance and right qualifications, but star appeal and popularity with the MASA.

      • Snow says:

        @Joliber – you are definitely right that joseph estrada’s magic and charm is still there. he wouldn’t be a bankable moviestar without his charisma in the first place and the pinoy masses really think that he is the closest to ramon magsaysay…i can definitely see this here in our land whether you like it or not.

        @bloggista – mike-erap tandem is surely a good team-up but personally it would be a shame for a former president to be demoted to a VP again even if his presidency brought him to jail. hmmm, thoughts to ponder… but in anyway, this team-up may sizzle up the 2010 presidential elections…lets see…lets see…

  5. Yikes do we have anyone else who can run hahahah B this is your chance to run and we’ll back yah up ;)

      LOL – as I’ve said before Metz, I will be a dictator. All public transport will be owned by the government. I will take back petron. I will abolish pork barrel. All purchases and project contracts shall use an online purchasing/bidding system transparent to all. I will fire many people in LTO, I will increase govt salaries, incl. police to Php35,000.00 starting. :-) Smoke belching vehicles will not be allowed registration – strict implementation so that there’s no need to hire many Anti-smoke belching personnel you see in major highways and expressways.

      I will automate traffic lights – will hang traffic police and enforcers who will play with the traffic lights. LOL.

    I don’t think i will. Sawa na ako sa Masa Appeal. Meron pa bang iba? LOL.

  7. kengkay says:

    kakatakot kapag nanalo sya, sa totoo lang. iba ang klase ng appeal nya sa masa, tapos haluan pa ng showbiz appeal — hayss

    sa totoo lang kundi ikaw, si reyns ang iboboto ko :) pero seriously, sana may kandidatong maging totoo para sa bansa sa sunod na eleksyon

  9. Kung matuloy man itong planong toh about sa tandem nila for 2010, I hope the Filipino people will think na it will be such a foolishness to re-elect someone who has been proven to be corrupt.

    Ako na lang iboto niyo kapag nasa tamang edad na ako. Pangarap ko maging pangulo ng Pilipinas! ^__^

    I thought Erap can’t run as one condition for granting him a presidential pardon? sorry, I have not watched television for a long long time and this is the last news I could remember about Erap.

    • bloggista says:

      Yeah, but I thought for the Presidency position. But you know how things like these are done – everything can be done, and people have very short memory span. :-)

  12. Yo!!!! Welcome to the club of presidential pretenders Bro. Mike. Ang saya-saya ng Plipinas pag siya maging presidente natin.

  13. Ayos din si Bro. Mike bro, it’s common knowledge naman dito sa atin na most of our religious and political leaders don’t have in their vocabulary the word “self-restraint” and “limitation”. Dito, pwede artista to pulitiko, pulitiko to artista, actor to singer, boxer to singer to congressman. Do you still remember your dean in college who was branded by some of her colleagues to be a “jack of all traits master of none”? Anyway, let’s give Bro. Mike the benefit of the doubt, ang saya-saya talaga!!!!!

    • bloggista says:

      Personally, I don’t approve it when religious leaders start to creep into Politics. But we’ll see. Maybe there’ll a better leader that will come out soon.

  14. Definitely it’s a no-no for me. Just because Mike Velarde has a lot of followers in his El Shaddai movement does not mean that he possess the qualities of a good leader. And definitely no for Estrada. A person like him with not so much education can probably become a “puppet” of those persons around him and we can probably see another EDSA Revolution if that happened.

    ako kay Bro. Eddie VILLANUEVA ako..
    wala akong tiwala kay ERAP at lalo na kay VELARDE.. marami na kasi ako nalaman sa kanya at isa pa si VILLANUEVA talagang May Tunay Na Pagmamahal sa DIYOS AT BAYAN

  20. missprovocative says:

    Elections should be campaign-free. It should be a challenge for both the political leaders and the voters to know wo are they electing and how the political leaders can be publicly attached without campaigning. Ang pag-asenso ay nararamdaman.

  24. Prince says:

    BRO. EDDIE flunk last Presidential Elections of 2004, ranking third despite of quite a number of supporters and followers.

    PING LACSON also flunk the Elections as Presidential Bet kahit na favored siya.

    MANNY VILLAR has so many controversies, financially capable of leading though.

    MAR ROXAS is rich and famous also because of his fiancee but has a tendency to promote the interest of the elites only (as proven)

    NOYNOY AQUINO has the brains and the public sympathy but has no First Lady (LOL)

    BRO. MIKE religious yet controversial because of claims of “unconfirmed” corruption.

    CHIZ ESCUDERO a good speaker and lawmaker but a certified TRAPO accordingly. He left all of his volunteers hanging after he won and blocked all of his communication lines.

    Sino pa ba???? May positive and negative points lahat- choose the BEST lang talaga…Why not try EDDIE GIL instead para lahat tayo maloko na…hahaha…

    a professional joke po…
