4. Joseph "Erap" Estrada

Oh, hey, I thought you said you wouldn't run for office anymore.


But then again, you probably couldn't resist, could you? Is it because you're lusting for power? Is it because you want to show the world how corrupt you can be? Is it because you want to be impeached again? Or is it because you genuinely want to help the Filipino people and lead them?


Somehow, I find the last question as the least believable motive.


Although, to be fair, it wasn't your fault you were considered for candidacy. That decision was given to the Comelec and Supreme Court. Of course, as everyone knows, they said, "Tao dapat ang humusga."


And tao chose to return you. They overlooked the fact that your crimes were proven years ago. They forgot that they once flooded the streets, calling for justice, for you to be impeached, for you to step down. Or don't you remember People Power II?


On Erap's case, I don't think that he is a wise choice. He shouldn't even be running for President. But no, we have to be blinded by his action star-ness, by his promises, by that smarmy smile of his that actually makes him look like a demon, forgive me if I'm being rude.


They say "Respect should be gained, not earned." As of the moment, Erap has yet to earn even a sixteenth of my respect.


Suffice it to say that we don't need another to-do because of him. No, I will not be very happy with my fellow men if they choose Erap because then they will prove how easily influenced they are.


Erap's Vice President is Jejomar Binay who seems to be all right compared to his higher-up. They are from PMP part, and their senators are Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Rodolfo Plaza, Jose de Venecia III, Apolinario Lozada, JV Bautista, Bong Revilla, Miriam Defensor-Santiago.


He currently ties with Manny Villar in second place in survey rankings.
