Donald Trump for US President?

I am currently watching CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight  and I just caught Donald Trump say “I am tempted to run“.

Binay Wins the Vice-Presidency

The package is now complete. The “Yellow Forces” win. We will have another Aquino presidency… with the same kind of governance?
If, and it is most likely, Binay will be given a free hand on the local government units, Mar Roxas, Chiz Escudero and others aspiring for the presidency in 2016 will have to kiss the [...]

2010 Philippine Election

Will Noynoy Aquino get a landslide win? I hope not!
Will Manny Villar disappoint Aquino’s camp? I hope he will.
Will Gibo surprise everyone and top the race? Here’s hoping he will.
Will Dick Gordon even have the slightest chance to get ahead of the race? A glimmer of hope somewhere, please.

“Naka-green ka” [...]
