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 [...]

I hope Mar Roxas wins. He can provide balance and professionalism to Noynoy Aquino whose ascent to the presidency was maneuvered by the powerful emotional appeal based on his widely-perceived goodness just because he is an Aquino.

I love her! I once read that she was the real organizer in Bill Clinton’s rise to political power. But, of course, Bill Clinton has the charisma. They are the epitome of a power couple. But, watch this: Even this highly-driven woman needs to struggle out of her husband’s shadow.
