It was once perceived as the strongest and toughest threat to all political parties as the midnight romance of the biggest administration party’s political allies coalesced in a hurry. They boasted of unparallel cohesion, political and financial machinery and of course winning the presidential derby with Gilbert “Gibo†Teodoro as their standard-bearer.
But as quick as it merged, is also its quick disintegration with cracks becoming more and more visible to the public eye.
Where has all the political money has gone? Where is the massive political war chest? All these claims of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD have become weightless as helium and a war chest only full of dusts and mites.
And defections of even their strongest allies and political patrons to join Villar’s bandwagon are only confirming the propagandists’ campaign of a “Villaroyoâ€.
Gibo Teodoro is left out in the cold and seemingly has been destined to lose the race as soon as he was chosen as the standard-bearer, as the highest leaders of Lakas-Kampi-CMD particularly the Arroyo couple are rooting for another candidate.
As they say, if there is a will, there is way; and not even the most cunning of Lakas-Kampi’s political operators shows any zeal and jest of making Gibo win a very tough race and the only best way for individual political survival is to jump ship and leave their comrade fighting a personal political battle.
Poor Gibo Teodoro; waging a political campaign of Walang-LAKAS, Walang-KaKAMPI.
Gibo said it right when interviewed about the defections, that politicians who do not have a word of honor reveals their bad character, and politicians with bad character should never be voted into public positions.
Maybe, if Gibo runs as an independent, leaves his non-sense political party and wags off the venom of the Arroyo administration anointed on his head, he may easily become one of best choice between Aquino and Villar who had epitomized the art of political mudslinging and black propaganda on their quest for the top spot.
What is your thought on how the political campaign of Gibo Teodoro is running with all the defections and perceived lack of support to his candidacy of his party?
Gibo sounds brilliant. And he’s young. Maybe he needs to keep himself in the public eye for the next presidential election – in case he loses in his bid for the presidency.
And learn to take on a more fascinating persona to capture the imagination of the people.
Like learning how to swim in a sea of trash?
Or cultivate a fascinating personal quirk or two. Surely an occasional glimpse of Topak will not kill your aspiration. Look at Noynoy now.
Or perhaps ditch the brilliance for cunning. Gloria Arroyo’s cunning is simply topnotch, isn’t it?
He is a very promising man, could be a good leader of this country after all. But being intelligent that he is, he is not fond of the romancing the public opinion and affection by using celebrities and as you said, making PR campaigns like swimming on a sea of trash.
Gloria? Ah, if there is even a more that could be more superlative than super cunning, then that is word that would best describe our “cute” president.

I have to agree with you Elmot. If he had run independently, without bearing the shadows of the Arroyo Administration, he might be leaping high on surveys.
Practically, my reason of not casting my vote for him is the mere fact that he is the ‘bet’ of the Arroyo administration.
Though he is still denying that the shadow if not the curse of running under GMA is the one that really pulls him down, things are becoming so obvious in his party that he is destined to lose the race.

Gibo, in part, is also to blame. He refused to acknowledge the truth that being on GMA’s side is being on the loosing side. His loyalty to GMA and her Frankenstein coalition will lead to nothing but political misfortune.
These are the reasons why I sometimes question his “brilliance and intelligence” for he simple went against the prevailing common sense.
Then again, you can be intelligent, brilliant and promising, but having no common sense is all that matters.

gibo? well he’s young and intelligent I agree . He has the capability of running the Philippine government.but the problem is, is he going to run this government withou it the influence of his political friends or is he strong enough to turn his back to those anay around him to do the necessary things for the betterment of this country. god please help us . that’s the phrase that I always whisper every time I saw candidates making promises in front of my fellow filipinos. pls. let us be wise enough to choose the correct one ,not the right one.lagi tayong nagkakamali sa tingin nating tama. dapat e ung tama na ang ating iboto. kawawa naman tayo un na lang ang isipin natin .
This political marriage was doomed to fail from the very beginning. He was a virtual outsider having come from NPC. He was too blinded by ambition that he forgot that 6/10 Filipinos would not vote for the admin’s candidate. That is the main thorn on his side, the proverbial kiss of death. True, he is smart and all but he hasn’t really proven anything yet. Magaling lang magsalita. And now he cannot even give direction to his own party. Galing at talino? Asan?
I must agree with that one; that his smarts has been clouded by his trust and faithfulness to his party and patron. But the odd thing is that despite his faithfulness to his party and his patron, they had deserted him and had not supported him.
Poor man.
