John Glenn Cando - Why Mar Roxas for President in 2010?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 8:20 PM

I strongly support Manuel "Mar" Roxas II as the next President of the Philippines and as the Liberal Party nominee not because he is the scion of the wealthy Araneta family or just because he is the namesake of former President Manuel Roxas, it is because of his experience and his substance.

For me, experience matters in running a country. Not only popularity, experience should be counted in the upcoming elections because our country's future is at stake. Sen. Roxas' experience mixed with his deep substance is a formula of a candidate that will unite this deeply divided country. For a decade of divisive politics rooted in this generation of Filipinos, we are looking for a new kind of politician --- a once in a lifetime candidate that will give us hope and a new, the right direction for our country. He is a new breed of politician --- far beyond the dark age of Erap-Gloria politics of today and the past.

Substance matters because he is not only experienced but he has the charisma of uniting and moving our country forward. For him, having received the largest electoral mandate for any Filipino politician is not only a mandate based on popularity but a mandate of trust he earned in serving the common Filipino.

I am thrilled to throw my support as early as now to a candidate that will run on his political principle and ideology not based on his celebrity stature. This upcoming election will be a make or break for our dear country, the Philippines, so I encourage all Filipinos to rally behind a once in a lifetime candidate that will bring change and unite our divided nation.

I am John Glenn Cando, a Filipino political science student from the University of Hawaii, USA, and I am supporting Mar Roxas as the next President of the Philippines.
