A sea change in Philippine politics?

Indeed, the announcement of the Aquino-Roxas is as anti-climatic as these pronouncements can be. Yet, don’t let that dampen the fact that we have one really, really formidable team here. I wish them well in their campaign. I am inclined to support them, but I’m not writing platitudes and treatises yet. In due time.

This story caught my attention though — Anti-graft exec resigns to support LP tandem. This is really something else. There is no doubt that there is so much at stake in this election, and seeing someone walk away from a relatively secure lot in life to gamble all tells me a lot about this team.

Vis-a-vis traditional politicians such as Manny Villar and Gilbert Teodoro who proclaim that they don’t need to be popular as long as they get the vote of “the people that matter” and the support of governors and congressmen. We’re the ones voting, they know that, but apparently they don’t need us.

Pardon this quick comment. Will write more soon.
