Gibo proclaimed "Son of Tondo"

I was amazed by the support expressed by atleast ten thousand residents/members of the urban poor sector in Parola, Tondo, to administration candidate Gibo Teodoro in his bid for the country's presidency. Well, foremost, I thought presidential candidate Manny Villa have sealed the support and sympathy of the urban poor as Villar championed them and claimed to be one of them in his billion-pesos worth political ads. Second, I thought that Noynoy Aquino, having topped the surveys, would either be the first or second preference of the people.

It appears that in out millions of voters, there is what we called "silent majority" who are tired of our traditional politician's "cocky fights" in our political arena. They were neither reached nor counted by the survey teams who in the first place knew who to put as "leading" in their surveys.

If our less fortunate brothers in Tondo have made their choice and supported Gibo despite the manipulations of the survey and considering that compared to the leading presidentiables, Gibo have much lesser time slots in primetime TV and radio programs, then this is a clear indication that Filipinos now refused manipulations and fanaticism and stood for they knew what's good for them and to the country.

These "silent majority" or "silent voters" from Tondo represents a small portion of the "silent voters" of the country. We know that Gibo is the pet of the youth, intellectuals and professionals of this country. Except of course those elites who have pets themselves maybe just to show to the world that they are rich and powerful enough to seat a Philippine President. But I guess the mass have chosen. Im not surprised if even when slapped by surveys, Gibo will win landslide in this election.
