Why we’re for Mar

It’s always just been me and two of my classmates who’ve been interested about politics, the upcoming elections and society, in general. It’s pleasantly surprising that, in the past few weeks, this has changed. From talking about the smallest of things, conversations with everybody else have gone deeper, wider. I think that this can be thankfully attributed to the dynamic promotion by the different media outfits and the emphasis, or should I say “pressure”, on us youths to be active participants in the upcoming elections because we make up 40% of the electorate.

The first thing on the conversations obviously was who to vote for president and vice-president. My classmates and myself are, to put it mildly, thrilled because it’s the first time that we’ll be exercising our right to vote. We’ve weighed the pros and cons of voting for the aspirants. But to this day, in so far as the best presidential candidate is, we’ve ended up with different choices.

We are, however, in agreement one thing. Had Sen. Mar Roxas not given up his bid for the presidency, deciding on who to put our trust on to lead this country in 2010 would have been much, much easier. He’s perfect for the position.

Having a good political background, coming from a respectable family (being born to an affluent family is an advantage for us since it means he won’t need to take money illegally), a young blood with a long list of bills passed from health (cheaper medicines) and economics (call centers) to labor (tax exemption for minimum wage earners) and education (the Roxas law). Being students, the last item makes Senator Roxas the “man” for us. And more importantly, he has not broken the trust of those 20 million voters who elected him to the Senate. He has proven that he can sacrifice personal ambition for the unity of the country.

Because of these factors, our votes for vice-president in 2010 are guaranteed for him and we’ll just have to wait another six years to see Mar Roxas leading this nation to greater heights.

    This is getting old! I thought Mar is supporting NOYNOY.

    To even allow this posts in your official website, just says a lot.
    Now I better rethink of my vote for you (THE only reason i am supporting you because of NONOY)

  • Juan de la Cruz

    I agree with NOe. I can't believe Mar allowed this to be posted in his official site. I would also rethink who to vote for vice president. Parang si Korina, atat na atat maging first lady.

  • Allana Bautista

    I wrote the article, and @noe, I will vote for Noynoy, all I am saying is if he did not give up his presidential bid, I will not think twice on voting for Mar. Though I will be honest to you, me and my classmates do not share the same opinion.

    2010 Political Game Play for the Year of the Split Tiger

    Philippine elections are particularly interesting to observe compared to other countries' elections because the five fundamental dynamic elements are usually present. For those familiar with Feng Shui and psychology, its game cards are easy to see:

    Unlike the two-party American “gay” system, and the one-party Chinese “autistic” system, the multi-party Filipino “schizophrenic” system shows the full spectrum of the Five Elements (Wu Xing), like the female mind. The Philippines can be compared to a Black Widow spider or a Praying Mantis that bites off the head of its mate after sex and eats it to nourish her children. So the female often loves the bisexual because “he” is often willing to serve “his” head on a silver platter, like a suicide bomber, leading the family like the Headless Horseman. The true male considers it to be crazy, stays away and develops “autism.” Thus, the Philippines will often search for a “bisexual” leader, unlike Chinese President Hu Jintao who is an “autistic” engineer.

    However, in this year's election, the “bisexual” vote is split between Erap and Villar, which allows a male “autistic” candidate like Noynoy to increase his chances of winning. The inner male voice of the female also thinks about stability and trustworthiness, and unfortunately, the bisexual is often unreliable and dishonest because “his” head offering might be a magical box trick, mimicking the Wizard of Oz. So sometimes she picks the nerd over the romantic lover when she feels like going straight. But she can be split about the numerous inner voices that silently speak to her, so she may become indecisive, develop a “split mind” or become “schizophrenic.”

    It is not only the female who has the five basic gender minds or voices within her conscience. All five genders have these five elements in their conscience or minds. And even all the “races” have the characteristics or traits of all five genders. In other words, there are five gender breeds (i.e. Yellows, Small Browns, Blacks, Whites and Big Browns) which correspond to the five genders. And within each “race,” there are five actual genders. Of course, within each gender, there are five gender minds. These all come in different degrees with an infinite number of combinations, which makes each individual unique yet similar using five-element organization.

    In the end, people will decide on everything that they do based on their gender minds, gender and gender breed. They will think of the needs of the multiple genders within themselves and act on these needs. As Freud believes, everything is motivated by sex.

    They will all desire and avoid relationships with each other, following the “harmony” and “conflict” lines or game “rules” of the five-pointed star or Pentacle of Kung-Fu Tzu (Confucius), which looks like a Filipino Christmas parol, originally patterned after Chinese or Japanese paper lanterns. Each gender sits on one of the tips of the star, and both the star and the circle around it show how the genders love, hate, help, poison and kill each other.

    The game guidelines though are broad and dynamic, as harmony can produce conflict (or vice-versa), or as “good” sheep can become “evil” goats (or vice-versa). Consequently, the Chinese script for the word “crisis” and “opportunity” is exactly the same. Similarly, the words “goat” and “sheep” have the same Chinese pictogram.

    This dynamic game interplay of yin and yang can be described in the Wu Xing ecology model, where the amount, perspective and timing or circumstance of the Elements are significant. Water, for instance, nourishes trees (Wood), but too much Water or flooding will rot and destroy Wood just as males are nourished by females but their continuous presence may irritate or annoy them. However, Earth absorbs the excess Water, just as lesbians court females. Eventually, if the female is influenced, she becomes bisexual as Earth and Water concentrate to produce mineral resources (“Metal”). Metal may chop down trees, but if metal is used carefully, it can craft wood to fine furniture just as Shaolin monks learned mental discipline and the practical use of martial arts from Buddhist and Hindu Indians. Water may also extinguish fire, but in small amounts, water simply relaxes the fire, just as females may neutralize fiery gays in their social presence, or just like clergymen baptizing militants in Living Water. A wildfire though may destroy forests, just like gays sodomizing males, but mild atmosphere-filtered sunshine is beneficial to trees, just as Asian men may sport fashionable neckties and body-fit Western shirts, tucked into European business pants that show the contour of their buttocks to other men, who eventually become customers or business partners.

    Thus, all presidential candidates will roughly follow this common political symbol or pattern in the election game. And at the end of the day, whatever the election results may be, people will be able to roughly see a statistical supercollider “x-ray” of the Philippines' state of mind or mental health, which may enable future leaders to heal the world and make it a “better” place.

    People will learn. From the “male,” they learn how to think. From the “female,” they learn the “divine” nature of the five voices. From the “lesbian,” they become “down to earth.” From the gay, they dream big. And from the “bisexual,” they learn self-sacrifice and love. So let the games begin!

    What happened with Mar? Not ‘yellow’ enough! “If you asked Binay, he'd say he was with Cory… Mar never attracted the core constituency that was for Noynoy. By the time Noynoy spoke about it, the trend had been established,”

    “Mar never fully embraced the Aquino mystique.” It may be “mababaw (shallow),” Casiple conceded, but one sign was that “he insisted on wearing a blue shirt in every public appearance.”
