Who do you think is the best candidate to lead the Senate in the 15th Congress of the Philippines?

Question

The race for the Senate Presidency in the 15th Congress of the Philippines seems to be a toss-up between Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan of the Liberal Party and Senator Manuel "Manny" Villar Jr. of the Nacionalista Party.

A senator needs at least 13 votes or the majority of the 24-member chamber to secure teh Senate Presidency. Pangilinan appealed to his fellow senators who have yet to decide to decide in favor of unity and moving the nation forward while Senator Vicente "Tito" Sotto III, who said he will not support Senator Pangilinan, explained that if "Malacanang is yellow, maybe the other branch of government can be green."

Who do you think is the best candidate to lead the Senate in the 15th Congress and why do you think this person should be Senate President? Share your views now.

Answer 1

In my opinion I think Senator Kiko Pangilinan deserves to be the next Senate President. He is a man with dignity with great leadership. It doesn't matter if he is close to the President because I know that Sen. Kiko has its own principles, he is the person who can not be deceived by others. He stands on what he knows what is right and best to our country. Villar was once a senate president but what have he done........Go go go go for Sen. Kiko! God Bless we're praying that you will be the nex

t senate president.

Answer 2

Kiko Pangilinan. They are saying that the senate should be an independent body and the next senate president should not be attached to the executive department. However, let us be reminded that the Senate is part of the the branch of the government which is the legislative, which the House of Representative is also a part. The power of the either House (Senate or Representative for that matter) is not dependent or in the Senate President or Speaker of the House. It is the Senate itself or House of Representative as a whole. In my humble opinion, the selection of the of the leader of both house is a political action and Kiko Pangilinan, being the bet of the Liberal Party is the best Choice to lead the Senate. Those who will lose will become the New Opposition or the Fiscalizer. This is the best image of a Congress in a democratic country. As I have seen for the past years, the Senate is not functioning well because there is no well defined Opposition. There is a less problem if Kiko will lead the Senate. It will be a bigger problem if an Opposition lead the Senate.

Answer 3

Senator Kiko Pangilinan

Answer 4

Manny Villar will do. Kiko Pangilinan will be a good senate leader but his party affiliation may hurt an independent senate. We cannot say that he will be an individual himself, only him and time knows that. But an opposition upper chamber will also bring much check and balance to our democracy. If Pangilinan will give unity to the divided senate, why not Villar, he has been there, done the work and so far it good.

Answer 5

In fairness to Sen. Pangilinan,He has what it takes to be a Senate President.Clean Track Records,Integrity and Educational background. However, we all know that the Senate has been always INDEPENDENT from the Executive Branch ever since.Since he is currently aligned with P-Noy politically it gives a doubt to many that it won't be an Independent Senate anymore if he will be elected as Senate President.As far as I remember Sen. Manny Villar is an independent minded Senator.He once lead the Senate and he has the capacity of maintaining the Senate being an Independent body.So it would be proper if he will be elected once more

Answer 6

My choice is Angara. He has the experience and qualifications. I agree with him that the Senate should be an independent institution. Sadly, he's not one of the contenders.



Kiko Pangilinan has not proven anything at the Senate. What bills did he author in the last Congress? May be too few, and these are not important bills. I hardly heard anything about him, except that he is the wife of the megastar.



Although I have doubts about Manny Villar, but I believe he could make the Senate an independent institution and therefore could bring balance at the four branches of government. My doubts for him do not outweigh the significance of having an independent Senate.



Let's face it. The claim of Pangilinan to unite behind Pnoy by electing an administration-sponsored candidate at the Senate is a trap. Balance is very important. Balance should not be viewed as being obstructionist, a hindrance to progress that Pnoy is promising to the people. There's more evil if we lose that balance.

Answer 7

Sen Kiko Pangilinan

Answer 8

I will go for manny villar.. he did not stay long as senate president before because of so many accusations against him which were not even proven.. so lets give him a chance this time to prove himself as senate president.. i have nothing against kiko pangilinan but he can have his time as senate president after manny villar is done.. anyway, this is the remaining term of mr. villar so just give him this time.. mr. pangilinan will sit after.. besides, it is good that the president of the philippines and the senate president should not come from the same party to avoid the perception that the legislative and the executive are in connivance which are supposed to be different branches of the philippine government.. let the senate presidency and the executive head be independent even in party affiliation...

Answer 9

Manny Villar. He definitely got all the ability and talent to lead the senate. Pangilinan haven't prove his worth to be the senate president. What have he done so far? Nothing. Just a celebrity hubby. Yes to Villar; NO to Pangilinan.

Answer 10

Kiko Pangilinan

Answer 11

For me i would say Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan. I am not agree with Sen. Tito Sotto's view of having a new color for other branch of government. Sorry po, but I guess I'm entitled to my own opinion. The reason I'd say that is because this will only be the start of a new fiasco in the government. They wont be able to fulfill their jobs/responsibilities to the people as the senate (elected government officials) because their goal only is to put the Aquino (the recent government) down. This wont do any good for our country. We should move forward not the other way around. We should start helping our government for the good of everybody not only for ourselves. GOD BLESS us all

Answer 12

Definitely Senator Kiko Pangilinan :)

Answer 13

I would go for Sen. Manny Villar if the choice is limited between him and Sen. Kiko Pangilinan. I remember reading an article in Yahoo that Kris was lobbying for Sen. Kiko to be the next Senate President, and those who would vote for Kiko would get important committee chairmanships. Deny, deny, deny... whatever! Hindi pa man ay may niluluto na ang LP in the Senate. Kaya, why should I vote for Sen. Kiko? Unless of course I would be promised the chairmanship on Appropriations hehehe... what about it, Sen. Manny Villar? Puwede...

Answer 14

Senator Francis Pangilinan is the best Senate President.

Answer 15

Its neither Pangilinan nor Villar. Pangilinan belongs to the same party as the President which means that the check and balance principle will not work well, while Villar it is his track record which means that the senate might backslide to the old scenario.

Answer 16

I go for Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan because he is credible and capable to be the next Senate President. A good support for President Aquino in leading our nation to move forward.

Answer 17

If I have to choose none of the two,Villar and Pangilinan,I rather go for Sen.Enrile same as before,he has the leadership qualities in the senate,more mature,most experience,most senior,and have much political will,and to all Government Officials,Workers,Think Our Country,Think the Filipino,Please...Work,Do Your Responsibilities With HONESTY and DEDICATION.God Bless The Philippines.

Answer 18

Senator Manny Villar

Answer 19

Francis Pangilinan should be given a chance. He has no record of corruption. Villar has not resolved the issues raised against him and may use the senate presidency to white-wash those issues. Enrile despite his age and experience has only demonstrated that he is a traditional politician who thinks of his personal interest first and foremost

Answer 20

Villar used the Senate presidency for personal gain.

Pangilinan is a political butterfly.

Santiago is dramatics and hot air.

Angara is an opportunist.

Revilla is all posturing, and Lapid is a clown.

The Cayetanos can be bought and Escudero is an empty balloon.

Honasan is an adventurist and Trillanes is in jail.

Lacson is a fugitive, and Legarda is unbelievable.

Guingona and Marcos are neophytes.

Sotto and Zubiri are unknown quantities.

Arroyo is a joker.

That leaves us Enrile, Drilon and Osmena.

Enrile is good, Drilon would be better.

'But Osmena would be best.

If only Senate presidents are elected by secret balloting--

Just like the Pope of Rome.

Answer 21

I preferred Sen. Francis Pangilinan a former independent candidate rather than Mr. Villar. Hope that Sen. Pangilinan will be elected as SP. Good luck Sen. Pagilinan wish you a good luck.

Answer 22

Hands down! nobody! nobody! But Senator Lito " Leon Guerero" Lapid!



I am very serious and not making fun of the good senator. You may have overlooked the facts that the hip-shooting actor/senator has the most extensive experience in the field of local government. Being a former governor of pampanga is an edge. Yes, the senate is a legislative body and its task is to make laws. However, my argument is how good is a law if you cannot implement it. The position of a senate president, really, is supposed to administer the flow of ideas and implement quality control while making laws is only secondary. I believed that senator Lapid has the brilliant capacity of choosing which senate bills are doable or not. Let us also not forget that every senate bills passed into laws will always have an effect on the "masa". Nobody from the current crop of senators who understands the "masa" well enough but him.

Answer 23

I do believe Manny Villar can be a very good Senate President because of his proven track record in the past congress and the fact that he acted swiftly on matters related to legislature... while Mr. Pangilinan is noted for his "NOTED" stand in one senate inquiry....

Answer 24

I think Senator Kiko Pangilinan will be the best to be Senate President. Credibility and capability wise, no more questions to ask.

Answer 25

Pangilinan

Answer 26

In my own opinion.. Kiko is also the right person to lead the senate but he belong to the same party with the president....in order to have a check and balance especially in the legislative i have to go to Sen Villar as the lower house is also headed by Rep. Belmonte of the Liberal Patry.

Answer 27

Senators are elected by the people. Senator Villar was elected as Senator, and then was elected once by members of the senate to become Senate President. He failed in his leadership and was ejected. How come some senators still nominated him? Still politicking? Villar must have delicadeza this time if he really wants to clear his name with the C-5 which is still I think unresolved issue. Senator Kiko P would be my best pick this time. Bigyan naman natin nang chance ang pagbabago na gusto at hinahangad ng taong bayan.

Answer 28

i believe that Kiko Pangilinan will be the best to lead the senate.Aside from his track records as good senator and the major committees which he had handled well without any reports of abuse and corruption,he has the edge over the other candidate for senate presidency. Ang maganda pa nito nasa linya siya ng admisnistrasyon kaya whatever programs and projects that the aquino government want to implement will be supported by the senate..Iwasan na kasi natin ung paninira ng paninira sa administrasyon para maisulong natin ang TUNAY NA PAGBABAGO.

Answer 29

People who cares for a change their choice would be Kiko Pangilinan. Let's give him a try. Besides, the good fellow senators are experts in coup d' etat, If expectations goes otherwise.

Answer 30

it might take a constitutional modification that's plenty too intense a bar with the rustic being so polarized terrific suited now ! it might never pass ! U.S. shape - Article 5 Article 5 - modification The Congress, each and every time 2 thirds of the two properties shall deem it mandatory, shall recommend Amendments to this shape, or, on the utility of the Legislatures of two thirds of distinctive States, shall call a prepare for featuring Amendments, which, in the two Case, would be valid to all Intents and purposes, as area of this shape, whilst ratified via the Legislatures of three fourths of distinctive States, or via Conventions in 3 fourths thereof, by way of fact the only or the different Mode of Ratification may be proposed via the Congress; presented that no modification which may be made previous to the 365 days 1000 8 hundred and eight shall in any way influence the 1st and fourth Clauses interior the 9th area of the 1st Article; and that no State, without its Consent, would be disadvantaged of its equivalent Suffrage interior the Senate.

Answer 31

Between the two i rather choose Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, last election Kiko wants to run for Vice Pres and because Mar gave up for Presidency nawalan ng papel si Sen. Kiko but still walang blitang nagalit sya or whatsoever so my vote goes to him.. =)

Answer 32

I don't agree with Pangilinan and Villar because they are both having political parties which will become bias if they will win. I would rather choose Sen. Francis Escudero because I think he will be neutral and will bring balance to the senate.. God bless Philippines..

Answer 33

I'll go for Sen. Pangilinan. Villar should answer first the allegations against him. to ensure an unbiased result, the head of the senate should not be the one being investigated.

Answer 34

Sen Manny Villar. The Senate should provide some sort of check and balance to the Exeutive branch of the government

Answer 35

I think the best candidate to lead the Senate is Senator Francis Pangilinan, why don`t we give him a chance to prove his ability to lead the Senate.

Answer 36

Its better to give a chance for the the new breed to lead the senate. Senator Villar has shown his performance and his existence in the senate has been tainted according to news reports. Kiko has a good tract record in the senate and one thing sure Ms Sharon will not tolerate misdeeds of her husband

Answer 37

new blood for the senate....im sure sen. kiko pangilinan shall be a good senate president considering his good track record a legislator in the past. Although, he has been attached to the current administration, lets give him the benefit of the doubt. who knows, we may see a, legislative and executive branch working smoothly for the people...

Answer 38

You people should know that the legislative body should be "opposing" to act as a check and balance to the government. Among the choices, Villar should lead being a man of HIS OWN. Kiko, like some leaders, just captializes on popular figures to get into politics.

Answer 39

The best Senate leader should be one that can stand up to the administration and not be a rubber stamp. Therefore, it is necessary that the Senate President should come from the opposing side of what the administration represent to offer a credible check and balance now that the House would be headed by an administration lackey.

Answer 40

Best bet is again Sen Villar.. for kiko pangilinan? it will be another NOTED Senate

Answer 41

Its Kiko Pangilinan for me.



He has over 21 years of civic and public service experience and he's still remained an active organizer of multi-sectoral groups fighting for the return of decency, competence, and accountability to national leadership.

Answer 42

It is but a consolation that only the senators themselves who will decide who is best to lead them as mandated by law because if the citizenry is involved Sen. Villar would never get a fair chance as what had happened to his presidential ambition. I believe he was a victim of a well orchestrated black propaganda from several fronts.A lot of people have already prejudged Sen. Villar, tarnishing his character and reputation, but before and even now that the election is over why are there still no FORMAL charges been filed in court against him? Has he been summoned to the Ombudsman or the Sandiganbayan? Did he get his chance to clear his name at the proper courts? A lot would have snickered that Sen. Villar had been given that chance at the Senate but because he refused with his own reason, many of you had already presumed his guilt. Is the Senate the proper venue to resolve the accusations around Sen. Villar? Those who had accused him before the elections should by now have filed the necessary charges..Sen. Enrile who was so sure of his accusations surely would have already filed the charges along with Escudero, Drilon etc. but nothing. What happened to the exposes of columnists Lito Banayo? now NFA Administrator, of William Esposo? now with the Palace Communications Group, of Winnie Monsod, Clavio, of Failon and ABS CBN exposes? Where are the formal charges filed by the so called concerned citizens? Maybe those who say negatively against Sen. Villar in this forum should file the first charges and compel Villar to defend his honor in the proper courts.

Answer 43

KIKO PANGILINAN.... compare with manny villar, villar has a BAD records interms of C-5 road extention wherein villar uses its influence to have a double insertion funds for the benefits of villar's property . . .

Answer 44

Basing on the Principle of Lesser Evil , I do prefer Kiko Pangilinan!!!!!

Answer 45

some characteristics the SP should have:

1) ay hindi basta bumabalimbing

2) may paninindigan sa kanyang prinsipyo

3) may magandang track record

4) well educated about the laws/constitution

5) uunahin ang interest nang nakararami kumpara sa sarili

6) may isang salita sa mga pangakong binitawan



top choices for the SP:

Francis Joseph G. Escudero, Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Juan Ponce Enrile, Vicente C. Sotto III, and Francis N. Pangilinan

Answer 46

The Senate President should not be in anyway connected to the administration in order to prove and protect its independence. We need a person who is competent and productive. We DON'T NEED a person who always have things "NOTED" but rather a person who could have things DONE!



Senator Manuel "Manny" Bamba Villar Jr. is simple the BEST CHOICE!

Answer 47

Certainly, im for Sen.Kiko. I dont understand why still vote for Sen Villar whose integrity has been tarnished with a lot of unquestionable scandals and until now its not been resolved. With due respect to the body of Senate, why they still vote for Villar just because they win a senate seat under his banner or there's something amiss about it. Sen Kiko is welll suited for the Senate Presidency considering his track record and the man has an integrity and leadership. Just keep asking... why Villar.... as we all know he is a man of having a questionable wealth and reputation...tsk tsk tsk... just asking...

Answer 48

Senator Kiko Pangilinan authored the bill absolving minors from criminal prosecution irregardless of circumstances. Because of him, the next generation of criminals are now on the streets with no regard to law and order. Sorry, but that was a lousy bill for a senator to sponsor. He did not bother to look at the consequence of this law. Anybody else except Kiko Pangilinan, for senate president.

Answer 49

Manny Villar

Answer 50

Its Kiko Pangilinan, nobody else. Senator Villar is arrogant - he ignored all hearings regarding his unresolved C-5 controversy - why give him the privilege of senate presidency? He's corrupt, a big loser - why entrust him the third highest position of the land? this tito sotto is also mayabang - nag gagaling galingan, bumalik na lang sya sa eat bulaga - dun lang sya nababagay. wala naman syang magandang track record sa senado, pweh!

Answer 51

I would prefer Sen. Francis pangilinan to be head of the Senate. He is God fearing and a family man. Go...go..go.. Francis for the Senate head.. God bless Philippines....

Answer 52

Kiko Pangilinan is the best candidate

Answer 53

NOTED!!! Senator Pangilinan,.

Answer 54

For me, Villar best fits the position because the senate and as well the President and the Congress should have unity.

Answer 55

Sen.Juan Ponce Enrile is a seasoned senator of all time. His vast experience in senate is outstanding. He is the man for the senate presidency. HIndi katulad ni Pangilinan na balimbing! Dati kay GMA siya ngayon kay Noynoy naman. Uusad pa rin naman ang senate kahit hindi siya ang senate president di ba?

Answer 56

Manny Villar for Senate President and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for House Speaker.....and with Corona as Chief Justice....the dawn of a Federal Parliamentary Republic is on the Horizon....Our Centralized form of Government does not work for us.....a Federal Form is more appropriate for our diverse cultural and geographical situation.....

Answer 57

For Me I will choose Senator Pangilinan, Because we already know what kind of a person Villar Is. isa siyang (TUSO)

Answer 58

Manny Villar

Answer 59

Manny Villar

Answer 60

Manny Villar

Answer 61

I'm for Kiko P. considering he ran as an independent senator during the last election. He is therefore not beholden to the current administration. Moreover he can work well with the new president coz their advocacy is the same. Pareho silang hindi corrupt and are against corruption. They are both respectable and dignified gentlemen.

Answer 62

Same Party does not mean no more room for honest and objective thinking among the honorable senators... Same party does not mean uniformity of opinion and conclusion...



Where does the idea comes from that to have independent senate, the speaker must not be in the same party or has no close ties with the president...

Answer 63

I'll go for Kiko Pangilinan. Let's try a new comer. I believed he will do better......Having a losing contender in the past presidential election may delay us in moving forward.

Answer 64

I think Kiko Pangilinin is deserving as Senate President.

Answer 65

I think the best canidate to lead the Senate is no other than Senator Pangilinan. Others have proven their capacity to lead but there is no such accomplishment.

Answer 66

Alan Keith stated that, "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen." By the very essence of the definition, I think it should be Villar, he already did it and he can do it again, the fact that Kiko can't win in senatorial race without his wife sharon, meaning he can't pursuade the voters, he can't lead!

Answer 67

Still Manny Villar. Experience and Management

Answer 68

according to Baby James - it's "bilyar!!!"



kidding aside, prior to the 2010 elections, The Senate enjoyed it's highest trust rating in its history under Villar presidency and then senate-president Villar himself as the most trusted public official followed by then-VP Noli de Castro (2008 SWS). Its only when Villar declared his intention to run for presidency that those scandals and accusations came forth (mudslinging, anyone?).

Answer 69

Since Kiko, is President Noy allies I think shoot kiko in presidency chair of senate. I believed Pres. nonoy to lead the people of the Philippines i think they have both good intension in the country they can swept easily passed the law through the senate.without any long argument.

Answer 70

If a person has integrity, it doesn't matter which party he's affiliated with. He'll do what is right.

If a person is corrupt, then that person should not be the Senate President. (He/She should not be in government at all!). Some people are assuming that a person from an opposing party will necessarily provide check and balance. That is a naive and stupid assumption. Corrupt people have hidden agendas; their motivation will not be to provide "check and balance" no matter what party they belong to. Think about it.

Answer 71

neither of the two since both have vested interests, Pangilinan to siddle up to Aquino, too pro Malacanang, and Villar to protect himself of the C5 repercussion, it should be some other else, Enrile, Angara or Arroyo perhaps

Answer 72

I don't know either of the candidates so I can't form an opinion. Besides what's going on in the Philippines should be left up to the citizens of the Philippines. All I know is I want Boxer and Feinstein out of the US Senate.

Answer 73

First, it doesn't matter who will be the next Senate President as long as all laws to be passed by the Senate chamber will be for the benefits of the "madlang people".



Second, the next Senate President should work hand in hand with the objectives of the President, KUNG WALANG CORRUPT, WALANG MAHIRAP & DITO NA TAYO SA TAMANG DAAN.



Third, the next Senate President should be a role model for all senators and lawmakers since He is the third highest position in our land.

Answer 74

I would prefer Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile. Tested. Experienced. Fair. And still looking good despite the age. Mabuhay po kayo Mr. Senate President!!!

Answer 75

Senator Kiko Pangilinan is the best in the position.,for being experience for more than many years at the Senate.,Okay naman yong parehong kulay basta ang lahat ay para sa sambahayang pilipino hindi sa pansariling kapakanan lang.alisin na yung ibat ibang kulay mas mabuti yung nagkakaisa ang lahat para sa ikauunlad ng ating mahal na Pilipinas.

Answer 76

it's should be senator kiko pangilinan of the liberal party because he and pres. noynoy are booth from liberal...and if the house, senate and the president are allies..so it is a good government..

Answer 77

We need young blood to lead an old institution that can revolutionize benefits through a changing management of the country. I go for Senator Francis Escudero.

Answer 78

I would prefer Frank Drilon or Juan Ponce Enrile. Both of them actually pushed through policies which greatly affected the lives of people. For example, Senator Enrile who pushed through the longer life for cellphone loads was a great help to me. Before, I had to spend 300 pesos just to maintain a regular load for the whole month, and I rarely use my phone except for emergency cases. Now, I only spent half of what I used to spend just to maintain the load needed by my cellphone. If you ask me, that's very economical. That maybe simple but a very great help for many Filipinos.

Answer 79

To Villar: Ambition (again??) is the last refuge of failure …and Anger always comes from frustrated expectations.

To Ka Johnny: We all knew that “Age is only a number…”kaya lang dapat pahinga ka na Manong Johnny”

To Kiko P: Oftentimes, POTENTIAL is better than EXPERIENCE. Go go go Kiko…

Answer 80

i guess sen kiko pangingilan is the best person in the said position.

because he doesn't have any bad records (corruption) in the government

he has the capacity to lead the senate of the country...



he need fresh blood in the senate... i believe that sen.kiko will be able to

do his errands as the senate president of the country.. God bless sen.kiko

Answer 81

Villar, capable to lead and initiate, not an observer in one corner. Issues comes with strong personality because of ability to be one's self. Senate is the government's balance of strong leadership as well as judicials independence to the executive branch.

Answer 82

we have experienced the leadership of manny villar in the senate. while there remain unresolved issues surrounding him, i guess its prudent to oft for kiko pangilinan. integrity wise i am sure that he will not compromise the welfare of the nation with his association with the present administration and i'm pretty sure also that PNOY will not tolerate it also.

Answer 83

The best si Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.. Sen. Villar needs to clean first the issues thrown against him. During the senate investigation about the issue (C-5),Sen. Villar did not gave clear answers to clean his name. It seems he is guilty.. Therefore, he is not fit for the senate presidency at the moment..

Answer 84

you are right neo n. villar would be the right choice. there has got to be a check and balance also. its not good to have leaders of two independent branches of government come from the same party. having only one color in government is monotonous and dull. it would be more interesting and harmonious if there is a blend in colors. white (enrile) should not even be considered. unity as kiko said with the same color is not genuine unity but short of monopoly and autocracy.

Answer 85

I don't want a Senate President who looks subservient or an adversary to the palace. I want an independent Senate, I will vote for Juan Ponce Enrile.

Answer 86

All our senators have good intentions in them. Maturity is however needed. Villar is better prepared than Kiko as of now .

Answer 87

The next Senate President should not come from the ruling party.

Answer 88

neither pangilinan or villar deseves the senate presidency,it should not be because of the color .we must concentrate or focus to the man who can deliver and can move our country forward,our country can not afford another mistake.to all the member of the senate ,please let us not waste time. we must act now because our country needs help from you badly.

Answer 89

juan ponce enrile he is on his last term, a legacy of greatness,he will do everything to make things right,,and he can command respect and stand face to face to any body,,,villar is good but have some issues to settle,pangilinan without the wife maybe he is not sitting there,,,,,

Answer 90

it's time for a change, the senate needs new blood and new face.

For me It's KIKO PANGILINAN as SENATE PRESIDENT!

Answer 91

The best Senate President is Trillanes. Mas maganda yung nakakulong para trabaho lang ng trabaho.

Answer 92

The Executive and Legislative should work smoothly in order to pursue government policies and agenda of the government. pag si villar, masyadong garapal ang batuhan nila ng putik ni PNOY last election. Titosen might be correct, to instill the check and balance between executive and legislative branch of govenment. Pero para sa akin, para maging effective ang executive at legislative branch in making and enforcing laws and regulations sa govenment, dapat ang president at senate president ay magkakampi.



kay kiko tayo.



Noted.

Answer 93

until such time that pangilinan or villar will have 13 votes, the best option, as a compromise, is my idol, Juan Ponce Enrile.

Answer 94

Kiko Pangilinan for me. It's better for PNoy "communicate" with somebody he knows and trusts.

Answer 95

I think Bong Revilla should lead the Senate since he is the most popular among the senators. He has the political maturity and intellectual capacity to become Senate president.

Answer 96

I am for Kiko. We have experienced in the past that there were still unresolved issues in the senate. Everything changes.....Change for the better.....Have a good governance.....We can have a win-win solution if we have Kiko and Pnoy. We have tried Kiko as a good legislator in the past......

Answer 97

Malaki ang tiwala ko sa bagong presidente. Sana suportahan din sya ng senate. Magkaisa sila at wag na maglagay ng Corrupt.



Kay Kiko ako!

Answer 98

If this is a multiple choice: None of the above would be the preference answer...None of the candidate are competent enough to lead as a leader of the senate...A leader of this country hasn't been born yet so lets all wait for the forthcoming of our savior...

Answer 99

I'll prefer an independent minded and 'cleaner' senator. So I would rather have either Sen. Joker Arroyo or the veteran Edgardo Angara.

Answer 100

Manny Villar is better to lead the senate house, as he is experience it's just the choice of my conscience. That's it. No more no less.

Answer 101

I would rather vote for a third party if there is. I don't want a senate which will become a rubber stamp of the executive. We should have a check and balance remember?

Answer 102

Senator Kiko Pangilinan syempre para mapabilis ang pagbabago at para mabawasan na ang grandstanding ng mga pulitiko. Kailangan na maging united tayong lahat para maayos na ang bayang Pilipinas

Answer 103

l will vote for senator Pangilinan, Good luck.

Answer 104

integrity, proven track record, independent (all earned by saying NOTED).... ikaw b nmn ang mag puro noted lang.. malamang they also will tag with that.. no issues attached.. (kumbaga sa elementarya, ung batang umupo, hinid uiimik, hindi ngpaparticipate masyado, hindi cya sumasama kay BADONG o kay GRACIA, malamang sa graduation sasabihin ng teacher, NOTED)wahehehe..may medal..



No, kidding aside, i dont think integrity alone or being independent can run the senate. yes, its a basic foudantion to be met but that alone cannot stand in itself. ask yourself, have you even tried lying for the benefir of the most? its a simple basic. sometimes you have to lie. sometimes you have to bent straight. sometimes you have to do that. for the benefit of most. (i said for the most, not for self).



everybody wants a clean government, yes. but there will never be. you yourseft even is unpredictable..thats human..its being different everyday..



kaya sa senate??gamble... dont be too safe...

face the two opposite so and start learning...



youll never know the difference of Jazz and hip hop if you want both dancers doing hip hop or jazz...



put villar, and let ther be fights..... by then, start learning.......

Yun eh pag naposition na nman sya sa gobyerno! Kung gusto talaga naten ang pagbabago? Pumili tayo ng bago, na malinis ang pangalan,hwag na yung mga luma!



KELANGAN NATEN NG BAGO PRA SA PAGBABAGO!

Answer 107

it's JPEnrile or frank Drilon are capable of leading the senate coz of their experienced, what makes MR. NOTED do if he will be elected, he can't get the respect of all the members of the upper chamber. IF it will happen there will always be a rigodon on session of the senate. people's money will suffer again coz of aweak leadership of MR. NOTED.

Answer 108

kiko pangilinan for is the best suited for the position new blood....and unity will come because he is from liberal party....

Answer 109

with no second thought..

i go for Sen Kiko Pangilinan..

Answer 110

KIKO. si Villar kasi, isinuka na nga ng bayan sa election, gagawin pang Senate prez??? si Enrile, ewan ko ba, di maalis kasi talaga sa isip ko na kakuntsaba sya ni marcos sa pagtatago ng mga bilyones. feeling ko, Enrile knows where the money is, so unless he talks on the Marcos' stolen loot, he will never get my confidence.

Answer 111

kiko pangilinan. Sawang-sawa na ako kay Villaroyo. . .

Answer 112

They are both good leaders but i will go to VILLAR - sa tingin ko kasi eh walang pinaghuhugutan ng matinding pagnanais na maglingkod as senate president si KIKO, the interest arose from nowhere - it seems meron lang nagdikta sa kanya or napressure lang xa ng partido. hindi pwede un dapat dun tayo sa malinaw ang paniniwala, sa consistent ang sinasabi at lahat ng desisyon at plano ay may pinag uugatang nakaraan. at yan si Manny Villar. hindi man xa ang naluklok sa Malacanang, tutok pa rin xa sa kaya nyang pumunuan at un ang SENADO...

Answer 116

well, it seems that manong johnny don't have the numbers, so i will vote for kiko pangilinan.. wag na si villar, nasubukan na sya.. ibigay naman sa iba..

Answer 117

i think senator pangilinan is better than senator villar. he hides nothing at wala syang intensyong yumaman.. hindi rin sya nang iimpluwensya at naiimpluwensyahan. in short may integrity.. ayaw nyo ba kay binoy? kung ayaw nyo ng pagbabago.. wag nyo iboto si sen pangilinan..

Answer 118

i want kiko pangilinan to be the next senate president., pls i dont want villar because we know of his motive why he wants to become the senate president just to destroy the aquino administration due to his frustrations of becoming a president... for unity and obtain the true clean and honest aquino administration let us help pray of kiko pangilinan won in the senate as president...

Answer 119

The Best One is Kiko Pangilinan with the same party OF THE PRESIDENT THUS THE PROJECTS TOWARDS PROGRESS WILL NOT BE BLOCKED BY THE OPPOSITION AS THE ATTITUDE OF" crab mentality" will not DETER THE GOOD INTENTION OF THE NEW ADMINISTRATION FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF OUR ECONOMY AND OUR LIVES.

WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS CRAB MENTALITY BY THE OPPOSING PARTY.

WE HAD ENOUGH OF SELFISH CRAB MENTALITY IN OUR GOVERNMENT, WHAT WE ARE AFTER NOW IS THE GO GO GO FORWARD FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Answer 120

villar vs pangilinan...hello pinag-iisipan pa ba yan...of course pangilinan na noh....Dun tayo sa tamang daan. "KUNG WALANG CORRUPT, WALANG MAHIRAP." Dapat iisa ang layunin ng Senate President at ni PNOY.

Answer 121

I think Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago could be a good alternative. She has proven that her alignment are more on issues rather than party affiliation.

Answer 122

am sure that manny villar is still the best man to lead the senate

Answer 123

Lito Lapid

Answer 124

Answer 126

Enrile pa rin subok nang happy tayo. Si Kiko puro noted sasabihin niya.

Answer 127

the older people should move out and give the young ones a go.

if your 65 think about retiring from politics the brain starts to stop function at 60 beleave me i know

i am 73 i retired at 54 and let the young ones take my place word from a aussie.

Answer 128

when i voted for my president last May 2010 i needed the "CHANGE". Change in views, in beliefs, in power handling, a person with dignity and courage to fight for us Filipinos and i wanted someone who is GOD fearing above all. All of the above is NOYNOY. With the changes he is planning for our country he needs someone who will help him put everything in its right perspective and that would be an LP senate president. KIKO!!!

Answer 129

Answer 134

Sen. Chiz EscuderO

Answer 135

I am for sen. kiko for senate president, a man of integrity and honesty.

Answer 136

I think all people who accused Sen. Villar of "villarroyo" owes him a lot. For me... It's Sen. Manny Villar!

Answer 137

Francis Pangilinan.senate should try a new one.hindi pagiging balimbing ang maging ok ang relasyon sa out-going at in-coming pres.it's just to show na kahit kanino,he is willing to work with.yan ang unity na matatawag

Answer 138

ei dura...pretty insight huh?! i agree w/ Tito Sen. .........'think would be better for an outsider to take the inside out sometimes...really hard to be in the gov't., sometimes doing the right thing is not doing the right thing because its not the mind that dictates u on what to do more often its the situation that drives u....

Answer 139

I still want manong johnny to lead the senate..being a senior legislator and impartial..

Answer 140

i vote for manny villar he is the man for that position,kiko not this time please...dont use the impluence of our president...

Answer 141

i don't like pangilinan. he will do anything just to advance his personal cause, to the detriment of the country.

Answer 142

unfortunately common pinoy laymen like me , are deprived of such choice. the reasons , we have voted our representatives at the higher house, they have their own agenda. the chosen one shall be determined by the tyranny of numbers.perhaps its time to amend the constitution via a convention, but we should exclude ex presidents for the position of prime minister, so we can avoid another gloria.its time to go for a parliamentarian form of goverment. i trust P noy can do that it would be his future legacy.

Answer 143

For me? It's Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile pa rin!

Answer 144

sen. kiko pangilinan

Answer 145

Senator Enrile should be the Senate President.....he is the most senior and he is not afraid of anyone....

Answer 146

to ensure check and balance, the senate president should be someone who is not beholden to the president.. the independence of the senate should remain.. it should be sen manny villar over sen pangilinan..

Answer 147

in my opinion, i think sen. enrile is the guy who should lead the senate due to his experience and ability to lead the senate as the past senate pres.

Answer 148

if I am one of those senators,id rather retain Sen.Juan Ponce Enrile.Let us not forget what MR. NOTED did to the senate inquiry re the result of 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.Binalewala nya ang lahat ng mga reklamo ng mga abogado at mga tao ni FPJ.kc ngpapogi cya ke GLORIA,plibhasa alm nya n matatalo cya ngayun kya sumama na lng cya ke NOYNOY-ROXAS.manggagamit cya di ba?ul;timo nga bilas nya ,walang bilib sa KANYA.tungkol naman ke villar, me bahid dn nga,ayon na rin sa mga kasama nyang senador.kya dapat si enrile na lng muna.mga personal ko lng namang kuro kuro ito.akin lng at walang basehan.

Answer 149

Answer 163

di ko alam kung bakit ganun na lang ang pag-iisip ni sotto, dati gustung gusto ko sya pero ngayon parang pumupurol na ang utak nya. hindi ba napakaganda kung ang dalawang leader e galing sa isang party? kung maglalagay ka ng dalawang tao upang manguna sa ating bansa dapat ay yung pareho ang pananaw pareho ang adhikain. imagine kung ilalagay mo ang dalawang tao na kontra sa isat-isa, ano na ang mangyayari sa hinaharap. di ko alam kung bakit binoboto ng mga tao ang mga katulad ni sotto, kung sabagay magagaling lang naman yang mga yan pag araw ng election, puro mga pangako, mga nangangako ng katahimikan, e sila mismo ang nagpapagulo sa sambayanan.

Answer 164

kiko, of course. para tuloy tuloy na ang pagbabago. labanan ang corrupt.

manny, hindi na. nagsalita na ang taong bayan. gusto ang pagbabago. tapos na ang villaroyo style. - roy E

Answer 173

SENATOR MANNY VILLAR

Answer 174

HINDI KO GUSTO SI KIKO... SIYA NG ISA SA MGA AUTHOR NG BILL NG JUVENILE DELINQUINCY LAW KUNG SAAN ANG MGA KABATAANG KRIMINAL AY LALONG DUMAMI AT PATULOY NA GINAGAMIT NG MGA SINDIKATO SA KADAHILANANG HINDI SILA PWEDENG KASUHAN DAHIL MENOR DE EDAD..... ANG MGA PASAWAY SA KALSADANG MENOR DE EDAD AY PINABABAYAAN N LaNG NG MGA AUTORIDAD SA KADAHILANANG HINDI SILA PWEDENG IKULONG AT KASUHAN...

NOON... INIISIP KO: "ANO KAYA KUNG MAY ILANG KABATAAN NA GUMAWA NG KALOKOHAN SA PAMILYA NI KiKO? ANO KAYA GAGAWIN NYA? HALIMBAWA: kung may anak siyang babae at na rape ng menor de edad, patatawarin kaya niya? ninakawan siya gamit ang mga kabataan ng sindikato? o kaya na isnats gamit niya habang siya'y naglalakad???



si pia na lang o kaya si legarda o kahit sinong senadora para maiba naman!

ok pa rin si villar, marami nga lang akusasyon kahit hindi pa napapatunayan sa husgado.

Sa Pilipinas, mahirap pag magkaalyado ang namumuno ng bawat sangay ng gobyerno (legislative, judiciary at executive).

Answer 175

i think its manny villar..he did a great job before and i know he will do better.its only his critics who destroyed his personality but yet they cant prove their accusations..
