If Fernando Poe, Jr. (a.k.a. FPJ or Da King) runs for President on 2004, I'll slit my throat with a beautiful sharp tanto (knife). I'd rather die than see and experience the catastrophe of the Philippines sinking into the Pacific Ocean.
Filipinos are morons and therefore FPJ will win. Morons will vote their fellow morons and that's how the world works.
How dare I accuse FPJ of being a moron? You see, Inday, if he has any sense at all, he won't run in the Presidential elections in the first place. If he's not a moronic breed of walking testosterone, he'll be smart enough to know that his low waist pants and swagger is not going to help the deplorable state our country is in. Panday couldn't stop the kidnappers and the Abu Sayyaf. If FPJ is not a brainless git as you insist, he'll think twice about messing around with the likes of Angara and Lacson.
The masa, which is 70% of the population, is not entirely to blame for this because they lack the education that would enable them to think rationally when it comes to politics. It's not their fault that opportunities such as education are not available to them, even at arm's length. Another point is that when one is hungry and his stomach has been empty for quite some time, the brain is not capable of functioning well, therefore, it cannot make any wise decision other than feeding itself. But the glaring reason why the masa would surely vote for FPJ is that they see him as an accessible being, invincible underdog, and really charismatic --- the very qualities that they saw in Erap. For them, FPJ is the reincarnation of their fallen idol. Or he may even be a better choice for he is Da King! Try to beat that.
Imagine FPJ dealing with the Abu Sayyaf: "Janjalani, isang bala ka lang!" Kapow!
Imagine him in Malacaņang: He looks like a marionette with the strings manipulated by the likes of Lacson and Angara. His speeches are going to be written by Tessie Oreta or better yet, Miriam Defensor-Santiago.
Imagine the Philippines when he is President: the country will be reduced to ashes by the end of his first year. Then he will step down as he cannot perform the duties well --- Angara or Lacson will take over. The Philippines by that time is beyond redemption that even the Chinese Triad of the Mafia is scared stiff just thinking about setting foot onto our soil.
The Apocalypse has come earlier than expected.
To save myself from sure death by my own hands two years from now, I am now pleading to FPJ's sanity to pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssse get a hold of Da King! Will somebody knock on his head to see if there's still some gray matter left between his ears?
Or would you rather advice me to start sharpening my knife now?
END
