Gordon-BF to harness volunteerism for 2010 bid

Posted at 12/02/2009 1:48 AM | Updated as of 12/02/2009 1:48 AM

They boast of their and their wives’ successes in local governance

Senator Richard Gordon and recently resigned Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chair Bayani Fernando on Tuesday formalized their team-up and filed their certificates of candidacy (COC) for president and vice president, respectively.

They filed under their newly formed party, Bagumbayan-Volunteers for A New Philippines (Bagumbayan-VNP), to symbolize how they succeeded in harnessing community action during their stint as local officials.

Gordon, as mayor of Olongapo City for 11 years and chair of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, was known to have led the rebuilding of the area’s economy after the the American military bases closed down. He was succeeded as mayor by his wife, Kate.

In running for president, Gordon will be facing his nephew, Olongapo Councilor JC delos Reyes, who filed his COC a few days earlier.

Fernando also turned Marikina from being a crime-ridden city into a model in basic service delivery and investor-friendliness during his mayorship for 9 years. He was succeeded by his wife, Marides.

Fernando earlier expressed his intention to run for president, but failed to get the nomination of his party, the ruling Lakas.

Vote 1, take 4
Gordon said that he and Fernando possess the same values, vision, and political will. He said they have “proven leadership” that can inspire Filipinos “to face the challenges of indifference and apathy.”

“Walang tamad sa tambalang ito, walang tanga sa tambalang ito (Nobody’s lazy, nobody’s stupid in this teamup),” Gordon said of their “transformational leadership.”

Gordon said that he and Fernando have no big funders or backers, but they still have enough resources to sustain their cam[aign. This way, he said, they can avoid becoming “pedigree, money-class politicians.”

In voting for their tandem, Gordon said, “You buy one, you take four mayors.”

The newly formed party has no senatorial slate, but Gordon said have fielded candidates in some localities. (Newsbreak)

VOTE FOR GORDON AS THE NEXT PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT N PLEASE FORGET EMPTY BRAIN CLOWN NOYNOY - LETS ALL HELP CAMPAIGN FOR GORDON FROM THE BOTTOM

A rare candidate

I almost cried my heart out all the way from Texas, USA when I heard that Dick Gordon/Bayani Fernando have filed their candidacy for president/vice-president. It is time for the Philippines to have and rarely have as I considered transformational leaders who can transform the country to become a “First World”. They promise change to our nation. I am hoping the old Philippine label “The Old Sick Man of Asia” will finally get the cure. I considered Gordon as a “White Barrack Obama”. As the US had our first black American president who promised “Change we can believe in”. The Philippines can also have the first “White Philippine American president”. As what Dick Gordon always says, “What the country needs is not a change of men but a change in men”. I have followed Gordon’s progress after the Pinatubo and the withdrawal of US military at Subic/Clark. I was considerably impressed on how he transformed the city into a magnificent city with an army of volunteers. That is what I called “True leader”. I can only imagine what our country will become if he indeed becomes president. I do not care if they are at the bottom of the survey. I do believe the survey being conducted in the Philippines by the leading companies is bias. It becomes a one directional approach to a certain candidate. I would like to see more live debates on TV as the candidates are judge how they handle animosity or any challenges in real time by answering direct questions from the group panel. Let me just make a brief comment about the candidates:

Villar- He failed to attend the “Harapan 2010 debate” not that he failed because he refused. He cancelled the last minute. He said he has an important business meeting. The question remain, what is more important his business meeting or being the president of the country? By failing to attend the debate, this clearly signifies if he becomes the president, his only priority will be his personal business agenda not the country. I cannot believe becoming a president, he became afraid to face questions from a UST students. This is not a leader the Philippine need.

Gilberto- He represents the Arroyo Administration who has a linked to the Ampatuan clan. I do not see that much change with him on what the Philippines already have.

Noynoy- To many “Trapos” and “Celebrity Trapos”. He spent many years in congress and as a senator, but done absolutely nothing. No laws were pass on his behalf. He is only a mere spectator and audience in the senate. That’s it! If you talk about his parent’s legacy? What legacy? The Philippines did not improve when the Aquino was in power. The country deteriorated. Multiple coup attempts that signify people are unhappy to the current administration. The notion that Cory Aquino’s presidency is a joke.

Gordon- I will let Mr. Paul Farol’s article do the talking. It speaks of all Gordon’s accomplishment that every Filipino can be excited about.

Best Team Ever sa Philippine Politics

I like this Team. Hope the Filipino people will give their votes to this two promising Public Servant with their know no non sense application and implementation of the rule of law, beside they inspire and take lead for doing what is right and good for their contituents and to there respective turf. 101% I will support the candidacy of Gordon-Bayani Team. I will send some financial donation to this group if I cannot volunteer. Before I like Noynoy-Mar tandem eh puro lang naman to mga artista tsaka mga press release, nakaksawa na. Its look like. Tsaka wala pang napatunayan tong Noynoy-mar nato kaya I turn my back from them, This is our Hope. Go for Gordon-Bayani.
