Esmail “Toto” Mangudadatu, Vice-Mayor of Buluan, Maguindanao, speaks out to clarify political issues being pointed at him recently. Mangudadatu has explained that an effort by Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. to deter him to run for governor against Gov. Andal Ampatuan Sr. in Maguindanao elections prior to the grim massacre of 57 persons last November 23 was not intended at removing him from the political picture but a “sincere advice from a friend” wanting to protect him from potential hostility from the controversial Ampatuan clan.

De La Salle University is well known through their school theme, the color green. DLSU Green Archers, the school’s senior basketball team on UAAP tournament also showcases their athleticism in green. And when it comes to their pick for the presidential race in May 2010 elections, DLSU remained “green” by choosing the candidate of hope and change. Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilberto ”Gibo” Teodoro Jr.  notched another victory on the mock presidential elections, this time at the Dela Salle University (DLSU) territory.

Every presidential candidate is urged to give his/her opinion about the RH (Reproductive Health) matter to further know where they stand on the two sides of the issue. Months ago, after declaring that he would continuously support certain RH bill stipulation, despite having a taste of the Church’s anger, Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilberto Teodoro Jr. stated that he is now recommending “moral choice” on the Reproductive Health issue. One of his reasons was to be able to please different sectors as well.

According to the presidential candidate, his decision to change his stance on House Bill 5043 or the RH bill was “a practical matter” since the debate on the measure “has created more division than harmony.”

Just before we arrive at the scheduled date of the 2010 May elections, there are lots of issues arising against certain aspiring candidates. There are propagandas set to pull down one’s campaign.

Lakas-Kampi CMD presidential bet Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. has dared Ampatuan clan’s lawyer to file charges against him in court for the ontogeny of illegal weapons in the province of Maguindanao.

The Ampatuans, as we all know, are the alleged masterminds of the November 23 heinous massacre in Maguindanao.

“The military officers responsible for the unlawful diversion of the government firearms and ammunitions must be punished,” former secretary Gibo Teodoro told reporters Tuesday.

One of sercretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr.’s vision and mission is to eradicate illegal recruiters. This crooks victimizing on overseas Filipino workers or OFWs face an vindictive and unappeased suppression under an administration of Lakas-Kampi CMD standard bearer Gibo Teodoro Jr.

“If OFWs are truly our modern heroes, then illegal recruiters are our modern foes; thus, prosecution and punishment shall be swift, sure and severe life (sentence) with no bail, and with no pardon for illegal recruiters,” said Gibo, under a policy to protect migrant workers abroad.

Government leaders are judged by their accomplishments and contribution to the country. A man is measured for the good things he has done to his fellowmen, and reflects the character he truly possess. One man stands out when it comes to achievements and contributions.
