In less than 15 days, the 15th president of the republic will, to put it more appropriately, SHOULD be declared. But at the current rate the counting of votes is going in Congress, it seems that the board of canvassers should work double time in order to proclaim the REAL president elect: FPJ or GMA?

I voted for GMA and I would really like to see Her Excellency taking oath by June 30. It is a sad fact that the opposition party is doing all they can to prevent this scenario. I can't help but think and ask myself:

"What has gotten into their (the opposition) pathetic minds by saying that the winner is no less than FPJ who, as the opposition says represents the VOX POPULI?"

I almost laugh my head off everytime I see interviews with Senators(?) Sotto and Angara coming to Poe's defense. It is as if not obvious why they're doing this. I can't even post whats on my mind. Just thinking about it makes me wanna puke.

And why am I so dead set into believing that GMA is the real winner? Here are the reasons:

1. GMA has the blessings of the top two religious organizations Iglesia ni Cristo and El Shaddai, which are known to give unanimous vote as what their leaders dictate;
2. FPJ should have gotten another running mate instead of Loren Legarda who is very much identified with Arroyo's camp before. The reason for this is that Legarda is among those who rally for the ousting of former leader Estrada during the Impeachment and the now infamous Edsa II. Erap loyalists who are supposed to be the key supporters of FPJ did not take this move of FPJ as favorable to their idol;
3. FPJ's much publicized show of temperament (esp. with Media) did not earn him pogi points with the middle and upper classes;
4. GMA has a strong and formidable (though in times divided) political machinery. Add this to the fact that former presidents Ramos and Aquino were there to back her up;
5. FPJ's lovechild with former starlet Ana Marin did not go very well with moralists, catholic organizations and women activists. Even Susan Roces' outburst of emotion during the height of election backstabbing and mud slinging did not earn sympathy of voters but only shows that actors will be actors even in real life; and
6. FPJ's refusal to join presidential debate which I believe is a win-win situation for GMA, who is well-schooled to say the least against a high school drop-out.

This is not an all-inclusive list. It would take one htm page to probably enumerate why GMA is the real winner and Poe, a sorry loser!
