While
I’m still undecided on who to vote for this coming May 9, it’s probably not
Binay nor Roxas. I could go for Santiago, but I’m still waiting for her to jump
off an airplane. So I’m left with the Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, and
Senator Grace Poe.
Though
I’m still undecided, I’ll give Duterte an edge over Poe. And it’s not the
elimination of crime within 3-6 months. That’s too idealistic. I’ll give him
the whole 6 years to eliminate all sorts of crime. Some accuses him of promoting the politics of
fear, just to win votes. I could say it’s valid. But every politician does the
same. Binay is utilizing poverty porn. Roxas is utilizing the righteous path.
What I like about Duterte, beyond the politics of fear, is his adherence on
federalism.
