I’m thinking that it’s going to be Aquino vs. Escudero in 2010.
Usually I hate making “political prophecies” on account that anything can happen in the world of politics. I’m not betting on it just yet, but I have a gut feeling that in 2010, you’ll have a traditional Filipino presidential deathmatch of Liberal vs. Nacionalista (or, at the very least, the NPC): Noynoy Aquino on one hand, and Chiz Escudero on the other.
At this point, it’s fairly easy to draw conclusions and parallelisms of Ninoy vs. Macoy. Or, perhaps, Kennedy vs. Nixon. Any way you look at it, it’s still fairly easy to call anything in the game. These are just arrows cast to the air, hoping that they’ll hit. Or at the very least, come close.
I’m cancelling out Mar Roxas and Manny Villar here for now (I’ll pit the two of them against each other), and I may make random notes on them one of these days. These are just random notes; nothing eloquent or complicated or expert or deep or anything.
