Watching the presidential forum last night, with four presidential candidates took turns selling themselves to the public through their most convincing replies to win the hearts of the populace this coming election. The audience were very excited as I do. The forum lasted for two hours but I was satisfied with the results. A veteran anchor roasted the presidentiables like peanuts in a frying fan with his hot and tricky questions leaving each of them somehow pondering.
Issues like insurgency and rebellion, survey results, tremendous accumulation of wealth after term of office, poverty to name a few were tackled. Basically , a voter glued on the show could weigh who stood out among them. Who has the political will. Who has a big chance of making it through not based on surveys and popularity.Who has the proven track record of accomplishment and not just lip-service. Who is able to tap the best out of limited resources. Who is who?
My forecast will be different from yours and vice-versa. You like someone who's very articulate. Probably,some would like candidates who are entertaining. In fact, politicians nowadays became instant actors and actresses. They became dancers and singers. Others might choose someone who are greenhorns. Some are for veterans.
But the bottomline, was it an informed choice? My hats off to one of the presidentiables who proposed that instead of campaigning with large tarpaulins and placards, meeting de avance ,etc might as well conduct forum to every schools in the country. In such a way, the people can interact with them freely. It costs less. Consequently , it levels the playing field.
