Villar -- same old story?

Looks like Villar will just follow GMA's footsteps. As far as I can deduce from his plans, and platform of governance, it would seem that he is not really serious in fighting graft and corruption which is a plague that is slowly killing the country. He himself is guilty of graft and corruption, of enriching himself so much that in a span of close to two decades he accumulated an estimated wealth of 46 billion pesos. (Please read this article http://www.noynoy.ph/blog/2010/02/19/sorting-through-criminal-billions)

I'm just wondering why the so-called "progressives" would rather link their asses to that of Villar's where in fact, if these people are really serious in making reforms in the country, they should have just mobilized their members without Villar's help to make their candidates a sure win in the elections, and should have just used their "skills in protesting" to attract more volunteers to bring their dream into reality. They are not consistent of their principles.

Going back to Villar, I can sense that he will also tolerate his allies in stealing money from the government coffers which is already bleeding dry.

While Noynoy has still the Luisita Hacienda issue hanging over his head, I would still prefer him over other choices that we have now. He is more of a lesser evil than Villar. Perlas could have been one but he possesses a messianic complex. Villanueva is hallucinating. Gibo is intelligent, but is also a same old story. Erap? A very old story and should have been serving his dying times in jail.

While GMA has ZTE, Villar has the potential ROI (return-of-investment) syndrome. I'm pretty sure, once he becomes President, he will find ways to recoup his election expenses. It could be either in the form of increased values of his properties and those that his companies are selling (tsk, tsk, obviously a hidden agenda) or he will order infrastructure projects on or near where his company's interests are. He will also be a walking salesman of his companies.

In short, I don't think his presidency will result to a good governance which we have been dreaming of. It is just the same old story. Poor Philippines, another six years of rehashed presidency.
