tuloy ba ang laban?

i have been reading the dailies in when i wake up a six-year daily habit, and ever since i learned to appreciate reading the broadsheet never was i shocked by a news headline the way i was shocked this morning by a news item: Widow of Roco to eye for Senate Seat in 07.

earth to rj, come in rj.

you can bet i had butterflies and dragonflies in my stomach upon reading the headline. i made sure that i was not dreaming and that the news headline i was reading was not too good to be true. indeed it was not. she is really seeking for a senate seat. thank God man created the belief of divine intervention! but as senses regained its hold on my psyche that came in late from its sojourn with alice in her land, i have come to realize that i have to have reservations on her plan to run for senate.

dont get me wrong, i believe in maam sonia. if there is one person who could emulate the reasons and wisdom of RSR i guess that would be SMR. i know she is equally able and sincere in serving the public as RSR. i am just concerned on how the doomsayers would react on her candidacy. i have always admired SMR for her privacy. it seems like when i look at her every time she passes by in our cramped up office i am looking at a person so deep and private. somehow i do not want that to be ruined. it is a dog eat dog in Philippine politics, i think i cannot afford to see her in front of my boobtube clearing her name of the baseless accusations her rivals will throw at her. but i know her candidacy will be a living manifestation that hope resides among those who believe and it comes from those who are sincere.

Now that she has confirmed it, I guess the answer to your title is a big YES. I just simply don't know what to feel right now.

But for sure, I'll vote for her. I'm not certain if I could give the same effort I've given during RSR's campaign.

her she is, a woman of substance which equally competent with those who are in the senate. maybe, more qualified to other current senators to hold such position.

we in naga city, she will definitely gets the big yes!

yeah, she'll get my vote and she'll have my support as well. however, i too am not sure if i could give the same amount of support that i have given RSR. not that my commitment is for RSR alone, but because things are a bit different already. priorities have changed and i think it is time for me to think about what i can do for myself first. it is a shame but i guess when people are correct that when you grow old you tend to become a lil individualistic, especially when you have a life ahead to secure.
