Defining our times and circumstances

The unfolding impulse of politics that Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilbert Teodoro Jr. is expecting to come from the youths and more intelligent voters to bring him to the presidency may be correct – but only partly.

Mostly, it will come from himself being distinct and different from the rest of the crowd of “presidentiables” and political adversaries.

Unlike all the others to whom politics seems a never ending game, Teodoro brings seriousness to his campaign both in manners and in his utterances, defining our times and circumstances.

To be sure, while others proceed in their campaigns mesmerized by their own superficial accommodation of what they consider to be the public good, Teodoro campaigns “true to character, showing who he is and what he stands for.”

He talks straight and his vision of government is adequately clear and measured.

“The highest office of the land,” he declared, “calls upon us to apply the highest standard of selection – not genetics, not wealth, not even popularity – just good old-fashioned virtues for which we selected our presidents in the past and made them heroes in our national history.”
