Keep maligning him and regret
Businessmen, that elitist clique in Makati, also belittled FPJ as did a number of trapos, obviously to scare the movie actor into deciding against running. There is even a text brigade using God for their selfish ends. They are texting the people to pray to God to make FPJ see the light and decide not to run…. All that arm twisting may just anger him — just like the hero he plays in the movies who finally gets fed up with all the badgering by the bad guys that he turns around and wreaks vengeance on them. Baka mainis ‘yan, sige kayo. Like mild-mannered Bruce Banner being picked on, there is an implied plea in FPJ’s silence: “Please don’t make me angry. I get terrible when I’m angry.” When he gets angry, he may just run, even if he doesn’t intend to, just to spite those hecklers.

Just what I said. Besides, he may not have the experience, but he has the personality. I’m not saying that it’s the only rational basis of one’s election. But he is a good and moral man. In a government culture that breeds corruption in all its forms, he can serve as a long-awaited relief. He’s not totally dumb anyway, he manages his own film production company. And besides, a president never works alone. He knows well that he’d do better by appointing intellectual technocrats in his cabinet. And he doesn’t have hoards of relatives who can abuse his power. If I am just eligible to vote, Poe would be one of the candidates I’d consider voting for. Many people are tired of politicians.
and why do u think most opposition politikos would like him to enter politics even with his hesitations and low profile, that’s becasue his main purpose to be PP (president of the Philippines) is to save his buddy Erap from being convicted of his crimes. Don’t get me wrong, i respect him both as a man and an actor(in fact his one of my favorite), but if my speculations is right about his main intention on joining the bandwagon, i know he’s a good man but he won’t get my vote and i hope he won’t get much too.

The problem with FPJ taking the presidency is he will be a pawn. Yes, he’s not entirely stupid but YES, he IS a “friend” to many. Namely ERAP. Presidents have the power to pardon whoever they see fit. And that’s just one.
Personally, I’ll vote either Roco or Arroyo. I don’t like Arroyo but for the sake of consistency with the projects she has at the moment, I might as well choose her. Philippine politics is in need of stability and if we keep changing presidents, every project of the previous president will be stopped.
