Teodoro-Garcia tandem 2010

A possible Teodoro-Garcia tandem for 2010 presidential elections has been set up by the administration. After the final negotiations, the ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD party is expected to hold its national convention on Nov. 12 in Cebu to formalize the selection of Sec. Gilberto Teodoro and his running mate for the 2010 elections.

There has been a rumor of possible Teodoro-Legarda tandem before, but since Legarda had already declared that she will still remain in the opposition despite her running for Vice-President, the tandem was not considered.

Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia is the present and first woman governor of Cebu. Born October 12, 1955, she is commonly known as Gwen. She was first elected in 2004 and re-elected in 2007.

Presidential Candidates 2010 Update

Presidential candidates 2010 update:

Since incumbent Vice-President Noli De Castro haven't decided until the set date whether to run for presidency or not, the administration's party had opted to choose between MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando and National Defense Sec. Gilberto Teodoro, Jr.. On Wednesday, after the conducted secret balloting among the members of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD Party, Sec. Teodoro won and eventually became the party's standard bearer. His possible running mate would be DILG Secretary Ronaldo Puno.

Personally, I won't be giving my vote to Sec. Teodoro because:

1. He doesn't have a say about the country's foreign debt;
2. He said he will continue the programs of the present administration which I think had not done any good to alleviate the economic status of the poor;
3. He is pushing for an untimely charter change; and most of all
4. He's a pro-war politician when he said he supports "War on Terrorism". (Who are these terrorists, anyway?)
