The Leader

Recently, I have witnessed a presidentiable leader of our nation who has shown a great sacrifice of his personal ambition to become the next president of the Philippines. I reckon that he has spent enough resources of preparation for his ultimate dream of becoming the president of the Philippine republic. Because of his love of his countrymen and that of his political group , the Liberal Party, Senator Rojas opted to withdraw his presidential candidacy and openly support his colleague , Senator Noynoy Aquino. Truly, Senator Mar is a breed of statesman who is sensitive to the call of times. He eventually heed the voices of the people for genuine change which they believe Senator Noynoy could better address when elected as President. To my mind, this political circus is an indication that just as Christmas is ringing its bells, the election fever is also approaching. Another presidentiable that I am also watching closely is Senator Villar. No wonder among presidential surveys, He topped them all. His life story is challenging yet very inspiring. From being a fish vendor, Senator Villar stand stall above the rest of his colleagues in the political arena. In 2009 he is considered one of the 40 wealthiest man in the Philippines with various business undertakings of real property and the like. Since he has brought his business into an empire of success, I am just curious if he can do the same if he gets the people nod to the Malacanang. According to Dr. Maxwell, the rise and fall of any organization lies on leadership. In the same manner, the rise and fall of our beloved Philippines will depend much with the leaders whom the filipino people have trusted to lead. On this regard, let us just hope and pray, that the filipino people will be more discerning in selecting the leaders of our land .
