National Defense Secretary Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro is almost assured of the support of the entire administration party for his candidacy in the upcoming 2010 Presidential elections. The LAKAS national committee made a vote today after both Gibo and MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando were interviewed about their platforms and plans. According to the article on Inquirer.Net, Gibo came out strong with 42 votes (out of 47). Fernando only got 5 votes. However this isn’t final yet since they may have to get the consensus of the entire party before they decide for good.

Just some thoughts to ponder on given this latest development:

- In the latest SWS survey, Liberal Party standard bearer Senator Noynoy Aquino topped the charts at 50%. Gibo wasn’t even on the list. Does he have enough time and charisma to win over the appeal of his cousin and against Cory magic?

- Based on his interviews, Gibo is fiercely loyal to GMA and her administration. Will he turn a blind eye to GMA’s alleged crimes when he gets elected? Will he support prosecution of GMA and her allies?

- Mindanao is a treasure chest of mineral resources that the Philippines can use to spur growth. As the Defense Chief, what measures will he implement when he becomes President on how we can finally stamp out terrorism in the south and make full use of our resources?

- If ever anyone from his family, staff, or friends reads this post, please do extend my offer to Gibo to organize a blogger event for him for free. He will just have to provide the venue and the food. You can contact me directly by e-mailing me at oplecarlo@gmail.com.

Another thought that comes to my mind is what will MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando do? Will he bolt the party and run a campaign on his own? Or will he slide down and become the VP candidate for Gibo? If that’s the case, then how will DILG Secretary Ronnie Puno react? Interesting developments.
