Baguio For Gordon

The presidential elections is three years away and potential candidates for the position are prohibited by law to start campaigning outside of the stipulated campaign period. As concerned citizens however we can air our views specially in very significant matters as our choice for President come election time. Ordinary citizens who are concerned for their future must understand that politics greatly influence ones life. The people we elect as leaders in political exercises such as local, regional and national elections will shape the future of the country. Whether it goes up or down depend on how well ordinary citizens exercise their right of suffrage. Let us not waste it !

The objective of this blog is to convince readers that Sen. Dick Gordon is the man who must lead us to a more promising future. Among our political leaders, he shows the best promise. What he did as Mayor of Olongapo, as Tourism Secretary, as SBMA Administrator and what he is now doing as Senator and as Red Cross Volunteer reflects the kind of leadership we need to get us out of the rut we now are in. Since a blog is a two way traffic, I would expect comments from anyone who can tell me otherwise. Who knows you might convince me that your candidate is better.

This blog also initiates a movement in my locale that is Baguio City the reason for this blog's title. If Baguio had Dick Gordon for Mayor, we would have retained our status as the prime tourism center in the country. But that would be wishful thinking. Now if we have him for President, I am pretty sure cities and provinces all throughout the country will follow the path of Olongapo, that is towards a more progressive future. Voters in this city are perceived to be intelligent voters. I'd like to hear what they say. Would they be for Dick Gordon as I am? Or would they be for a different candidate? People of Baguio who cares to join me should create their own blog and push for the candidacy of Sen. Dick Gordon.
