Roxas gives way to Aquino No, it's not good prevailing over evil.
No, it's not country before self.
No, it's not leading to unity, rather than division.
It's plain and simple the oldest and cheapest trick in politics - fielding a "winnable" candidate.
All the pseudo drama and proclaimed self-sacrifice will not reap the Liberal Party any pogi points at all to win the 2010 elections - that is if everyone would just look above and beyond the surface of this event. LP is just riding on the Aquino legacy and feeding the Filipinos with false hopes.
What makes Noynoy Aquino a Presidentiable is a question begging for serious answers. He has been a politician all his life, but he has yet to prove himself worthy of a public office. He has displayed none of his father's eloquence and intellectual brilliance. He has barely the shadow of his mother's sense of leadership and charisma. His surname surely cannot be his only passport to greatness.
The Liberal Party, for the sake of its glorious leaders in the past, should not have succumbed to popular politics. A party standard bearer should be a tested character with unquestionable qualifications, not one who can only serve to tickle the public's fancy.
Noynoy Aquino may be a winnable candidate now, but he can never be a winner in every sense of the word.
