 What do you expect from the same guy who once arrogantly said, “If you don’t have at least P2 billion, why even bother to run for president?”Money talks, indeed. And Manny’s money talks big time! Comedians do it for him. Half-starved, half-naked children do a production number for him. Even the egghead gay host now pitching for the other guy once did it for him. Hey, it’s a living for these people. Of course, with the generous talent fees they are getting, they can live it up. So, lighten up, folks. Consider it as one guy doing what the Department of Finance should be doing — priming the economy with wanton political ads. If he loses, charge it to his massive expense account. If he wins, he would make everybody — and the last time we checked, everybody includes himself — prosper as his campaign line says. So what if he’s splurging? It’s his money. It simply ain’t our business. And his excuse? He has no popular relatives to help his candidacy. “This is what I want to tell you — that it’s my money I am spending. It is important to ask not only how much is being spent but who is spending for the candidates. This is also important,” said presidential candidate Sen. Manny Villar in Filipino. Asked who these “generous friends” are, the guy suddenly became bashful and zipped his lips. “I don’t have a mother who’s a president, a sister who’s an artist. There is a need to elect someone who started poor like me,” Villar was quoted as saying by a major broadsheet which organized the first presidential debate at the University of the Philippines Theater in Diliman Quezon City yesterday. “This is our only hope and if not, then the poor no longer have any chance to rise up and become president,” he further said. Villar was obviously referring to his strongest rival, Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, son of the late president Corazon Aquino, and only brother of popular TV host, Kris Aquino-Yap. His sudden surge in surveys was said to be because of the billions of pesos spent for his ads on television and endorsements by big movie stars. |
