2010 Polls: Aquino versus Villar




Can't there be any conflict of interest between the presidency and Villar's family business?, Can Aquino live up and continue the great legacy of his parents?
Philippines, having a multi party system gives more roam for aspiring presidentiables. There are 6 legitimate candidates but people thinks it will boils down between Noynoy and Manny. Manny Villar is made known for his humble beginnings, a poor family from Tondo, who strives hard to alleviate from poverty and now became one of the richest personalities in the Philippines today. Transforming him from a poor boy in Tondo to a ''billionaire, through their family business.'' Indeed, it is so evident how wealthy Manny is, in his ads and campaigns. On the other hand Noynoy capitalizes on his last name ''Aquino.'' as a popular and outstanding last name in Philippine politics and even in Philippine showbiz. Being the only son of a National hero, the late ''Ninoy Aquino Sr,'' who bravely fought against the Marcos regime up to his last breath and the former President, the late ''Cory Aquino'' - the icon of 1986 Edsa Revolution and Philippine democracy. And a brother of Kris Aquino a well known TV host and actress. As the election is fast aproaching, the rivalry between the two become more heated, as the recent surveys goes head to head. But the most important question for Noynoy is, can he live up and continue the great legacy of his parents? And for Manny, can't there be any conflict of interest between the presidency and their family business? Questions that need an answer through their actions and for voters to think about. So, what do you think?
