Possible Presidentiables
This is based on study of Mass Communication students of University of the Philippines. The study, IMPRESS10N: Importance of Media Presence on the Bid for the 2010 National Elections, by students of the University of the Philippines Communication Research Department, showed that increasing exposure of potential candidates through the media may not improve their desirability since most voters draw a connection between media visibility and pre-campaigning.
Politicians who are recently and presently visible in newspapers, news in present political issues may no be that popular. Last year, there were some politicians accused of early campaign for endorsing commercial products, billboards are everywhere in Edsa, SLEX, NLEX and others main roads. Whatever their reason are in interviews, there is always hidden motive for accepting the endorsement… campaign and extra exposure.
The study was based on interviews with residents in urban and suburban Metro Manila, Central Luzon and the Calabarzon (Cavite-Batangas-Laguna-Rizal-Quezon) and on two focus group discussions—one for the young Filipino potential voters (17-35 years old) and another for old potential voters (36 and above).
With this research, the possible presidentiables are as follows
Other names that were identified by respondents as possible candidates but failed to make it to the top 10 include:
- 14 incumbent senators
- Batangas Governor Vilma Santos and her husband, Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Ralph Recto
- former House Speaker Jose de Venecia
- former First Lady Imelda Marcos and her daughter Imee
- boxing champion Manny Pacquiao
- Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte
- Jesus Is Lord’s Eddie Villanueva
- El Shaddai leader Mike Velarde
- broadcasters Korina Sanchez and Susan Enriquez
- actress Susan Roces
- ZTE star witness Jun Lozada
- former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-joc” Bolante.
Additional publicity is exposure to voters but voters now are more vigilant on choosing their candidates. I hope we could start to change our government to a better Philippines.
