A. "Tapusin ang kahirapan"
Villar has insulted the intelligence of the Filipinos by parading his billions of assets in ads and campaign sortie as if a sizable number of voters enough to make him win would believe he will use his own pocket money to fund projects to help poor Filipinos out their dire economic conditions.
His ads runs in billions of pesos paid off already and he's raking good in surveys neck to neck with Noynoy. In reality, even if Villar would use his own money, his billions of pesos would just have a minuscule impact to the total amount required to fund project to end all economic deprivation.
The good thing though many people don't believe him he'll fulfill his election promise. In fact, talking to many people, many of them said that his first course of action once he gets elected is to recoup his campaign expenses. He can do that easily at least with the 2 methods below:
1. Prioritize projects that would benefit his existing real-estates - e.g. C-5 extension or like GMA who managed to raise her total assets after playing the roads construction and land ownership tandem game.
2. Deprive many towns and cities of special projects and group them into a huge one. This approach can help him recoup his expenses so quickly by just one humongous project.
B. "Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap"
Noynoy's platform is always tied to his parents legacy and he's in fact in the strong position to put legs into the very principles his parents fought and died for.
However, Noynoy could have done it better had he run as an independent. At the moment, many of his campaign supporters, especially local execs who run cities and provinces are known incorrigible robbers of people's money.
How would Noynoy eradicate corruption when at the moment, he's seems turning deaf and blind to local execs past and present records as long as they will support him? Is he going to bite their hands once he gets elected or just leave the poor people guessing who will take precedence in terms of repaying gratitude?
C. "Erap para sa mahirap"
This convicted plunderer is reusing his old line as if there has still a sting left on it. However, in the surveys he'll trailing and no signs he would win back his old seat. Erap conviction is a proven fact he's salivating poor man's money in illegal gambling game. Is the rich man's dirty money too difficult to grasp to Erap's mind?
D. "Galing at Talino"
Gibo's intelligence and practical approach in his platforms are well-built into the fact that there would be transitory period in Philippine economic recovery where government officials are still corrupt and yet the country is still progressing.
The closest scenario we could get is a mixed of GMA (minus FG and Mikey) plus a Fidel's Ramos political will.
E. "Pagbabago, Sigurado"
Gordon's no-nonsense style did him good both as local exec in Olongapo and currently as Senator. However, it still remains to be seen he would still be that effective when carrying the whole country's problems into his back, most of them are caused by deeply ingrained wrong attitudes of the Filipinos.
Judging from his records, the likelihood there would be changes is highly likely. But how effective he would be as problem-solver nationwide remains to be seen or whether the changes he advertising himself he could do would be felt by Mang Pandoy.
