[Presidential Campaign] Extend the Age of R

Sometimes, it hits me. Why should I be posting a campaign article anyway if:

a) I am the incumbent president, thus the so-called incumbency advantage

(which proves why in the 1987 NAMFREL full count of the 1986 elections, Marcos won by around 700,000 votes against Cory Aquino, as opposed to the more than 1 million votes announced by the Marcos controlled COMELEC, but this was never announced to the public until the time Marcos was long dead)

b) Five of the seven parties in the Philippines supported my candidacy

(though this does not easily translate victory because the other candidate would not run if he had no secret weapon like a grassroots voter base, and those two parties who opted not to support me were among the largest in ePH)

Still, I made this article anyway. Enough said. 🙂



As said in my last SORA, a better Philippines lies ahead with the foundation we have done in the Age of R. But I would like to continue the work still undone by the Raposas administration in the past month. This would form the backbone of my platform for this month.

Of course, we lacked resources because even though I am President, I cannot access the Treasury without Congress (resulting from lack of regions). In order to remedy this, I asked for cheap, affordable, and zero interest loan from some our allies in NaN. Once we have an access to the treasury, we can easily pay this with only a small fraction of the current financial standing.



But with only more or less 6,000 PHP, the government had been able to provide food and weapons to around 60 citizens in the past twenty days, give support to a RW, provide transport fees to needy citizens, jumpstart the Philippine weapons market by selling at prices competitive with our neighbors, and provide salary to the Cabinet.

Though I also have to spend my own money as well, that is the cost of public service.

Also, talks have been ongoing between our nation, China and Indonesia, and it took a long while to have an understanding with our bigger neighbors (they actually prove friendly as time passes by). I would like to see regions for our nation this following month, and that I am determined to fulfill.

So, I appeal to the people once again, as I did since I first ran in March, lend me your energies for me to be President once more. Vote on the Presidential elections on August 5, it is your right.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas at ang mga Pilipinong lumalaban!
