Among the many aspirants
to become the next President of the Philippines, there is only one name that
stands out for me in terms of
credibility and capacity for leadership and that is no other than Miriam Defensor-Santiago.
She is well known for having served in all three branches of the government
which makes her really ripe for presidency. In addition, Senator Santiago has
received several awards and recognition for her outstanding public service. It
is my belief that her strong personality, along with her remarkable credentials,
would make her a good leader of this country.
Prior to her announcement
of candidacy, I was actually thinking of not voting in the coming elections and
just go with the flow as I don’t think any of the other candidates deserves my
vote. In my opinion, the next President must be good enough to handle several
major issues of the country such us corruption, poverty, and the recent
territorial disputes in the South China Sea among others. As it is going to be first time to vote in the
May 2016 elections, with Miriam Defensor-Santiago I am confident that I will be
voting for a truly deserving candidate for President.
At present, she is still
one of the most popular choices to become the next president despite criticisms
about her medical condition. In one of
her interviews, Senator Santiago said: “If I become president sometime in the
very near future, this country will be much better than it was before.”
In a Rappler article by
Jee Geronimo with a title “The Leader I
Want: Miriam Santiago's to-fix list for 2016”, she presented
Santiago’s stand on several issues that the next President will have to focus
on: corruption, social inequality, climate change and disasters, foreign
policy, overseas Filipino workers, and peace in Mindanao among others.
My vote is with Senator
Miriam Defensor-Santiago in the coming 2016 presidential elections and I hope
that the voting public will reconsider their choices of future leaders of the
country in a way that they take into consideration the credibility and capacity
for leadership. It is my opinion that we need the wisdom, character, and
leadership of Miriam Defensor-Santiago in order to make a positive change in
the Philippines.
#Miriam2016.
