TRAPOS ARE TESTING THE WATERS FOR NOYNOY-MAR CANDIDACY

As we feel the heating beat of 2010 polls, we also see personalities running here and there in order to cope up with the electrifying rhythm of the forthcoming electoral process, especially those that prey on “winnable tandems” such that of Senators Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas. And the picture speaks so clearly: frustrated financial backers of Roxas who went beyond their means are out to pin-down Noynoy’s ascendancy to Malacañang while the displeased members of the Liberal Party (LP) doubted Noynoy’s motivation in bagging the executive post.

Accordingly, the financial backers of the former presidential hopeful Sen. Manuel Roxas is out to pin-down Noynoy Aquino with the supposed blessing of an influential civil society group. Disgruntled members of the LP had one way or another helped in the glitch of Aquino’s career, doubting Noynoy’s motivation in assuming the highest political seat was all for Aquinos’ sake.

The decision of Roxas to quit from the presidential race was not just for the sake of “reform”. Obviously, LP accepted the fact that having the Noynoy-Mar tandem would be invincible that it could eventually take a political victory over Erap Estrada and Manny Villar. This political ploy by no less than the “struggling” LP gives the public a far better clear picture that indeed TRAPOs are simply testing the waters to see how long the Cory “magic” will last and as to how far Roxas will ride on the Party’s decision to cast him aside.

Sources further disclosed that the monetary supporters of Roxas wanted more than cheating a “second best”. They actually yearn to bag the presidency and they will have it one way or another and even at the expense of the Aquinos. The groups are determined to divide LP’s resolve on Noynoy’s candidacy. And they are having the “charitable” funding of renowned civil society groups to include the ones under Dinky Soliman.

Philippine politics is yet again tainted by ill-fated political personalities who are enticed with rotten self-interests- and even purists like members of the civil society are not an exception; especially those with superfluous monetary machinery used in tossing up one presidential bet like Roxas. They insinuate that Noynoy’s motivation in running for the presidential race was made out of his family’s will and not with what the LP has orchestrated and imagined- evidently, backstabbing the Cory’s “only begotten son”. Such a scenario is inevitable, especially that it’s all about power and authority to lead a state. Obviously, the “Noynoy mania” was not made out of public’s confidence but instead drawn from his mother – the well-regarded former President Cory Aquino, whose charm greatly influence most of the Filipinos. The fluidity of people’s trust on Noynoy not as the son of Cory but a probable president at his own right is now being goaded by Roxas’ frustrated supporters. They plan to abuse Noynoy’s weakness and use it to boost Roxas’political maneuvering.

Almost every election, politicians and their preying advisors are up to show their best and “magnificently” persuade the voting public with their “out-of-this-world” political platforms. Undeniably, ours is a kind of politics with various political rhythm dubiously composed by no less than opportunist TRAPOs. And sadly, Noynoy and Mar unwittingly dance in this fiasco with us drowning for instability and vague future. Will you allow this to happen?
