The Hard Way is Always the Best Way!

I tuned in my radio to “Boys Night Out” over 89.9 last Thursday (September 10) when I chanced upon Toni Toni and Slick Rick interviewing Senator Dick Gordon. Sam YG was out on a “personal business” (a date with Karylle maybe).

Apparently, the senator was not a first time guest of the show and has developed a good camaraderie with the boys. It was a fun discussion. Free flowing. The topics focused on Mr. Gordon’s bid for the presidency in 2010. However, as the senator mentioned, he was just a hopeful candidate since he has just expressed his intention to run but do not have yet the backing of his party.

The man is definitely outspoken and was able to answer all the questions thrown at him during his segment of the show---even the grilling of a woman accusing him of a 800 million civil liability allegedly pending in the office of the ombudsman.

Here’s a man who has an agenda to make our country better. However, duplicating what he did with Subic and Clark in a national level will entail a lot of political will. Being a man of action and result, Mr. Gordon has earned the ire of the corrupt, the do-no-gooders, and the political leachers. These people will definitely make life miserable for Mr. Gordon if ever he becomes president. However, it is amidst adversity that Mr. Gordon has made himself known. He said, “THE HARD WAY IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY.” Very true indeed! It is during time of conflict and hardship that a man’s character is manifested---his moment of truth!

We are witnesses to Mr. Gordon’s transformation of Subic and Clark. We have seen him revitalize Philippine Tourism with his WOW Philippines campaign. We have seen him at work as a Red Cross volunteer---saving lives and alleviating other people’s suffering. And we have seen him work in the senate pushing for bills that seek to uplift our people and our country and standing up for issues with a firm but fair conviction.

We don’t need a lackey of a president! One who would not easily give in to the coercion of the power players and America! We have had enough ass bending for so long! Make the informed choice and do not let the commercials sway the way you’re going to vote!

I do believe Mr. Gordon is our man in 2010. I call on everyone to step into the light and grab a hold of our destiny!
