If I was the president of the philippines....

7,107 islands, a population of 90 million and growing, problems beyond solving....and you want to be president? Why? Well let's get one thing straight. I am not qualified. According to the "bastion of truth" that is wikipedia......
Under Article 7, Section 2 of the Philippine Constitution, in order to serve as President, one must be at least 40 years of age, a registered voter, able to read and write, a Filipino citizen by birth, and a resident of the Philippines for at least 10 years prior to election.
this guy would've been president

So there. I am not qualified. At least not yet. Not even close. But because one is not qualified it certainly does not mean you cannot be president, as history would show. So lets just say for the sake of argument (and this blog for that matter) that in the next 10 years I have amassed a gazillion dollars, became a movie actor/athlete, adopted into a political dynasty, and became a manipulative and compulsive liar/SOB and became president...what the F am I gonna do?

Well one thing's for sure, I am not going to promise to better the economy like a certain foreign educated economist president has colossally failed to do, nor will I magically make poverty vanish, or fix the peace and order situation. (ok that's three but who's counting?) Instead, I am going to implement decrees, or presidential orders that are doable and life altering.

But before I can do all that I would need to take my oath of office first, like a good president would. Then I can start changing the country one post at a time.... Tomorrow my term begins.

  1. I really want to vote for you, I like the words doable and life altering, but before I give you my precious vote, please tell us what's your stand about health care, education,
    cha cha, gay issues and Koreans.
