Grace Poe

[lara]

ituloy ang laban ni FPJ!

Grace Poe, daughter of the late actor and presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr., also announced she was running for senator in 2010. Poe said she was running to push her father’s plans for the country.

i honestly don't think she could win. not even her father's popularity will help her. the voters have become more intelligent

hi lara, i don't understand ... you say "ituloy ang laban ni FPJ", but you don't think Grace Poe will win?

your profile says you are a volunteer. are you an NP volunteer? be careful, i don't think your boss would want you to count out Grace Poe too soon. she is being invited to join the senatorial slates of majority of the legitimate opposition parties.

at any rate, Grace Poe has a good shot at the magic 12 -- she is a recognized voice of the opposition, because she's the daughter of FPJ and Susan Roces. she speaks at just about every major opposition rally. she is traveling nationally with Erap, Chiz Escudero, Binay, to further her advocacies -- electoral reform and poverty relief. she was student council at UP. she has a degree in political science from Boston College. she's a wife and a hands-on mom. she has worked in sales, marketing, and finance. she has been a montessori teacher. she currently manages the FPJ Foundation that helps a lot of families.

Poe currently ranks 25 in the Pulse Asia surveys. remember, both escudero and roxas ranked 27/28 in the last senatorial surveys right before the campaign periods wherein they emerged the highest voted senators. she ranks 25, and a) she hasn't even announced she's running yet, b) her mom hasn't publicly endorsed her yet, and c) she hasn't had any print, tv, or radio ads yet.

i think everyone reading this blog should keep Grace Poe in mind for 1 of the 12 slots. what this country needs is someone with pure intentions of helping the country, with the credentials to back him/her, and is not balimbing or trapo.
