::Wish I Could Run For President... Part XV

Saturday, February 28, 2004

I find the section of Eleksyon 2004, an INQ7.net's special site on the 2004 elections, featuring Candidates on Issues, is a very interesting, useful, and informative section that would help each Filipino voters be enlightened who among the six presidentiables, namely: Bro. Eddie Villanueva, Eddie Gil, Panfilo Lacson, Fernando Poe, Jr., Raul Rocco and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, should be the next President of the Philippines!

FOR THE RECORD ONLY (no intent to plagiarize), here are the Controversial Issues featured on Inq7.net's Eleksyon 2004:

  1. What will you accomplish in your first 100 days in office?
  2. Whom will you appoint to your Cabinet?
  3. How will other appointees be selected by your administration?
  4. What legislation will your administration consider high priority?
  5. Can you provide an outline of your desired national budget for your first year in office?)
  6. What is your stand on the country's foreign debt situation?
  7. What is your stand on population control?
  8. What are your plans for the environment?
  9. How will you deal with the following armed groups:

  11. What is your stand on the Marcos wealth issue?
  12. What measures do you intend to undertake against graft and corruption?
  13. How important will military reforms be in your administration?
  14. During your administration, will there be any changes in the country's foreign policy stance vis-à-vis the following:
    1. The United States war on terrorism and the Iraqi occupation

  16. What is your stand on the following?
    1. Abortion
    2. Divorce
    3. Same-sex marriage
