Characteristics Of A Good President In The Philippines

The fate of Philippines is not entirely dependent to whom the next president will be, but rather the wiseness of the people whom they are willing to support and follow for six consecutive years. The most crucial part in the politics is the election for the highest position, the president. For this reason, every voter must be very meticulous. What makes a good president? For me, a president, a person of integrity, must be someone who could bring back people’s trust to the government. Furthermore, a president should function in a purposeful and orderly way. He/she must be also a critical thinker. I strongly believe that Miriam Defensor-Santiago possesses all of these traits. Every president of the Philippines had their glorious and dark moments
According to the book “Mga Pangulo ng Pilipinas,” Marcos had always been an honor student. He graduated with honors in University of the Philippines (U.P.), the national university of the Philippines. He also finished his law studies at U.P. whereas he graduated Cum Laude. He also got the President Quezon Award for his thesis. Marcos did not only excel at academics but he was also one of the top athletes of the aforementioned university.

At the state of Philippines today, I do not think we need more of a motherly leader who is very compassionate, someone perhaps similar to Cory Aquino. I think, at present, what we need most is someone fearless; someone who will say what is really his/her opinions and thoughts about events, people, etc. What we need now is a person that will not say “No comment.” on serious matters, someone who will be very transparent. What we need now is Miriam Defensor-Santiago. What we need now is a leader who can communicate even to the teens of the present generation; a leader who can go with the changes in the world and knows what is in; a leader who knows how to “hugot”; a leader who knows how to draw attention from the people and impart what he/she truly wants to say. What we need now is Miriam Defensor-Santiago. What we need now is a leader who has confidence; a leader who can circulate that confidence and inspire people to move and get things done. What we need now is Miriam Defensor-Santiago. What we need now is a leader who is committed to the work. I think many people are now confused if they will still vote Miriam as president because of her illness.
