Election time is fast approaching and the political aspirants have fastened their seat belts for what could be a bumpy and interesting ride. On the driver’s seat at the moment is Noy-Noy Aquino, the only son of two revered political figures, Cory and Ninoy. He is travelling on automatic transmission, counting on the hope that his parents’ popularity, celebrity friends and popular sister will automatically translate into votes for him and propel him to the finish line within the portals of Malacanang. He has many navigators telling him what to do and where to go. His fast start brought the yellow fever into the forefront of the surveys. Gibo on the other hand is his own man and is driving on a manual transmission. He exerts effort in order to gain maximum speed. But just like any other race, it’s not how you start but how you finish it. While Noy-Noy is basking in his present lead, he fails to recognize the fact that automatic transmissions exhaust gas faster than stick shifts. Soon, his supply will be exhausted and his run will come to a turtle pace. Manual transmissions require focus, skills, and attention to details; characteristics that are embodied by Gilberto Teodoro. His start may not have been as fast as Noy-Noy’s, but he is certainly gaining speed and ground. He will soon take over and when he reaches the finish line, he and his green team composed mostly of young minds who believed in his capabilities and who worked hard to ensure that victory will be gained, will celebrate with the entire nation. And when the bottles of champagne will be uncorked at the victor’s stage, the world will surely take notice. With Gibo at the driver’s seat, there is no need for a navigator. He knows where to go and how to get there on time. That’s cool enough for me.
