The current results of the SWS Survey showed us names of potential political figures that people deem fit to succeed GMA, who we hope would have the decency to step down at the end of the term. I came to notice a prominent name that still pops up. At first I was surprised but then I realize it was just natural that former President ERAP Estrada still got 13% from the survey. Given all the negative issues thrown at him, we could still see that people supports him and believes in him.
We can never deny the fact that ERAP is still a formidable candidate. People still views him as viable leader in our country. Being that leader can denote a lot of things. But the same truth remains: ERAP still has the support of the people. I was wondering why. Then I realized many things could be attributed to this phenomenon. I could start with one.
I remember those days when ERAP ordered the camps of Muslim rebels to be seized. The all-out-war gave us a sense of security in Mindanao during his time. We saw how the government troops pushed the rebels out of their comfort zones. With the way our current government handles the conflict in Mindanao, I could only say two things:
1. ERAP had the political will that is imperative for any leader to cause change
2. GMA lacks that political will to have positive results
