First off, just today I went to Eddie Viilanueva’s campaign site at broeddie2004.com and none of the links work. You have links about his different views, including a political platform, but none brings you anywhere. Perhaps this portends the kind of presidency Bro. Eddie will have: a facade of good and “righteous” governance but with no substance that leads to nowhere.

Ok, ok, so it just might be the error of the webmaster. But the least thing his gung-ho people can do is check the links of an important undertaking such as a Web site, which can be viewed globally. Unless, of course, the good preacher doesn’t care much about Net denizens (who number in the millions, by the way).

Moreover, his Web site mirrors his candidacy. Like FPJ he’s a reluctant candidate, prodded perhaps by his ego when fellow pastors endorsed him as a “righteous” leader who can “save” the country from its present ills. And this is what I’m genuinely afraid of; someone running with a messianic motivation (or should I say, ‘complex’?). He did, after all, admit that God told him to run.

I’m not saying he won’t be a good president. He probably will. He might even be able to truly harness God’s power and bring the Philippines out of her doldrums. But he must learn to wield political, social, religious balance so he can first earn the trust of a majority of his countrymen and unite a divided nation.

Saying that God told him to run is hardly a good beginning to his campaign. It isolates too many people and raises too many questions.

Thus saith me.
