Many people may question me why I support Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva. Well, I think I don’t have to elaborate it but here is a little background of what Bro. Eddie is. He “…was a radical student reformist during the 70’s, professor of economics, finance and political economy in PUP and Christian evangelist that has helped transform the lives of millions of Filipinos here and abroad.” Even until now, he serves for God and not for himself.

14 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,” 15 be sure to appoint over you the king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your own brothers. Do not place a foreigner over… you, one who is not a brother Israelite. 16 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” 17 He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold. 18 When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levites. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees 20 and not consider himself better than his brothers and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:14-20)

That is why, I am officially declaring that I, Blogging Mama, am supporting Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva for Presidency! I believe that there is HOPE for the PHILIPPINES and we need to CHANGE to have that!

This post made my convictions stronger on whom to vote this 2010 Presidential Elections. Please read it!

Last month I wrote a post about Noynoy Aquino’s MTV Ad and I gave my opinion. I still think that the ad was very suggestive that Noynoy is the answer.

Now, I saw the MTV Ad of Bro. Eddie Villanueva, the evangelist from Jesus is Lord Ministries. Just to be honest, I really love the ad because it is directed more in self change and a new Philippines (Bagong Pilipinas) which I am really passionate about. I joined the Ako Mismo Movement because I believe that change should start within us. So the tag line “Eddie Ako” (eh di ako) of the song symbolizes that we should start the new Philippines within us.

I think Bro. Eddie Villanueva would be a great leader because he is. He led Jesus is Lord Ministries for many years now in helping Filipinos know Jesus Christ more and to change within for Christ’s glory.

So, if we are looking for a “lesser evil” in politics to become the president of the Philippines, why not try somebody who FEARS GOD?

Anyway, below is the MTV Ad for Bro. Eddie Villanueva and the lyrics of the song. Hope you enjoy!

Eddie Ako! Official Music Video
Composed by: Paul Armesin
Singer: Gloc 9

I
Umasa kang pagbangon ay posible pa
Pangarap nating araw ay sisiskat na
Pag-asay magniningas sa bagong Pilipinas

II
Buong sambayanan magkapit bisig na
Upang tunay na pagbabagoy magsimula
Sa pag sulong ng bayan, makiisa!

Chorus:
Sino pang may malasakit at pag-ibig sa bansa
Sino pa? Eh di ako!
Kailan mag uumpisa? Magkaisa, kumilos na!
Kailan pa? Eh di ngayon!
Sino pa nga bang gagawa?
Sinong pagsisimulan
Sinong magtataguyod ng bayan ni Juan?
Eh di ako!

RAP by Gloc 9:
Panahon na para sa pag bangon, sa kahirapan lahat ay umahon/
Ngayon ang oras ng pagbabago isang bayan para sa tao/
Kanino ba dapat ang simula/ Ang pag asa ng bayan ay mag mula/
tungo sa pag sulong ang sagot ko kung walang aako
Eh di ako!

Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Cojuangco Aquino III is running for the presidential seat here in the Philippines. With that, many advertisements are being conceptualized for his campaign. One of that is the political MTV ad I saw Noynoy’s policatal MTV ad last week. Honestly, by looking at it I could say that it’s a very expensive ad. The song was sung by Regine Velasquez and it was star-studded by talents from ABS-CBN and GMA, the two major television networks in the Philippines.

If you watch the whole political MTV ad below, you can really see that the ad suggests that Noynoy is the one and many support him.

Well, as for me, I know Noynoy is a very credible political identity here in the Philippines but I also think that he is just being pressured to run for the presidential seat. Anyway, I don’t want to think that Noynoy is just being used by TRAPOS (traditional politician) to run for presidency for their own agendas. Please no!

Oh well, everybody is entitled to their own opinion and this is mine. So please respect it.
