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. Marcos is an individual who stands out in diverse fields. He finished his military studies with honors and was given an opportunity to teach military science in U.P. He was also an article writer in the official school paper of U.P., the Philippine Collegian. Marcos also excelled at being an orator.

To be able to gain the trust of his/her fellow Filipinos, he/she must be fearless. 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 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. I think the fact that she is still willing to run for presidency despite her illness is a very strong reason to vote for her because I know
