“NO MATTER what the Social Weather Stations and Pulse Asia say about Sen. Dick Gordon being the tail-ender in their surveys, he is the most qualified of all the presidential candidates. Popularity is not a gauge of a candidate’s qualification for the job of running the country. If accomplishments and leadership are to be the bases for choosing a president, Gordon would be first with former Defense Secretary Gibo running a far second. The rest of the candidates would be considered also- rans. But then Filipino voters are still politically immature.” Ramon Tulfo Columnist Philippine Daily Inquirer January 13, 2010
