For Villar, it will be the controversial C-5 road extension where he allegedly benefited from the government’s road extension project. And for Noynoy, it will be the Hacienda Luisita estate and the harsh dispersal that lead to a massacre of farmers that happened a few years ago.
In fact, both candidates have already been hounded by issues ever since they ran for the presidency. Even if you think that it is jut another propaganda brought by those against them, the fact that both issues actually happened and were not “fully” resolved will remain a thorn on their campaign.
How can these two candidates, who’ve been at each other’s throats in the elections, be in the top of the surveys? Even before running the campaigns, their names have already been under the mud, without any solutions to clean it. Even if their names are cleared, there will still be a small smudge that will remain. Can we leave it to them to run our country?
I also do not believe the two's statements regarding their issues. It's impossible for Villar not to have known that the road extention will pass through his land, let alone benefiting him.
On Noynoy's part, he said he will sell the hacienda to the farmers when he becomes president. Why wait to become president if he can do it right now? I believe he will do what his family did and prolong the issue indefinitely. He doesn't really want to sell the land, he's only saying that to get more votes.
Why choose these people if you could choose other candidates like Richard Gordon who doesn't have any dirt to his name. Even from his track record alone, Gordon can beat the leading presidentiables. Competency is not a question unlike those leading in the surveys.
I know many people are scared of voting for candidates like Gordon because they think their votes will be wasted from a candidate who has a lesser chance of winning, but if we change that thought, people like Gordon might have a fighting chance.

Gordon also has his fair share of issues. He's called a puppet of the Americans because the bills he passed are pro American military in the Philippines.
