तेओदोरो इस दंगेरोउस person

In last night's debate of presidential candidates aired on ANC, Gilbert Teodoro came in close second to Noynoy. However his rating may have been different if people really listened well to the substance of what he said, which should have forewarned everyone of the true Gibo, in contrast to his obviously packaged image.
When asked about GMA, Gibo proudly declared, as if it really was virtuous of him, that it would be the height of ingratitude if he would bite the hand, so to speak, of the person who gave him the break. The statement did not really surprise me because it came from a person who lives in a world where favors are dispensed with in order to wield influence over certain people, or where favors are exchanged for their mutual benefits and always to the prejudice of the people whom the profess to serve. What is unfortunate though was how the people and certain pundits even approved of what they heard. It is clear that everyone forgot that this kind of attitude is precisely the root cause of corruption, that even priests would forget about their priestly duties after being beneficiaries of countless favors from certain politicians, that they would refuse even just to open their mouths amidst all the corruption around them, opting to remain tight-lipped, which is precisely what Gibo is doing as far as the administration of GMA is concerned. Gibo's statement tells us about two things, first, that he will not take action against anyone to whom he is indebted, and, that he is willing to dispense favors himself if only to buy the loyalty of anyone. This, the people must understand, breeds corruption and is the source of injustice. The same also leads me to ask this question, if Gibo is really the person that his supporters would always proudly tell us that he is, then why on earth would he be so insecure and seemingly so helpless so as to be beholden to the person who he said gave him the break? Was his topping the bar not enough break for him? Of course I know of many lawyers who barely passed the bar but are better lawyers than the topnotchers. So, what's there to crow about? Finally, he declared that he will convene a so called council of elders. Why, does he not have the confidence to perform the duties of a president even when the same are already clearly spelled out in the constitution, that convening a council is already absolutely unnecessary? Where is the much ballyhooed competence?
