Hon Miriam Defensor is suited for the position as a Chief Justice because she possess a personality to stand what is right, strong and always do for the welfare of the people. She is well versed of the Constitutional Law.

It is a right time to choose her for we need a person like her in experience and already been a public servant for a long time.

May God Bless You Always Hon. Miriam Defensor Santiago.

Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago is a good example in the world of law. She has a superior character to trounce the reign of evil in the Philippine political system. I believe that the warrior Lawyer deserves to be in the supreme power of the country’s politics. What I am trying point out is that my idol, Miriam, has a big chance to set down on the president’s throne. I ambition that on 2010 presidential election she will run the presidential race. If she will be the president of the Phil., I myself believe that she can make our nation best in terms of solving the rise of economic sabotage.
She has the sardonic sense of humor to kick buff those who are practicing vices. Go! Sen Miriam we will support your moves.

we want Estrada’s comeback. And, that is in the person of Jinggoy. He (Jinggoy) has charisma that could catapult the overwhelming sympathy of the masses like his father, Erap. Go! Jinggoy! We have proven you on your performance in the Senate.

I’m not sure if Miriam possesses the necessary temperament to be a justice of the Supreme Court or president of the country. Anyone who resorts to personal ad hominem attacks calling a fellow public servant “fungus faced” or those who disagree with him or her as less than a human being (i.e. species of lower life forms) does not posses the detached objectivity that is a must for an effective public servant. Imagine a Supreme Court justice or a chief justice or a president who resorts to name-calling. Aside from diminishing himself or herself as well as the office to what other type of abuse will he or she resort to to express displeasure at the opposition? Is there potential to resort to grave injustice or great oppression? Yes. That is why it is very important to vet our public officials very seriously. Their public temperament will give us one clear sign how well or ill they will serve us once we give them power.

I realize though that many people are impressed with Miriam’s credentials. That’s understandable in our country. Not many in the Philippines have achieved what Miriam has achieved in terms of academic accomplishments and the extent of her public career. But I seriously doubt that Miriam currently posseses the required temperament for an impartial judge nor the pleasant public persona, psychological acuity and gravitas of an effective president of the republic.

I’m not at all offended that Miriam did not get an ICJ seat. In fact, I’m glad. I could only imagine how much damage Miriam could add to the already damaged image of our country. One outburst of anger, a spark of lunatic interval, a lack of verbal restraint or self-control or an insult to a fellow UN official or an air of superiority, each or any will give the international perception, at the very least, that the Philippines is a country of incompetent comedians on top of being one of the most corrupt.

Miriam should take this advice: Revive your own political machinery-the Peoples’ Reform Party. Tap the youth, the student leaders, the general electorate force, the “masa” and the grassroots, cetainly you will beat Villar or Noli in 2010. More than a year mobilizing is quite a longer period. If Obama made it, no reason for you as well. We, the youth are just waiting your return in the presidential race…
