Randy David backed out because he knew he cannot win. The kampampangans will ask, what has he done for us during all those years when his wife was a cabinet member of President Erap? Why did he remember his kapampangan roots only now? Where was he during all this time when he was professor at UP?

Those are question Randy would rather not answer which is why he backed out. Panlilio at least worked in Pampanga and lived in Pampanga when he ran for governor. He can truthfully say that he knows what it is like to be a kapampangan. Can Randy David say the same?

When Ting-ting Cojuangco (aunt of Noynoy) was governor of Tarlac, she famously said in an interview that she lives in Makati but also happens to be governor of Tarlac. Such a statement is an insult to Tarlaquenos because she made her governorship of Tarlac akin to a hobby while she undertook cultural and social duties in Makati. Ting-ting lost in the next elections because Tarlaquenos have discovered what Ting-ting thinks about them. This, despite Mikee Cojuangco going door-to-door in Tarlac urging voters to put Ting-ting as governor again.

Filipinos vote wisely when it comes to local politics. It is in the national scale that they are stupid.

“And what would he have accomplished in the end for all his trouble ?”

Soon after Marcos declared martial law, one American official described the Philippines as a country composed “of 40 million cowards and one son of a bitch”; otherwise, he reasoned, they should have risen against the destroyer of their freedom. -from Wikipedia

David could have also proven this US politician and the rest of the world wrong.

He just validated that this little female can make a man’s balls disappear!!!

Fromthe very start, he already knew that PGMA is his opponent and he was said he was ready to face her. Then now, everything change. He’s like most of the militants today. All talk, always blame everything to the government and those UP militants are wasting tax payers money. Why don’t they do something about it? Why not put things in action? He just really chickened out. He knew he will loose but what’s important is by running, he gave a good fight.

Panlililio has the balls while David doesn’t have any. May be he lost it together with his principle.

He is just using his family as his reason to bailout. If he really believes on what is right he would do a Ninoy… “the Kapampangans are worth dying for”

I have a message to all militants… when you go to the streets look at your left and your right. Ensure that the coward David is not with you. I’ll bet my life he’ll chicken out when things go awry.

That makes sense, why legitimize Arroyo’s machinations when it is next to impossible to win against the head honcho of patronage politics who has no qualms using Mafiosi type hired gun to demolish her opponent.

I don’t buy it. Plain and simple, the good professor just chickened out. He was not born yesterday… he knew the risk but why challenge GMA at the first place?

I’m sorry Mr. David but you don’t have my sympathy. You lose face for what you did.

Panlilio has done it on a bigger scale by trumping the ‘trapos’ of Pampanga. So it CAN be done but only if he REALLY wanted to. I do not believe that PGMA will touch David when he runs against her, it is not her style. She is more intellegent than that.

Randy David didn’t run because of cannot. He didn’t run because he doesn’t want to.

And that is a very wise and practical move.

[...] Warrior Lawyer believes the reason why David pulled out is because the latter thinks he can not win. That David believes he stands alone against the entirety of the Arroyo [...]
