'I've earned it,' he asserts as new org gets Ilonggo members
Of all the reported presidentiables come 2010, Senator Richard "Dick" Gordon wants the voting the public to know that he and he alone is the most qualified. In fact, asked on said much-publicized reports, the Senator has a ready and quick response – "I've earned it."
Such formed part the answers of Senator Gordon in a press conference Sunday. With series of questions primarily raised on his supposed sure candidacy, Gordon used the opportunity to lay down his credentials.
More than two decades of executive work and management, he said that dated back to his years as delegate to the 1971 Constitutional Convention. Such followed suit by his years in public office as mayor of Olongapo City.
"Let the good times roll," Senator Gordon said in jest while adding that until the decision is reached, his concentration for the moment remains on his Senate work.
Yet while at it, rounds are being made nationwide to launch Gordon's group cum movement called "Bagumbayan."
An apparent move to set up mass-bases all over the country, Senator Gordon only has the highest of hopes and praises for the group and ideals set forth by it.
"If the country is corrupt, it is because most of us allow it… Bagumbayan will change that. Our time, our change... that is what we are here for. We are the change that we want to be," he said.
Flyers distributed to the media calls on membership "open to all Filipinos from all walks of life. No ifs, no buts. If you can commit yourself to our covenant to change this nation from what it is to what it can be, and if you can believe in yourself and your community to make that change happen, then Bagumbayan and its ideal are yours."
Among those present with Senator Gordon were former city councilors Mandrei Malabor and Rolando Dabao. Also seen were former Iloilo City Liga president, Marietta Orleans and former Iloilo City Mayor Mansueto Malabor.
