"SAY CHIZ ESCUDERO ON 2010"

CHIZ ESCUDERO
CHIZ ESCUDERO. It must have been his youth and charisma coupled with a prominent family name that were the X-factors that captivated millions and elected this guy into the SENATE OF THE PHILIPPINES last May 2007 elections garnering the second highest number of votes. Now his next target: MALACANANG PALACE! Well this guy has to be taken seriously with his presidential plans though as of this time he has not declared formally his presidential bid because technically speaking he is not yet qualified to run as president until his 40th birhday [constitutional age requirement for a president] on October 10 this year. It’s truly remarkable that at his age, many people considers him to be a presidential timber and obviously has a name recall as proven on the latest opinion survey on leading presidentiables on 2010
by pollster Social Weather Stations placing him side by side with former President Joseph Estrada at third place with 14% of the 7,000 respondents. His legislative performance is also remarkable. He is a recepient of numerous awards from prestigiuos award-giving bodies such as the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines (TOYM) and The World Economic Forum as one of the world’s Young Global Leaders of 2008 . Is he the guy who can champion the aspirations of the youth and the rest of the Filipinos and lead us to a better Philippines? So, who is future President Chiz Escudero?
PERSONAL PROFILE
Francis Joseph Guevara Escudero or Chiz was born on October 10, 1969, and studied at the University of the Philippines from kindergarten to college where he took up law. In 1994, he passed the Philippine Bar and went on to obtain a Masters degree in International and Comparative Law at Georgetown University in 1996.
As a practicing lawyer and teacher, he decided to enter politics in 1998 and was elected Representative of the 1st District of Sorsogon and was voted by his peers as Assistant Majority Floor Leader.
He was re-elected twice and was House Minority Floor Leader during his last term.
His name has national recall, and this was proven by the fact that he nearly topped the senatorial elections in 2007.
Today, he heads the Senate Committees on Justice and Human Rights; Constitutional Amendments, Revision of Codes and Laws; and Banks, Financial Institutions and Currencies.
This man’s meteoric rise into the nation’s consciousness as a leader has earned him several distinctions, including becoming a TOYM (Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines) awardee in recognition of his selfless dedication as a youth leader.
He has not gone unnoticed; in 2007, he was the only Filipino named as Asia News Network’s Asia’s Idols. He has also been honored by the prestigious World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader of 2008 in recognition of his professional accomplishments, commitment to society and potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world.
Just when everyone is asking what more lies ahead for him, here he is consistently leading surveys as the most trusted official of the land with high approval ratings.

Good weblog, just looking around some blogs, appears a pretty nice platform you are using. I am currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours like a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
