| CEBUROO, Let's wait and see but Marie did not even care to send me his program during the campaign period. |

| Well it seems that it is all over and Mari is the new President. Now is the time for all his opponents (including me) to congratulate him and give him the space, opportunity and the respect he needs to deliver Philippine football where he has promised it should be. He will be watched very colsely by all and sundry. He HAS to deliver on his promises as that is the reason why he has been given this position. Failure to do so will be unacceptable. Is there a complete list of the promises of Mari's and a time frame as to the implementation of said promises. How transparent and fan friendly is Mari going to be. By that I mean will he address concerns of the fans by answering comments in websites etc. Will the PFF have use of a website |

| MJ, Let's just wait for the official results. By this time there are rumors who has won the election. But there are no official announcements yet. Thanks for readin my column and writing some positive comments. |

| Formoso is the man for the PFF Presidency! Football is all about passion, so if Formoso really went to that extent in his campaign then he deserves to be the next PFF President and the MAN to lead Philippine Football from its slumber. Philippines deserve to have a National Team who will duly represent the country in the international stage. Come on let's go for the World Cup...in 5-10 years? |

| Ceburoo, I am have changed so much since the last time you saw me. First I have lost so much hair that I look like you already and secondly I have a larger family now and more responsibilities. |

said:
| Im well Jackie boy thank you. You havent changed much if that is indeed a recent photo. There is now talk that your messiah has also pulled out of the race leaving it all to Mari. Oh boy as they say. . . . only in the philippines. What a mess even if it is still a two horse race. So many conflicting stories still going on and just a few hours from the election. Some things never change. Like you JACK |

| Hi Jack, On the England loss, I was following the game on the internet. It was a terrible loss, considering the keeper made a blunder on the first goal, letting a soft shot slip thru his hands. That is going to be the major issue for Mclaren as he opted to play Scott Carson ahead of Paul Robinson who has been considered the best English keeper for some time now. Anyway, I think England lost their chance way before that Croatia game. Too many draws and that away loss in Russia were the more critical games. All in all, results will decide if you play in the European Championships. It wont matter if you have Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand, Rooney and Beckham on your team. I am really saddened because being a Man Utd fan, Ive also supported the English team. Roy Keane said that the English players are concentrating too much on the Premiership and their body language showed that they werent prepared to give life and limb for their country. Maybe Mclaren could not get the best out of them. A player has to want to play for his coach also. Thats why you have to admire Russia and in a way, Scotland, who although the latter did not qualify, beat France twice and drew their other game with Italy. The Scots were prepared to die for Coach Alex McLeish. And that is why Maclaren was sacked within hours of the Croatia game. For the English, they have to wonder, was it really a good decision to sack Ericsson who had a far more impressive record than Maclaren? Regards, Reddevil |

| I just hope whoever gets the top post in the PFF delivers. not just in making football a more household and mainstream name in the Philippines, but also in bolstering the Philippine National Team. In other news tho, I was shocked by the England loss to Croatia this morning. Is Steve McLaren going? |

said:
| How are you my old friend? Nice hearing from you. I have not heard from Ed until he announced his plan to run for PFF president. Just pray that this election will bring a better PFF for the best of Philippine football |
CEBUROO
said:
| Sounds like the PFF election is unravelling into a non event. I also believe that of the four original contenders I would have had to look outside e square for a suitable president. Its all very well for Ed Formoso to paint a wonderful scenario for the future of Philippine football but what the heck was he doing for all the years when he was involved in the inner sanctum of the PFF. He was their publicist and you could not get any information re the PFF and what they were doing. Now he is clever with his presidential election gimmicks but the past SHOULD come back to haunt him. But given that the Filipino has a short memory (especially when it comes to political promises) Formoso has one foot in the door of the new PFF edifice that is being built to perpetuate te memory of Jonny Romualdez. As for Mari Martinez. Given his past track record of all talk and little substance the future does not look good for the credibility of the PFF for the next four years. I have listened to Martinez on many occasions in the past and he certainly has the gift of the gab but when shove comes to push there was always someone else who prevented him from carrying out his plans. WILL IT BE THE SAME FOR THE FUTURE OF THE PFF AND PHILIPPINE FOOTBALL IN GENERAL. A new broom sweeps clean and unfortunately currently the walis tingting's are not strong enough to sweep away the residue of past regimes. My belief is that it will be the staus quo with the old and the new. Just promising to share the wealth with the provincial associations is not going to change the course of Philippine football. The new adminnistration needs to be strong willed with a definitive vision for the future not a rehash of old and tired ideas. |

| I have tried many time to get in touch with Nonong. But I failed London baya ko based so phone calls are expensive. Mari has not e-mailed me anything so I do not know. A three cornered fight is exciting.-- regards to everyone.. |

| Promises, promises. As we all know promises during elections (esp. in the Philippines) is always flowery. "Lots of good plans up ahead. I'm going to do this, going to do that." Although, these aspirations are great, the real test is bringing them to life. It's really nice, though if we are able to read about the plans of the other 3 - (just read, the last article) make it 2 candidates, atleast we'd know what to expect and what fresh idea, they can inject into the ailing Philippine Football scene. I guess all we can do here at pinoysoccer(since we cant vote) is hope for the BEST!! I hope the next PFF president, would bring life to "The Beautiful Game", here in our beloved country Pilipinas!! |

| Hi Jack, Charlie is backing out of the race for the PFF presidency citing that the PFF is not ready for a major change. I just read an article by Joaquin M. Henson at philstar.com. Well I hope that remaining crop of candidates will make good of the promises they are "dishing" out in their individual campaigns for the PFF presidency. Charlie would have been a good bet, like you mentioned he has the clout, money and power. But he also brings with him the specter of politics. This is both good and bad. But in my opinion politics will always do more harm than good to sports organizations like the PFF. Look what happened to BAP. Anyway that (BAP) is another story. So it is my fervent wish that whoever wins will do their respective best for the greater good of football/soccer in our country. By the way, I like the new layout of this site. Well, I'm always a sucker for dark or black backgrounds (",) More power and wishing you the best. Keep the articles coming. Halong, Erik |

| I got in touch with them but we are not worth of their time. So be it. If only they do not know how many people in RP read this website. By the way Reddevil, I sent already your gift via registered mail. Expect it in a week's time. |

| Hi Jack, Its a pity the other candidates havent responded. I guess they dont know how a simple reply can reach many of the stakeholders thru your coloumn and pinoysoccer (it would actually make a good feature and further drive people to this site, why not float the idea of giving them space for their individual programs here? Just like youtube is doing for the US primaries). Personally I wouldnt know any of them from Adam and wouldnt know who to support. Ive shook Johnny's hand a few times during awarding ceremonies of the tournaments we enter but thats not much is it? I am just inclined to give other guys (aka Martinez and Cojuangco) a chance to run the show since Johnny and company have had their shot. Araneta and Formoso seemingly have close ties with Romualdez. While I am giving my 10 cents worth, I'd like to add that since all of them have some good ideas and have the best in mind for football in the Philippines, the only other values that they should hold dear is transparency and accountability. If they screw up big time (like not sending a Philippine team to a regional event because they either lost or sent the entry form late), sana naman they should have the decency to resign. Wishful thinking? Probably. But it should be like that. Actions speak louder than words. If you show you cant handle the small things than you should have no business being in charge of football development in this country. More power Jack. Reddevil. |
