Months away from an election season, the biggest names in Philippine politics are coming out, new names, old
names; fresh faces, old faces. But voters are taking a more serious look at the women in politics and there are
early favourites emerging. There is always interest in seeing women leaders in the country. The country had
voted female presidents - Cory Aquino and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo - in the past and many are wondering if the
country is ready for another female president. So far, there is that possibility with the current attention given on
Senator Grace Poe. Many also hope that more women take seats in the Senate and in the Lower House.
The more popular women in the political scene
are courted and wooed by
political parties.
iyan,
Okay naasado!
