I vote for Leni. No need to convince me.

ow would I decide who to vote for president?

By not choosing among the candidates running for president.

Leni Robredo is my president, but I didn’t select her from any field of candidates The truth is I made up my mind that she would be my president in the next election when she won as vice-president.

This is why I am stress-free today. I don’t follow the news about who ELSE is running for president. I already know who they are. Declaring their candidacy for president didn’t change them one bit. I wouldn’t even consider them then, why would I even bother to think about them now?

I’m not interested in their accomplishments. I don’t care about their pedigree.

No one has to campaign for Leni Robredo with me. You don’t have to tell about anything about her, I have watched her through the years myself.

What about the others? I hardly paid any attention to them—or to any of their juvenile antics. I was paying attention to Leni Robredo, allowing myself to be convinced that she would make a good president.

I am convinced, and if they cut the campaign period to one day, I wouldn’t be scrambling to find out as much as I can about her in so limited a time. I had all the time I needed to find out everything I wanted to know.

Leni Robredo is genuine.

But how would I know that?

Let me put it this way. There are countless samples of counterfeit money, each one impressive than the rest in one aspect. But you can always make out that they are counterfeit by one tell-tale sign or another. One counterfeit bill doesn’t have a clear watermark. Another has it but its tint is too bluish. One has no security thread. A really fine sample had those security threads but they are surface-bonded instead of sandwiched within the paper itself.

Counterfeit experts spend years and years studying every new counterfeit variant that comes out. They could barely keep up with counterfeiters who come up with newer, more sophisticated and more convincing forgeries every year, some years even more frequently than two or three times. It’s a cat-and-mouse game between counterfeiters and forgery detectives.

Unfortunately, despite all the years of training and research, forgery detectives occasionally miss one. The best forgery detective can still get fooled.

But not bank tellers. And their training lasts only a few weeks. You can never pass a counterfeit bill past a bank teller. Why is that?

For weeks, these bank tellers study the features of GENUINE bank notes. They waste no time studying fakes. But they get so good at recognizing genuine money that they can spot a fake in seconds..and in high heels.

I only studied Leni Robredo. I know all her presidential qualities. I did not waste time studying the other clowns.

So, I take one look at some singing, dancing, fake-crying, baby-kissing, clenched-fist-raising, thumbs-up flashing, moon-and-stars-promising, bombastic declaiming, flagwaving, selfie-taking, autograph-signing, money-giving, gun-toting, corny joking, celebrity name-dropping, endorsement bragging and phenomenally-boring speaking “anointed presidential candidate”---and I can spot that motherhood-speaking FAKE in one second flat.
