Binay Versus Roxas For The Best Job Ever - Vice-President

Things are heating up between vice-presidential bets Jejomar Binay and Mar Roxas.

Accusations of fraud and what not has been slung between the two with no signs of abating

No surprise as the gap between the two is negligible and so it is unsure who will really win the coveted easy seat of Vice-President of the Philippines.

Why do I say it's an easy job?

To my mind the vice-president, at least in our country really does nothing - much. If they do they really don't get that much exposure.

Also, since the vice-president often is from a different party, the president will not be that open to using the VP since he or she does not want the VP to get politically strong and win the the next national election for the other party.

And let's just say there's really no trust because of the different party thing. That's why I wonder why we don't elect both the president and the vice-president as one package - much like in the United States.

But because of the current system, the VP gets to network and be behind the scenes without much concern. He or she gets an on-the-job-training on how to be a president so when the times comes he or she knows what to do and not what to do - especially if the president does something that becomes truly unpopular.

So who ever wins the vice-presidency will, barring any stupid mistakes that can result in political suicide - like vice-president Noli de Castro - most likely be the next president.

So depending on who you want it's either going to be Binay or Roxas.

We just have to wait and see.
