The Alternative Platform
Even without any experience in governance, environmental activist Nicanor “Nicky” Perlas believes he is equipped to run the country come July 2010. Promising a departure from traditional politics, Perlas lays his cards on the table this Wednesday on ‘Probe Profiles.’ With Probe Profiles’ host Cheche Lazaro, Perlas discusses his track record and main advocacy–the environment–that supposedly make him eminently qualified to be president. He says he is far from being inexperienced, having advised two presidents, senators, congressmen, and Cabinet secretaries in various capacities. But while friends describe Perlas as brilliant, others dismiss him and his theories as out of this world or, to put it bluntly, crazy. Every election harvests a number of nuisance candidates; Perlas, an expert on climate change, insists he is not one of them.

I believe mr. perlas has the ability to govern and i applaud his advocacy in saving our environment. However, the average juan dela cruz does not even know what global warming is so as to know who he is and what he stands for, my point is that maybe it is better to run for senator first, make d people know you through your work. Slowly but surely
