The first time I met with Chiz Escudero was in August 2009. There was a bloggers Meet and Greet Chiz Escudero event. I asked him straight out during that first meet & greet, if he was running for the presidency.Without hesitation, Chiz Escudero answered, “yes”.

At the time, I was quite impressed at how determined he was & how confident he was that he can lead the change for our Philippines.

We all know what has happened since then:

  • Cory died.
  • Mar Roxas dropped out of the race, and
  • Noynoy Aquino is now the Liberal Party’s candidate.

Then all of a sudden, Chiz Escudero quit his party, the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC). Like a lot of people, like many of his supporters, I was confused.

So last Saturday (November 7), I attended a bloggers’ meeting with Chiz Escudero at Annabel’s in Quezon City. I was excited to go as I had sooooooo many questions to ask Chiz about his plans on the presidency.

I was expecting to get a concrete answer. To be honest, I was surprised. Last Saturday, I saw a different Chiz from the one who met bloggers last August. I’m not sure if he was acting or if he is just confused at the moment. It wasn’t the same Chiz I got to admire during the first meet.

When I asked him the same question I did during the first meet and greet, about his plans to run, the answer I got was unfortunately, “not sure yet.”

Chiz Escudero said that he doesn’t know and will still need to decide. He mentioned he’ll decide on November 15 and will share with us his decision come December 1.

What changed?
