Nicanor Perlas

Wala kasing commercial sa Radyo at TV.  At  di rin umeeksena sa mga debate.  So bigyan natin ng chance na makilala si Nicanor Perlas - nahuhuli sa lahat ng surveys. 

Interesting kasi, tinawag siya ni Conrado de Quiros (ng Inquirer) na pinakamatalino sa lahat ng  presidential candidates.
