MANILA, Philippines--Former President Fidel Ramos has yet to choose his president for the coming elections.

"We are now in the process of making judgments and all the presidential and wannabe candidates are facing the public to convince them. We have a month and a half to make up our minds," Ramos said in an interview at the sidelines of the 24th anniversary of the People Power.

Ramos said that he would possibly announce his choice for president by the end of March or by the first week of April.

He said that based on public appearances of candidates in debates, almost all candidates are merely giving motherhood statements.
"Puro motherhood statements pa lang ang napapakinggan ko. Walang tumutok sa problemang pangmatagalan like kakulangan sa tubig (I’ve only heard motherhood statements. No one has focused on long-term issues like water lack)," Ramos said.

Nevertheless, he called on the public to "vote wisely."

"We must all vote wisely. Wag tayong madadala sa infomercials, dapat yung kakayahan ng lahat values, character ang titignan (Let’s not be swayed by informercials. Let’s look instead for capability, values and character),’’ Ramos added.
