Grace Poe and Taiwan

I knew Grace Poe-Llamazares had a good head on her shoulders, as well as a heart, when I first met her at a Bulong Pulungan media forum while she was still chair of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
But listening to her interviews with TV anchors on the day after the elections, I was even more impressed. Despite her stunning win, overtaking Sen. Loren Legarda in first place in the senatorial tally despite Legarda’s dominance in all preelection surveys, Grace sounded humble and sober, and, as she told her interviewers: “Grateful that I am just included among the winning 12.”
She may have been euphoric at her unexpected victory—she was in fact hosting a celebration with her family during one interview—but when asked to what, or whom, she owed her win, she took the time to frame her words carefully, and give a sober, level-headed reply.
Grace took time to thank those who helped her in the campaign: Team PNoy campaign manager Sen. Serge Osmeña and fellow candidate Sen. Chiz Escudero. She conceded that her TV ads, especially the latter one that featured her with her mother Susan Roces, were effective in introducing her to the populace and framing what people called her “narrative.”
But she reserved her highest praise for the legacy and memory of her late father. Apparently, she told the media, voters bought her line that she would continue the promise frustrated by his defeat when he ran for president, and then cut short by his early demise. And indeed, it seems that the people have given Grace the love and respect and admiration they reserved for “The King.”
