Thaksin and Manny Villar

January 10, 2010

 Last Thursday I got to watch a favorite noontime show of mine  when  one of those time-eating commercials got my attention. It was Nacionalista Party’s Presidential bet Manny Villar’s polcom. (before anything else, Im not in any way an avid supporter of him, nor got paid by him, ok) I noticed how Villar looks like, the shape of his face and his eyes. I suddenly remembered  another successful politician based in Thailand who later became one of the most well-known and wealthiest persons there- Thaksin Shinawatra. Now wonder why? Don’t they look pretty much the same?

And sure thing they have great similarities in terms of their success factors. They’re both businessmen- Thaksin as a telecom power and Villar is mostly known in the housing and real estate industry . Thaksin pulled out Thailand from real poverty when he assumed office as Prime Minister last from 2001-2006.  Villar on the other hand has served most of his political years as a Senator and is very much willing to continue serving the country, this time, as the head of state.

See their pictures and dare to compare!
