MANILA, Philippines – Former Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon has joined the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) in preparation for his mayoralty bid for the city of Manila in the May 2010 election.

Valenzuela Representative Rex Gatchalian, NPC spokesman, confirmed Razon’s leap to the party, describing this as a “first major step” towards winning the post.

“We welcome with open arms former police Director-General Avelino Razon to the NPC fold even as we know that he brings with him the conviction to really serve and improve the lives of the people especially in Manila.” Gatchalian said in a statement.

After retiring from the PNP, Razon was appointed presidential adviser on the peace process on January this year. He quit his post on October 10.

Gatchalian said Razon would be a “good addition” to the party headed by business tycoon Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco.

“What General Razon brings to the table is his integrity, professionalism and the genuine desire to serve the people,” Gatchalian added.

Razon is expected to go up against incumbent Mayor Alfredo Lim, vice mayor Isko Moreno, and Environment Secretary Jose Atienza, who has reportedly joined the party of former president Joseph Estrada.
Quezon City Representative Mary Ann Susano bolted the administration party Lakas-Kampi-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) to join the NPC.
Susano was eyeing the mayoralty seat against incumbent vice mayor Herbert Bautista. Former chief of staff Michael Defensor was also reportedly running.
“Our party will continue to get stronger as we expect more defections from other parties in the coming weeks as we gear up for next year’s national elections” Gatchalian said.
The NPC is expected to formally announce its standard-bearer and complete slate in the next few weeks. Gatchalian said the party was still choosing between Senators Francis Escudero and Loren Legarda for its presidential candidate

Dami palang tatakbo para sa mayoralty post ng Manila, tulad nila Avelino Razon, Alfredo Lim, Isko Moreno at Joselito Atienza Para sa mga taga Manila,sino ang iboboto niyo?

If he can get rid of the growing squatter colonies around Binondo, he'll get my vote!

Atienza now with Erap's party? Sino pambato ni Pandakekok sa Manila?

Politics nga naman........

Ret. Gen Razon had a decent record as PNP chief. I think he can do the job.

Enough with the "old fart" Lim, showbiz guy Isko, and the "turncoat" Atienza. Manila needs a real leader. Grabe na kasi ang mga ILLEGAL sa lungsod na ito.

[Lucius]

Isko? Please. He has already lost millions in poker.

[claRkEnt]

Razon? sya ba yung kasali sa cover-up sa supposed kidnapping ni Jun Lozada? tama ba ako?

if he is, then he's somewhat shady.

Dapat nga tinuluyan na si Lozada

[alvin708]

kawawa naman mga taga manila. walang decent candidate, we have trapos, executioners etc...

[Stoner]

With the current crime rate, the executioner route seems mighty tempting...

[Meister001]

Mayor Lim na lang pero sana meron pa ibang masmaganda na candidato.

Si Pacman kaya?

[Zeus]

Di lang executioner, dapat yung kayang idisiplina ang mga jeepney drivers, pedicab drivers, vendors pati na mga nagiinuman sa kalye

[boybi]

Malambot yata si Mayor Lim ngayon?

[Lucius]

Malambot yata si Mayor Lim ngayon?

Tumatanda na kasi

[Monseratto]

Malambot yata si Mayor Lim ngayon?

Ever since na lumabas na may anak siyang druggie at naka laya under dubious circumstances. You don't see him running his anti-drug campaign which included spraying alledged pusher kasi mukha na siyang isang hypokrito.

Malambot yata si Mayor Lim ngayon?

Walang discipina pa rin mga jeep at vendors e, chismis may protector daw na mga pulis kaya ganyan e

hindi tsismis yan bro, isang nagdudumilat na katotohanan yan

[number001]

Definitely I will never vote for Lim.

Stupid daily traffic mess he created in (all the way fr. Quiapo to) City Hall area by opening that intersection right before lagusnilad.

Also noticed he kept on installing these substandard and ill fitting (design wise) street lights all over (even alongside Atienza's).

I don't notice any progress when he's around. Perhaps Lim should take a cue from Dutuerte if still he's (lim) interested with his dirty harry image.

Alam nyo trabaho ng mga pulis? Ikot ikot gamit ung mobile nila, syempre todo aircon yan. Ikot ikot pa hanggang sa mapagod. Tigil sa isang tabi. Ung isa tulog muna sa loob. Ung isa yosi. Tapos na duty uwi na. Manila's Finest.
