MANILA, Phillipines--If and when, filing her certificate of candidacy (CoC) as representative of Pampanga’s second district will not be a problem for President Macapagal-Arroyo because local officials can do it for her.

That’s according to the incumbent, her elder son Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo, who declared Saturday his willingness to forgo seeking a third term to give way to her candidacy.

“You don’t have to file your [CoC]. Allow these mayors, barangay captains to go to the Comelec (Commission on Elections) and file it for you,” the young Arroyo told his mother in a speech at the Heroes’ Hall in Malacañang.

There is loud talk that Ms Arroyo, whose term as President ends on June 30, will file her CoC on or before the Dec. 1 deadline.

On Friday, her election lawyer Romulo Macalintal said she would file her CoC on Dec. 1 if she decides to run, and that she was not required to personally file it.

But Pampanga Auxiliary Bishop Pablo Virgilio David said Ms Arroyo should not seek the congressional post “in the name of decency and for the sake of propriety.”

“I’d appeal to her not to run and to respect the spirit of the Constitution instead of exploiting the letter of the law, which indeed does not categorically prohibit running for lower positions,” David said.

The bishop is a native of Guagua, one of the six towns in Pampanga’s second district, and is a younger brother of University of the Philippines professor and Inquirer columnist Randy David.

Known for his progressive stance, the bishop said his views had nothing to do with his brother’s plan to challenge Ms Arroyo at the polls.

Mikey Arroyo led a contingent of over 200 mayors, barangay captains and other local officials of Pampanga in a call on his mother in Malacañang.

“My dear mother, in your decision-making, my sentiments must be taken as inconsequential. My political future must be brought to the back seat because as public servants, we have sworn to give our all to our country,” he said in a speech.

“Madame President, I believe that the best service I can give to my constituents, whom I’ve grown to love so much, is urging you not to deny them the privilege of being represented by your person,” he said.

The congressman noted the steady stream of farmers, fisherfolk, businessmen, investors and medium-scale entrepreneurs trooping to the Palace “to express their desire that they be given the privilege of being represented by ... a stateswoman with the stature of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.”

“This, Madame President, my mother, will be the best gift of gratitude you’ll be giving them for all their support not only to you, to me, but our ancestors as well,” he said.

I saw it on the news. It was obvious that those "rallysts" are "for hire".

"Lightning rally" my ass. Obvious promotional stunt to make GMA's run for congress look like a "people's request" rather than a desperate attempt to keep some level of political power.
