Vilma Santos: Grace Poe ‘ready, willing’ to become president

July 22, 2015 01:56pm

Three-term Batangas governor and actress Vilma Santos-Recto believes that Senator Grace Poe has the track record and the desire to serve the Filipino people should she decide to run for president in the 2016 elections.



"Alam naman natin na she's very efficient and very competent at kung ano man pong balak niya, palagay ko ay meron naman siyang track record na kakayanin niya, at willing siya to really serve our people," Santos-Recto said in an interview on Radyo Inquirer.



(We know that she's very efficient and very competent and whatever position she will pursue, I think she has the track record. She is ready and willing to serve our people.)



Santos-Recto said that while she is supporting Poe on her 2016 plans, she emphasized that the Filipino people will be the ones to decide if the neophyte senator will be the country's next leader.



Poe has kept mum with regard to her 2016 plans, adding that she is still finalizing her decision on whether or not she'll seek higher office.



Meanwhile, the Batangas governor said that whether Poe will run for president or not, it is important that the people will choose a leader who can serve the Filipinos well.



She also emphasized that citizens should cooperate with the government to achieve progress.



"Kung siya man, magiging presidente o lahat ng bagay, ang eleksyon po ay sandali lang eh; ang importante makapili tayo ng leader na masasabi nating na talagang makakapagserbisyo po ng mabuti sa ating (mga) Filipino."



"I think ang pinakaimportante lamang ay teamwork. Kase ang eleksyon sandali lang; at the end of the day, itaas natin ang bansa," the actress-politician said.



(Elections are just brief. What is important is that we can choose a leader who will genuinely serve Filipinos. I think teamwork is important. At the end of the day, we need to cooperate for the country.)



Poe, the frontrunner in pre-election surveys, has met with President Benigno Aquino III on various occasions in the hopes of finding a single presidential candidate from the administration-led coalition.

Palace dream still alive for Miriam Santiago

July 22, 2015 12:16pm

Elated by her high ranking in a presidential survey, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago reiterated anew on Wednesday her desire to run for president in 2016.

Santiago said she was "happily surprised" that she emerged as one of the three top choices for president in a survey conducted by Publicus Asia and published in a news website.

Senator Grace Poe emerged the voters' top choice for president in the said survey followed by Santiago, Vice President Jejomar Binay, Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero, Davao City Mayor Rodolfo Duterte and Local Government Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas.

Santiago noted that all four --- Poe, Escudero, Duterte, and Roxas---are active in government service, unlike her, who has been on leave from the Senate due to stage 4 lung cancer.

Though i would be voting for her if she's in good health, her stage 4 is a loosing case. If ever she runs for president, magaagawan ang mga VP contenders to her as it will be an expressway to the presidency.

NP, NPC go for Poe-Escudero
TYCOONS COJUANGCO, VILLAR FORM ALLIANCE

Billionaires Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco Jr. and Manuel “Manny” Villar are forming a tactical alliance to support the run for President and Vice President of Senators Grace Poe and Francis “Chiz” Escudero in next year’s elections.

Deputy Speaker Giorgidi Aggabao disclosed Wednesday that Cojuangco’s Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) and Villar’s Nacionalista Party (NP) were in the middle of discussions to firm up their support for a Poe-Escudero ticket, which they considered the team to beat.

The NPC would announce its support for Poe and Escudero after August, which most businesses consider a bad time for launching any endeavor, as it is a “ghost month” in the Chinese calendar, Aggabao, NPC president, said.

He said he expected the NP to follow suit if the negotiations panned out.

“We hope to fill a common senatorial slate with the NP,” Aggabao said on the sidelines of a press conference at Gateway Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City.

Wide network

The NPC has a wide political network, with 2 senators, 47 representatives, 14 governors and 22 city mayors.

The NP, which was taken over by Villar in 2003, has 5 senators, 20 representatives and 7 governors.

Earlier, Sen. Vicente Sotto III said the NPC, the party founded by Cojuangco as vehicle for his unsuccessful presidential bid in 1992, was open to supporting Poe and Escudero, both independents, in the 2016 elections.

Aggabao said the NPC-NP senatorial slate would include Sotto and Valenzuela Rep. Sherwin Gatchalian of the NPC and Las Piñas Rep. Mark Villar of the NP.

Villar tagged along with Poe and Escudero on a visit to Koronadal City, South Cotabato, last weekend for the T’nalak Festival, in what was seen as preparation for joining the race for Malacañang.

Independent candidate

As early as May, Sen. Cynthia Villar has been hinting that the NP is leaning toward supporting an independent candidate for 2016 amid reports that Poe is running as an independent.

Villar has also been quoted as saying that NP members Senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Antonio Trillanes IV and Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will have to raise their own campaign funds if they intend to run for higher offices next year.

Aggabao, however, stressed that discussions for a “third force” were dependent on Poe and Escudero deciding to run.

Escudero was a member of the NPC until he quit in 2009.

Poe’s father, the late movie actor Fernando Poe Jr., was a personal friend of Cojuangco.

There was no immediate comment from Poe on Wednesday.

Escudero said he appreciated the two parties’ support.

“I am sincerely thankful for political parties and camps who have expressed support should Sen. Grace Poe and I decide to run in 2016,” Escudero said.

He added, however, that he has not yet decided whether to run.

Still fluid

Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian, a spokesman for the NPC, said talks of an NPC-NP alliance were still fluid, as some NPC members were still lobbying for party support for other candidates, among them former Pangasinan Rep. Mark Cojuangco, Danding’s son who has been vocal in campaigning for the presidential bid of Vice President Jejomar Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).

“But when the party makes a party stand, we expect everybody to toe the party line,” Gatchalian said.

NPC secretary general Leandro Mendoza said that while the party will remain an ally of President Aquino, “[it] will support only the candidates that it will choose and it expects the President to respect [that].”

The President has met with Poe five times since May, but he has failed to convince her to be the running mate of Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, the presumptive standard-bearer of the ruling Liberal Party (LP).

The LP wants Poe to run as Vice President even though she is the front-runner in the presidential race in voter preference polls.

Aggabao said he did not expect the Aquino coalition formed in 2013 to remain intact in 2016 because the LP was firm in its choice of Roxas despite his middling performance in the polls.

Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice of the LP said that with Poe out of the picture, the LP would name Roxas as its standard-bearer.

Iloilo Rep. Jerry Treñas said he expected President Aquino to announce his chosen candidate between July 29 and 31 or before the “ghost” month of August.

Another member of the Aquino coalition, the National Unity Party (NUP), has remained quiet on whether it would support the President’s candidate or another candidate in the 2016 elections.

The members of the administration coalition are the LP, NPC, NP, NUP and Akbayan.–With a report from Leila B. Salaverria

Grace: Noy wants me as Mar?s VP

[dillydally]

Roxas is definitely running for President, alam na natin yan. Given the odds against her, Poe may or may not win if she'll go for this office... One thing sure is, if these two will not run in tandem, the voting population will be divided and the danger there is Binay can definitely use that to his advantage, baka makalusot...

Ang isip ng liberal, grace poe will help mar win if she agrees to be his vp. I think mar won't win against binay if this happens. Grace will surely win vp. Binay will win for prez. To the people questioning Grace Poe's experience, Barack Obama has a similar experience. He was serving his 1st term as senator when he ran and won as president.

So mar has better chance of winning if it's a 3 way fight? [emoji23]

It's a common sense that LP is hoping voters of grace Poe will transfer to mar instead of binay. Which is a high possibility, if you're a Poe supporter would you rather vote for binay than mar if Poe slide down to VP?

[macsd]

Binay will win for prez.

Noggy will never win or be ever president, that's one thing for sure. He will be left by himself sa UNA.
One thing sure is he will land in jail and so is dayunyor & dra.

+1 binay and his una is the third force, and history tells us that no third force has ever won an election. this will be a nacionalista party vs. liberal party.
