Enrile: All systems go for Erap ‘proclamation rally’
GMANews.TV – Sunday, October 18
It’s “all systems go” for former President Joseph Estrada to bare his ticket for the 2010 elections in a proclamation rally at his roots in Manila’s Tondo district on Wednesday.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, a member of Estrada’s Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), said Saturday Estrada will present Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay as his running mate.
“Ia-announce ang kandidatura pati ang sino ang maging bise nya at ang mga kandidato niya for senator (Estrada will announce his intention to run, and introduce his running mate and his senatorial ticket),” Enrile said in an interview on dwIZ radio.
“Proclamation rally ‘yan for the party (It will be a proclamation rally for the party),” he added.
But Enrile indicated some of Estrada’s senatorial bets, including his own son Senate President Pro Tempore Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, may not be around for the October 21 event.
He said the younger Estrada will lead the Senate delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Geneva October 19 to 21.
Enrile said other PMP senatorial bets may include himself, Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, Grace Poe, and Jose de Venecia III.
Sen. Miriam Santiago, who ran for senator under the K-4 administration banner in 2004, will run as a “guest candidate,” he added.
“Halos kumpleto na except one, ang 12 slots yata (The senatorial lineup is almost complete, it just lacks one more),” Enrile said. - GMANews.TV
Indeed election is coming up. The rights of the people will once be tested. Candidates for the next election are all showing up and there platforms and promises are once again boggling the minds of the people. Who to choose? Will this be done? Who am I going to vote? Indeed this event, elections, is a great opportunity for the people to use their rights of control over the government that is always been theirs. I would just want to get this opportunity to tell the people that if you are in the right age, 18 above, please register for the incoming election. The last day is until Oct 31, 2009. Think of it this way if you don’t vote you have no rights of judging the people in charge, which are the once being voted, of whatever they are doing over you and over every other person in your country. Voting is your right and with such you can control the future that it is for you and to all of your relatives in this nation. Your vote can be the start of the change you wanted and the change that would make your lives and other peoples’ lives better. You together with the millions of voters in this country can choose who you want to lead you in this country, our country, our country that is worth dying for. Remember your vote counts and your vote can change your future.
