Ding Gagelonia reports in his blog, At Midfield, that the Villar-Legarda tandem for 2010 is already a done deal. According to his article, both parties will field a full slate from President to all 12 slots of the Senate. Ding goes on to explain that his sources say that this wasn’t something that they planned on. This was really something brought about by Senator Chiz Escudero leaving the NPC.
If I may quote:
My sources said “the event planners of NP standard bearer Villar wants to properly project the ticket as the alternative choice of voters against the perceived front-running tandem of SENATORS Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas.”
“NPC’s decision to finally link up with the NP was forced upon it by the surprise break-away last week of Sen. Francis ‘Chiz’ Escudero that left the NPC without a viable presidential standard bearer,” my sources explained.
Another source meanwhile said it had long been known that Sen. Legarda “was actively exploring talks to team up with either Sen. Villar and even Lakas-KAMPI-CMD standard bearer Gilbert Teodoro while insisting she was committed to pair with Sen. Escudero.”
“Her machinations have now borne fruit with Ms. Legarda fully shedding her posturing as being part of the political opposition against the highly unpopular Arroyo regime,” my sources told me.
“The Villar-Legarda ticket also shows Legarda’s party, the NPC of tycoon Eduardo ‘Danding’ Cojuangco revealing its true stripes as a traditional political party imbued not with a reformist agenda but one of ready accommodation with whomsoever protects its politically-sensitive business concerns.”
In terms of money, this has got to be the most well-funded ticket if ever this pushes through. Imagine the war chest of Villar combined with that of Danding’s? Scary thought.
