Perlas, Danny Lim make it to official list of candidates in May polls

by Andreo Calonzo, GMANews.TV

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Thursday approved the candidacies of environmentalist Nicanor Perlas and detained former Army general Danilo Lim, reversing an earlier decision excluding the two from the official list of candidates in the May 10 national elections.

Through Resolution 8743, the Comelec en banc announced that presidential aspirant Perlas and Liberal Party senatorial bet Lim have been included in the final list of candidates for the elections.

Perlas’ entry in the presidential rase raises the number of candidates vying for the highest electoral post in May to nine.

Other presidential candidates who were earlier deemed qualified by the Comelec are Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III (Liberal Party), John Carlos “JC” Delos Reyes (Ang Kapatiran), Joseph M. Ejercito Estrada (Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino – UNO), Sen. Richard J. Gordon (Bagumbayan), Sen. Maria Ana Consuelo “Jamby” A.S. Madrigal (independent), Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.(Lakas-Kampi-CMD), Eddie C. Villanueva (Bangon Pilipinas), and Sen. Manuel B. Villar Jr. (Nacionalista Party).

Lim, meanwhile, adds to the list of 58 senatorial candidates for this year’s polls. He is currently detained at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame facing rebellion charges before a civilian court and mutiny charges before a military tribunal.

Both Perlas and Lim were earlier disqualified by the Comelec from running in the upcoming polls due to their alleged inability to launch nationwide campaigns. – RSJ, GMANews.TV

  1. Perlas and Lim will just take votes away from NoyNoy, won’t they?

  2. chi chi

    How could Lim take away votes from Noynoy e senatorial ang laban niya, while Noy2 is a presidential candidate? As to Perlas, he can take away votes from all presidential candidates, even from C-5-Taga Villar.

    You-re misleading the readers or have not read Ellen’s topic at all, tb.

    tingog? (voice)? you are sending the wrong message…Gen. Lim is a senatorial candidate..independent….while NoyNoy is a Presidential candidate…please understand fully..
    Perlas maybe taking away votes for NoyNoy because he too is a presidential candidate…but that is democracy, isn’t it..
    and it is the voters rights to vote for their candidate..again, please understand fully..

    tingog:
    sa Binasaya (kung Bisays ka) si Noynoy ay candidato sa pagka Presidente, si Gen. Lim ay candidato para mag senador.. si Perlas ay candidato sa pagka presidente man..magpili ka lang kung sin-o ang gusto mo…

    tingog boss, it1s not perlas and lim that will take away the vote of noynoy.
    it will be the group of garci people in the comelec, so let us all vigilant and guard this henchman of GMA ( je-em eh..!!) before again they make a big surprise on the filipino people..!! this time let as be awake and united againts the evil minions of GMA..(puno, norberto gonzales, and all the pma class of 78 who are now in position to do the NO-EL .. GOD bless our country..!!

  7. it is not perlas and lim that will take away the vote of noynoy. it will be the group of garci people in the comelec… – ocayvalle

    Include also the bluster and arrogance of fanatics.

    Villar (openly) and Gibo (silently) are maintaining an organized anti-Noynoy assault across all media platforms, the latest ones in the net fora, blogs and all social networking sites. It is not surprising that you will read verbose arguments word-for-word in Ellen’s blog as they were written in many Facebook/Multiply/MySpace entries. The sad part is that Noynoy’s followers cannot distinguish which comments come from constructive critics and which come from paid hacks.

    Kawawa ka naman TB, hindi naman ganoon ang tono ng sinabi mo kundi nagtatanong ka lang naman, naputakti ka na. Pasensiya ka na at ang unsolicited advice ko saiyo next time make your question mark at the end in big bold print para makita nila.

    I think TB is telling us a story about a possible repeat of special forces that carted away the ballot boxes from the reclamation or their contents once upon a time.

    About Perlas, “no chance” is all i could say, especially after his showing at “Harapan” at UST.

    chi:oo nga eh na frozen ata ang mood ko..kasi Tgrrr Manang! but I guess it is much colder where you are…

  13. christian christian

    Gen Danny Lim is very much qualified to run for senator, on the other hand Perlas will just be wasting his or other people’s time and money

  14. Perlas knows that he doesn’t have a chance to win among the heavyweights.Gusto lang ibandera ni Perlas ang Political party niya katulad kay JC Delos Reyes.

    Gen.Lim may have a chance to be elected a senator.

    Noynoy is definitely the winner in an honest May 10,2010 election, villar is trying to catch up, but all his TV and radio ads,can not cover up the dirt of his C5 scam, double insertion scam, Capitol bank bankruptcy,etc and most of all, the truth that villar is the real candidate of gma, villar will suffer the KISS OF DEATH !
    Mabuhay si Noynoy!

  16. Aren’t you glad I made mistake so you can be a schoolteacher preacher, heh heh heh.

    Gov’t workers na may ‘katok’ pinasusuyod

    Ito talagang mga nasa Malakanyang inilalayo pa ang paghahanap samantalang mismong silang mga nasa palasyo ang mga may topak at katok sa ulo.

  18. All this hullabaloo…
    If FPJ who was a lot more popular than Noynoy coudn’t win over Gloria, how could Noynoy win now?
    Noynoy winning could be an act of God already…but its worth trying anyway…

    “Noynoy is definitely the winner in an honest May 10,2010 election” – christian

    Sa malinis o marumi man ang eleksyon, walang katiyakan na panalo sa pampanguluhan si Noynoy. Ito’y nang dahil sa kaganapang “Hacienda Masaker” at sa “Mendiola Masaker” na nakatitik sa kanyang noo. KUNG… ang pangunahing progama ng LP at mismo ni Noynoy ay yaong Tunay na Repormang Agrayo at Programang Pangkaunlarang Agrikultura, marahil, may pagkakataon, na si NOYNOY ay manalo.

    Hinggil kay Ka Danny, ang kanyang pagsabak sa senado ay ikalawang panukatang-panawagan para sa pagbabago, ito’y paghamon sa sambayanan, kung siya’y matalo, ito’y hustifikasyon sa kabiguan ng kaganapan Nobyembre’07 nang siya ay manawagan ng pagbabago’t pag-unlad. Kung siya ay manalo, nawa’y mai-konbert ang positibong puwersa ng taong-bayan sa pagsasakamit ng pagbabago’t pag-unlad

    Sa munting-pananaw, bagamat kulilat si Bro. Eddie, maaring makuha niya ang panguluhan, dahil siya’y mayroong nang captured votes. Samantala; nariyan parin ang nakakaraming class E/D na maaring manatili sa karisma ni ERAP.

    Ganunpaman, ang eleksyong 2010 ay isang bagong-anyo ng prosesong elektoral, una’y sa pagpapatupad ng Awtomisasyon; ikalawa’y, ang pagbabalik ni Erap, na may bahid ng paghihiganti; ikatlo, si GMA na patuloy na nagnanais na manatili sa kapangyarihan; ika-apat, sa muling paghaharap ng dalawang reaksonaryong partidong politikal na LP at NP; ikalima, mula sa kanan at kaliwang politikal ispektrum, halos lahat grupong politikal at rebolusyonaryong kilusan at indibidwal man ay lantarang sumasabak sa elekyong 2010′, higit rito’y ang CPP/NPA/NDF na naging reaksyonaryong puwersa, sa kanilang pakikipag-alyansa sa NP.

    Kung sino sa mga kandidatong pampanguluhan na maaring pumasok sa top 3, marahil, sina Bro. Eddie, Erap at … hulaan ninyo, kung sino pa.

    Ganunpaman, “may pag-asa pa sa kawalan ng pag-asa”, nawa’y maging tunay at ganap ang bawat isang Pilipino sa pagiging isang ganap na TAO, na may pagpapahalaga sa kapwa-TAO at sa kapwa-Pilipino, at para sa Bayan at para sa Diyos.

    Sa pagpapatuloy ng Dakilang Rebolusyong 1896!!!

    sa takbo ng processo ng halalan natin ngayon be it automated or mano mano mukhang mahirapan si Noynoy..pero kung matalo siya he should thank God for spaing him from sakit ulo..and for those who are against him..thank God for sparing the country from an “ignoramus (?), autistic (?), President? patay na ba si Valentin de los Santos? kaya lang ang hirap nito baka gutom ba rin at mahirap pa rin ang bayan regardless of who wins…
