A photograph of former President Joseph Estrada’s ballot without any vote for vice president has been circulating all over the Web, feeding speculations that he had dropped his running mate Jejomar Binay.
The picture was apparently uploaded by a certain Ernie Sarmiento and has been passed around in social networking sites like Facebook shortly after Estrada cast his votes in San Juan City on Monday.
Rez Cortez, Estrada’s confidant, dismissed the photo as mere intrigue, saying the image could have easily been manipulated and passed around.
The photo fueled talks that Estrada resents Binay being paired with other presidential candidates. Weeks before the election Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Party-list Ang Ladlad began publicly endorsing a “NoyBi” tandem pairing Binay with Liberal Party standard bearer Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.

Bawal mag-picture sa loob ng presinto, bakit meron dun. Bigyan ng leksyon ang mga hindi sumunod. Hindi tama na labagin nila ang batas.
Kung ako rin kay Erap hindi ko iboboto si Binay, hehehe.
Bukod sa labag sa batas, walang prinsipyo yang kumuha, para lang maka-scoop. Nasaan na yung spirit of the law, na ang boto ay sagrado.
At huwag nilang ipapalusot na lantaran naman si Erap. You will note at the start of the video na ipinalalayo ni Maceda yung mga tao. Pero lumapit ang zoom ng camera.
Sino ba ang unang naglaglag? What was all that Noy-Bi business? Magsama si Erap at Mar. Mga sawing iniwan ng partner. Anyway, mag-ex naman silang apat. Ex-tao ni Cory si Binay, ex secretary naman ni Erap si Mar. So nagbalikan lang ang mga ex.
Kung sa showbiz lingo, ginulo ni Chiz ang Love Teams ni Noynoy-Mar at Erap-Binay.
Anong tawag sa mga taong ganito?
Erap was interviewed last night at ANC. He denied the allegation that he junked Binay. (Kaya?)
Kontrabida.
Style Gloria ang ginawa ni Chiz, nanggugulo. Burado na akin itong si Chiz.
I’m disappointed with erap. Kitang kita sa video may nagsabi pa na walang vice…tapos tinignan niya binalewala. He should be happy at least ang lamang niya kay villar kalahati tapos his VP is winning.
Time for Erap to retire matanda na talaga.

Look closely, enlarge the photo. I think Erap filled up only 11 senators instead of 12.
How many are in Erap’s official Senate slate?
Matagal na akong walang tiwala diyan sa Chiz(moso) na yan. Oportunista primera ang nakadikit sa pangalan niyan nuon pa.
Am so sad for Mar and had a fervent wish that he gets it, but it now seems distant. I will feverishly campaign for him nezxt time.
Phil, kulang naman talaga ang slate ni Erap. Mga guest candidates lang sina Miriam, Revilla, Lim, at …
Nagulat ako sa official sample ballots – Villar ang President, Binay ang Vice. Noynoy ang President, Binay ang Vice. Mukhang hindi lang sa Makati at Pasay inilaglag si Mar at pati yung mga dikit sa Malacañang Binay ang ipinapalo.
Napansin ba ninyo ang mga sample ballots ng mga incumbent mayors?
Chiz is a BIIIIG disappointment.
Talaga, tongue? What could be Binay’s/Chiz’ game?
True to his nature, chronic womanizers “deny to death”, huli na nga… 🙂 whats wrong with telling the truth?
Buti pa yung pamilya mo, jug. Erap kung erap, walang atrasan, klaro silang mag-isip meron direksyon. hehehe…just saying. Hindi naman sila nag-iisa sa Mindanao. Heto, hiniram ko kay Inday Espina-Varona:
Erap wins in town named after Ninoy Aquino

SENATOR NINOY AQUINO, Sultan Kudarat (MindaNews) — Joseph Estrada won the Presidential race in this town named after the father of national frontrunner, Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino.
Estrada won 10,118 votes against Aquino’s 2,588; Manuel Villar’s 223; Eddie Villanueva’s 209, Gilberto Teodoro’s 84; Acosta’s 51; Richard Gordon’s 26; Nicanor Perlas’ 22 and Jamby Madrigal’s 4. http://dateline.ph/?p=11207
See, ang tindi pa rin ng love affair ni Erap at Minda. 🙂
i thinks this question is more appropriate:
Did Binay really ditch Estrada as his President?
Nagtagumpay si Chiz sa plano nya ngayon… pero malamang inis o galit ngayon ang lahat o mahigit 12 Milyong tao na bumoto kay Mar…
And I would expect that Chiz’ and Binay’s use of the NOY-BI acronym (ingratiating themselves to the Aquinos) for their own separate campaign… did not also sit well with Erap.
So aside from losing 2016 support from Mar’s supporters, Chiz will also lose support from Erap’s supporters. Plus lost support from Noynoy supporters who had wanted a Noy-Mar tandem to win.
Millions of 2016 supporters right there.
A very strategic blunder for Chiz.
“Talaga, tongue? What could be Binay’s/Chiz’ game?” -chi
I’d say Chiz’ endorsement was way overrated. Too late in the game, isn’t it? It may have convinced only the last few undecideds.
I sense something more sinister that delivered the blow to Mar.
You are right, Tongue.

No ‘gotcha!’ moment for media in Erap’s ballot
by Lourdes M. Fernandez
One may hate Estrada, but it cannot change the fact that ballot secrecy in his case was breached, big-time, and, sadly, with such impunity as to raise the question whether we in the mass media practice a double standard when it comes to respecting constitutional rights. Yes, “impunity,” our favorite word whenever we allude to such heinous crimes against journalists. In the exhausting swirl of election coverage, it’s easy to presume, as I did, that perhaps overeager journalists “forgot” the ballot-secrecy rule and overstepped their bounds. But at the rate this story is being milked all over town, with no one remembering it’s really a fruit of the poisoned tree (the “evidence” is a purloined ballot), perhaps we should all step back and check ourselves.
The episode reminds me of an exchange I once had with former senator Rene Saguisag, whose passion for human rights is beyond question. He was one of the few lawyers who defended us from a slew of libel, contempt and other harassment charges filed against staffers of Joe Burgos’s Malaya. I chided him once why all of a sudden he issued a statement seeming to defend Sen. Ping Lacson from new accusations of wrongdoing. I thought, Rene disdains extrajudicial killings, so…. But he quickly reminded me, “Senator Lacson is as entitled to due process as all of us are. We cannot have two standards here. The same mantle of constitutional protection that shields him is the same mantle I sought to cover you with when you were in the Mosquito Press.”
I shut up and never forgot the lesson there. I hope our colleagues in the media would also stop clapping their hands and saying “gotcha!” For, if truth be told, we committed the crime, not the ballot holder.
