These are the political alliances shaping up for the 2016 presidential elections.
Sources said Roxas and Binay both wanted Sen. Grace Poe as running mate but the lady senator feels she is not ready yet to run for a higher position in 2016.
The Mar Roxas and Chiz Escudero ticket is the handiwork of President Aquino, several sources said.
Both Roxas and Escudero, gave up their long-harbored presidential ambitions in 2010, to give way to Aquino, whose candidacy came after the death of his mother,former President Cory Aquino, in August 2009.
Sources said Roxas is reluctant about teaming up with Escudero, who endorsed Binay for president in the 2010 elections. But he has no choice given his low popularity rating. He needs Aquino’s endorsement.
Although there are some members of the Liberal Party who do not give Roxas a good chance of winning in the 2016 elections, his supporters resort to mathematics to show otherwise.
“Whoever the President will endorse, the power of the President’s endorsement is lethal. It is effective and that’s the reason why the—whoever the President would anoint, would certainly have an advantage, “ Lacierda said last January.
The source said Roxas believes, his campaign organization will be able to get the remaining 20 percent of the votes needed to win the presidency.
Sources said Escudero, who has not returned to NPC, after he left the Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr.-controlled party in 2010, has no qualms about being the running mate of Roxas even if he endorsed Binay in 2010.
It is often said that there are no permanent friends in politics. A Roxas-Escudero team will show that there are no permanent enemies either in politics.
The intriguing thing about this Binay-Meloto team up is that it is brokered by a presidential relative.
Earlier Binay had earlier considered Darlene Marie Berberabe, the young and pretty president and chief executive officer of Pag-ibig Fund, for running mate but that team-up didn’t materialize.
Binay is confident that with his formidable national machinery, he can afford a non-politician running mate.
At the Nacionalista Party, party members think the possibility of Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. getting embroiled in the Janet Napoles pork barrel cases, won’t make him a viable standard bearer.
They are working on a Cayetano-Trillanes ticket.
“Sources said Roxas and Binay both wanted Sen. Grace Poe as running mate but the lady senator feels she is not ready yet to run for a higher position in 2016.”
High five, Sen. Grace! Gusto lang nila si Grace para manalo and then itatapon sa corner. She knows better. With her impressive background, she can easily win the presidency later with enough and significant learning and preparation.
Esep-esep, ewan ko sa mga tandem na yan. Kahit nasira si Chiz sa akin nung araw, mas gusto ko ang Chiz-Sonny. 😀
Political affiliations won’t permit it, I know.
Ang yabang ni Binay, confident na kaagad.
“The intriguing thing about this Binay-Meloto team up is that it is brokered by a presidential relative.”
Waaah, nilalaro naman sila ng mga sisterekas!
Mar, ewan ko lang coz of the Tacloban disaster. Binay, his association with the pork barrel legislators may cost him the presidency although slowly he is distancing himself from the Estradas now. Cayetano, I have not heard any corruption issues on him but the “masa” may think he is too white! Magpa tan muna siya. Punta muna siya sa beach everyday.
Chi, re #3, Hindi lang sisterakas. Kasama na mga cousins.
This is my take on the team-ups:
1. Mar is certainly running for President. He’s the administration’s anointed one. That’s the reason why he’s placed as DILG Secretary, a very powerful department that oversees the Local Government. Please take note that Mar has been going around the country including the typhoon affected areas to help and to campaign of course. However, he’s not yet accepted by the masses despite his effort to be one of them. He was called Mr. Palengke yet never set foot in the public marker since he was a kid. A photo was taken with him riding a carabao and a farmer’s hat, but people noticed his pair of expensive shoes. And of course his wife Korina whose behavior is well known in media. She could be another Imelda.
Chiz is okay, but if he cannot convince Heart’s parents to accept him, how could he convince the people to elect him. Deal with Heart’s parents first and if the problem is resolved, he can come clean to the people.
2. Binay of course is sure to run. He was the first one to declare this. But choosing this unknown Meloto to be his Vice could be a wrong move. In a presidential election, the Vice plays a very important role. Binay is better off picking Vilma Santos and even Erap. Yes, why not Erap. Remember he placed second to Pnoy last election. What more only the vice presidency?
3. I admire this Cayetano for his speaking skills both in English and Tagalog. He’s like Chiz who’s articulate and sound legal background. However, I don’t think Cayetano is ripe for President. Vice President, yes. Same is true with Trillanes who may be very patriotic and clean, but not ripe yet for higher office. Maybe he could run for another term in the Senate then go for Vice Presidency next time after 2016. After all, he’s still young.
As for Bong and Jinggoy, good bye amigos !
#5. Huh, mga gods playing in their palms the ambitious politicians. Sabagay, playmate nila si Binay ever since, pag nagkataon dalawang beses ng mauuto si Mar at Chiz.
#7, Miss Chi, Politics is as dirty as these politicians. But I have hope with some of the current senators. Unless they’re also eaten by the corrupt system, I’m glad we have Grace Poe and Trillanes.
Tony Meloto has declared many times in the past that he (nor GK) doesn’t want to work with government. I hope he stick to this. He has earned global respect and recognition for his effective work in the private sector, and he has been rewarded a thousand-fold through his children. Why taint this black this time? Will it be worth it?
I thought Binay is picking Vilma instead! Parehong cute…heh,heh,heh,
Binay is creating a new party. He is dissolving na raw yung party nila kasama sila Estrada at Enrile.
Vilma is even a bit taller than Binay. Since their height is not a huge gap, Binay prefers her rather than others who are taller than him.
Mannie, I saw them both in person. Halos kaasingtangkad ko lang si Binay at si Vilma, siguro 4’10” lang.
1. Binay-Meloto. Gagamitin ni Binay bilang deodorant si Meloto. What if Meloto declines? Who will qualify as Binay’s deodorant? Si Vilma? Kung si Vilma mas maganda for Binay kasi bubuhos ng campaign contribution ang Philip Morris-Fortune bilang pasasalamat nila sa frustrated attempt of Sen. Ralph Recto to kill the SIN Tax.
2. Mar-Chiz. Kung manalo si Chiz baka maging presidente pa yan. Joskopo. Imagine kung manalo si Binay at si Chiz. Parang gusto ko na lang manirahan sa ibang bansa.
3. Cayetano-Trillanes. Anong kinaiba ni Cayetano kay Chiz? At si Trillanes mahirap ng mag salita kasi popular siya sa mga tagapagsunod ng blog na ito, so ang masasabi ko lang ay ang pagkasenador ay masyadong mataas na para sa kanyang kakayahan. Compare Trillanes to Grace Poe or even to Nancy Binay, those two novices make him look like an amateur.
4. Mar. Okay sana si Mar compared sa mga nabanggit na pangalan pero mukhang hindi siya maka connect sa mga botante so magbigay daan na lang siya sa ibang qualified kung hindi tumaas ang ratings niya sa survey by the end of this year nang ganoon magkaroon pa ng panahon makapaghanda ang papalit sa kanya.
Kung ako si Binay ilalantad ko na sa tao kung sino ako. Tatakbo ako kasama ni Jinggoy o ni Bong, Ipinagtatanggol na rin naman niya sila. Ibenta na lang niya ang ZigZag na Daan as the alternative to Matuwid na Daan. Hindi naman kapos ng torpe sa ating bayan, si Erap ibinoto ngang mayor ng Manila. Mapagpatawad ang Pilipino.
Fascinating. Thanks for the profiling and perspective. I think the combos being set up to oppose Binay are all “Frick and Frack”, which means no outstanding merit. I don’t think President Aquino’s endorsement will mean much when the candidates are face to face and the mud is flying. I suspect Binay can throw mud really really well, and Roxas will be on the defensive and not “show” well. Binay seems the odds on favorite to me, short of a draft Poe movement.
hohummm! iiiiiiiiiihhhh! (ingat, hikab)
‘kaaga namang parallel formation ‘yan, ha. hindi man nagsisimula na silang magmartsa?
magsipagtrbaho na la’ang muna sana at huwag ganyang napakaagang pamumulitika, aba!
‘daming problema ang bayan na dapat nilang unang harapin, AMBISYON ang prayoridad nilang inaatupag?
‘yan ang istayl nang hindi natin nakita noong una sa magiging pamunuang PALPAK!
“Whoever the President will endorse, the power of the President’s endorsement is lethal. It is effective and that’s the reason why the—whoever the President would anoint, would certainly have an advantage, “ Lacierda said last January.”
oooowww?!
hindi pa man umaabot noon ang first 100 days ni penoy sa malakanyang puro PALPAK na ang pinagsasasabi nitong si lacierda meron pa bang aayon sa kanya?
hindi lalaging inaantok ang kamalayan ng mga tao lalo’t ganyang sunod sunod na trahedya ang dagok na dinanas ng mga pinoy at nakita ang kawalang silbi ng administrasyong WALANG ipinagkaiba sa pinalitang gobyerno ng sinungaling na mang-aagaw at magnanakaw – walang alam ipagbanduhan KUNDI ang gumagandang ekonomiya pero araw araw ay nadadagdagan ang walang hanapbuhay!
iisa la’ang naman ang totoo ngayon sa ‘pinas, eh. when it rains, it floods!
dapat si binay-jv ejercito
jv has executive, business and legislative experience. and it cant hurt that he’s an estrada (net positive) and can speak chinese.
#12, so you’re 4’10 only? But Binay even brags about his height saying he’s 4’10…he stands 4 feet and his thing below his belt is size 10″. 🙂
#13 What about Bong-Jinggoy or Jinggoy-Bong team?
#13, MB. Kung ako si Binay ilalantad ko na sa tao kung sino ako. Tatakbo ako kasama ni Jinggoy o ni Bong, Ipinagtatanggol na rin naman niya sila. Ibenta na lang niya ang ZigZag na Daan as the alternative to Matuwid na Daan. Hindi naman kapos ng torpe sa ating bayan, si Erap ibinoto ngang mayor ng Manila.
Hahaha! Binay would be committing suicide, hindi sya maglalantad ng sarili. Ayan o, distansya na si nog2 sa kanila. Korek, the nog2 just wants Meloto as deodorizer. I think mang Tony M smells this already, sana nga.
#14. Agreed on all points, Mr. Joe!
Word just came in that it could be Binay-Jinggoy team up.
And call this plain rumor but word is also being spread around that it could be Mar-Kris team up. God forbids this Kris becoming Vice President of our country !
If it’s Mar Roxas whom Pnoy would be endorsing, his 20 percent voters pull will be reduced to 10.
There are also rumors of a Binay-MVP (businessman Manny Pangilinan of PLDT. Meralco, Makati Medical, Asian Hospital, First Pacific,TV5 Businessworld, shares in Inquirer and Philippine Star,etc. etc.)
MVP prefers to be behind the scene supporting and donating. Why would he aspire for national position when he could easily control any politician with his money and influence?
As for Mar, he sure needs a strong Vice President to even have a fighting chance.
My 2-cents scenario if Mar-Chiz tandem pushed through. It will be NoyBi pa rin in the end. That is why Chiz has no qualms about teaming up with Roxas. This is also the reason why Binay is choosing unwinables coming from the private sectors. Mananalo ba si Tony Meloto o MVPangilinan sa grassroots which is the most critical area in any presidential elections. Binay does not care, as long as he wins.
Plantsado na lahat ng sisters, cousins, and kamag-anak Inc. that supported the NoyBi team last presidential election.
Naku kuya Mar, double jeopardy labas mo niyan. Gising ate Koring!
Ooppsie… BiChiz pala ang resulta, not NoyBi.
Laki ng utang na loob ni Binay kay Chiz. If not for the NoyBi faction that Chiz, the sisterekas and kamag-anak inc. created, Binay would not be VP.
Bakit di na lang Binay-Chiz. Chiz helped Binay to become the VP di ba?
Mannie, 5’2″ naman ako. Di 4’10”. Kaya si Binay siguro ay 5’3″ kasi naka tennis shoes pa ako nung nakita ko siya at halos kasingtangkad ko lang siya.
Thanks snooper. 5’3, 5’4, 5’5 are average height for most Filipinos. With today’s nutrition and vitamins, kids and youth are getting taller. I really thought Binay was something like 5 feet only. I wonder what Aiza and Charice’s heights are.
Romualdaz says, Revilla is qualified to run for the Presidency 2016. Naloko na! Well if Erap was able to run again, who says Revilla can’t.
Ano ba naman kayo, bakit hindi niyo isinasali si Bongbong Marcos para sa vice president. Tiyak mananalo pag tumakbo. Ang mga tao ngayon namulat na ang isipan na dahil sa napatalsik si Ferdinand Marcos naghirap ang mga Pilipino. Hindi na sila naniniwala sa mga nakasulat sa libro.
parang nababanaagan ko, babalik si gibo. kung sakali, ‘yung naging malaking pagkakamali sa pag-isnab sa kanya noon ay magiging isang pagmumulat upang piliin ang hinog na kandidato upang magpatakbo ng matinong gobyerno.
after all, hindi naman siya talagang konektado sa mag-asawang arroyo.
And the winner is Team Poe — Bam Aquino.
Or is Bam underage.? Well my mistake then. Since 18 is voting age think anyone of legal age can run.
Vic, Bump Aquino is only in his 20s. At first, I was not impressed by this Ninoy look alike who tried to look like the latter. Later when I heard him talk, I think he’s very smart and much better than the veteran senators such as Lito Lapid, Bong, Jinggoy, Nancy and even Nancy Villar.
#33 Romualdez is very much identified with GMA and belongs to the same party. It would be Bong’s another stupid mistake to be on GMA and Romualdez’s side not with the pending Pork Barrel scam hanging on his little brain. Bong and Jinggoy should say good bye to presidency and vice presidency.
#34 Arvin, Marcos again? Bongbong again? Bongbong is also involved in the Pork Barrel scam. I don’t have respect for men who could be dictated and controlled by their wives if you know what I mean.
Mannie, Don’t you think it’s a waste of talent for a young man or woman not to qualify for a highest office at young age due to the age requirement for an elected office..by the time a very talented and qualified individual is of age he is already too smart for his own good to run for the office of the President. At 30 a person is Capable of running a country if the voters and his party believe in his capabilities..
Well, I’d say to each his own, but we do not have an age requirement for anyone to run..it just simply say that if one is qualified to Vote, then it is OK and the voting age is 18..last elections many teenagers and 20 something, won seats in the Parliament and they are all doing Fine..now if anyone of them is elected Leaders by their parties, then what is the problem of a 20 something years old PM?
Vic, the laws in the Phil are different from Canada. One in his 20s could run for Mayor, Congressman, Governor, Senator but not higher office like Vice President and President. To run for higher office, one must be at least 40 years old.
Young people are indeed getting smarter these days. But experience also counts a lot.
Are you going to vote for Cayetano? Pls read:
SENATOR Alan Peter Cayetano yesterday defended former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo from those who have already declared her guilty of plunder and corruption.
Cayetano, on the other hand, confirmed that he is eyeing the presidency in 2016 under the Nacionalista Party or as an independent candidate if his party chooses fellow party member Sen. Bongbong Marcos.
In 2010, he accused President Benigno Aquino III of sabotaging then presidential candidate Manny Villar and went even far by insinuating that Aquino has a psychosomatic condition.
Cayetano coined the term “Tropang TOPAK” in 2010 to describe the Aquino Administration of having a plateful of “trapos, oportunistas and kamag-anaks” appointed in government.
#41. mannie, bakit ko naman iboboto si APC e mahilig lang siya na sumawsaw sa isyu, wala pa akong nakitang orig na pinagsasabi. 😀
Si Kris and Vice Ganda ang kalaban ni Binay-Vilma.
Sa lahat ng sinulat na combination dito sa blog na names nag puwedeng tumakbo maging Pres. / Vice ay wala man lang nag sulat na okay ang names na iyan or nag agree.
Kung si Ping lacson ang tatakbo sino kaya ang karapat dapat na ka partner niya??/
Von, it should be Kris-Boy Abunda.
Dito sa atin kapag araw ng botohan ay di ginagamit ng mga botante ang tamang tao na dapat ilagay sa puwesto. Kung sino ang sikat at may magbibigay ng biyaya sa araw ng botohan ay doon sila. Kaya eto ang nagyayari sa atin na puro kalokohan at mandurugas ang naka upos. Siyempre binabawi nila ang ginastos nila sa halalan.
Tutal sikat naman sina Vhong Navarro at Wally baka marami pa ang bumoto sa kanila.
vonjovi2 @ 46 sometimes it would be nice to switch to a strong party system of voting..here a voter has quite a few option when voting for his rep…vote for your rep base on the Party of preference, vote for your rep base on his personality. vote for the party rep base on the party leader (the party leader will become the PM)who you wanted to be the PM..or vote for party base on the Party program or its main program…for example…Trudeau Liberals and Justin Trudeau big Push is to Decriminalize Marijuana..(he is still trying to feel the Pulse) if he goes for it, will you Vote for the Liberal Candidate?
We just have too many parties or multi-party system. It’s time to return to the two party system.
MANILA – Senator Alan Peter Cayetano has finally come clean about his plans for 2016. In an interview on Mornings@ANC, Cayetano categorically said he wants to be President of the Philippines and it’s just a matter of timing.
…There you go folks. Cayetano is now another presidential candidate aside from Binay. Mar may change his mind and opt not to run. Who would then be the administration’s candidate?
lagot ang lahat ng kriminal kapag nangyari ito at siya manalong presidente!
hindi pa man siya naipoproklama pihado akong nanginginig pati tinga ni gloria!

I don’t even mind Duterte to be the President. What we need at this time is someone with strong political will and iron hand. The ideal team would be Lacson-Duterte.
Kung chiz at marcos pagka vice president walang panalo si chiz. Kahit saang sulok ng Pilipinas ang mga matatanda ay sinabihan na ang kanilang mga anak o kamag anak ang kabutihan na nagawa ni Marcos bilang Presidente. Nagtagal nga si Marcos bilang pangulo ng bansa pero marami siyang nagawa bilang isang pangulo. Napakaraming kalsada ang napasemento, napakaraming tulay ang nagawa para mapagdugtong ang dalawang lugar katulad ng san juanico bridge. Ang mga sumunod na pangulo wala na masyadong proyekto dahil nagawa na sa panahon ni Marcos. Sa pagkaalis ni Marcos bilang pangulo nawala na ang dockery loan, tahungan loan, o ano pa na uutang ang tao para magnegosyo na kahit di mabayaran ay okey lang. Ang mga abono ay binabayaran na kaya ang bigas unti unti tumaas ang halaga.
Sa leyte at samar masolid ang boto ni marcos, sa iloilo, sa ilocos, sa mindanao, lalo na sa luzon tiyak iboboto si Marcos para ang nagawa nilang kasalanan sa pagpunta sa edsa para mapatalsik si ferdinand marcos ay mapatawad sila. Dahil sa ngayon ang mga taga luzon sobrang pagsisisi sa pagpunta sa edsa para makiisa pagpatalsik kay Marcos dahil naghirap sila na mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Kayod kalabaw para mabuhay. Samantala sa panahon ni Marcos ay easy easy lang kasi sagana sa pagkain.
Arvin, the whole Ilocos particularly Ilocos Norte and other Ilocano speaking citizens in other provinces will vote for Bongbong. The Ilocanos are tested Marcos loyalists. Those in Leyte including Tacloban would be for Bongbong because of Imelda and the Romualdezes. Add to this is the INC votes. The INC has always been supportive of Marcoses and vice versa.
The question is: Is this Bongbong as good and as smart as his late father? My answer is no. Beware of his wife too. She could be another Imelda.
Magno, Duterte for President. Heh,heh,heh…tiklop silang lahat. This guy means business. He is a lawyer too and had been in all sorts of political position so may qualification soya. Though he may be a reluctant candidate, his candidacy may gain momentum later. Kung sa mga nasa listahang wannabes lang naman, pwede tong si Duterte.
Ang saya-saya! Ang gulo-gulo!
Anybody but Binay! Lintek, ngayon pa lang feeling Royalty na yung mga anak.
Si Nancy, Rockwell Condo ang home address. P40M ang naman ang bahay niya. She probably was the highest-paid mayor’s assistant ever in World history.
Si Abby naman sa Dasma lang, walang wala. Yun lang siguro ang kinita nung bakery na ipinamimigay ng City Hall pag may birthday na Taga-Makati.
Si Junjun may tagapayong kahit hatinggabi. Sa laki siguro ng gastos sa papaya soap aba e baka nga naman mabilad sa liwanag ng buwan at MANGITIM.
Maganda na ang maging bise presidente ni Duterte ay si Bongbong Marcos. Tiyak malaki ang tsansa na manalo sila. Ang mga marcos loyalist ay napakarami. Ang mga hindi Marcos loyalist ay maging loyalist na lalo na ang mga taga luzon na nagsisisi sa ginawang pagpatalsik kay Marcos. Dapat si Duterte ang maging pangulo dahil katulad ni Marcos walang pinapasensyahan, basta magkaroon ng kasalanan ay parurusahan. Para sa ikauunlad ng bayan ay disiplina ang kailangan. Malaki ang makukuhang boto ni Duterte mula sa mga marcos loyalist kapag si Bongbong Marcos ang maging bise presidente niya dahil sure na sure mananalo si bongbong marcos pagka bise presidente.
Ilocanos might be for Marcos but not the entire Luzon, Arvin. Luzon has Kapampangan, Bicolanos, Tagalog.
To me, Bongbong won’t win due to the Yellow Mob’s strong force. Marcos was demonized for so long that even the kids today hate him. Thanks or no thanks to the Yellow media. Vice President? Maybe Bongbong has a chance.
Kung mailibing na si Ferdinand Marcos, pwede ng tumakbo ulit si Bong bong. For now, di pa panahong tumakbo si Bong bong. Marami pa ngang kaso sila Marcos ukol sa corruption na hindi pa natatapos litisin.
