Ayun sa report, nagre-reorganize daw ang Liberal Party para ayusin ang takbo ng kampanya ni Noynoy Aquino.
Noong isang linggo, may report din na magti-take charge na raw si Noynoy sa kanyang kampanya.
Magandang hakbang ito ni Noynoy at ng Liberal Party at nangyari lamang ito dahil sa pagbagsak ni Noynoy at pag-akyat naman ni Manny Villar ng Nacionalista Party sa surveys.
Mahalaga ang surveys dahil yun ang nag-pupulso ng damdamin at pag-iisip ng sambayanan. Parang thermometer yan. Pinapakita kung ano ang init sa loob.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and senatorial aspirant former Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim will remain in jail despite being allowed by a Makati court to post bail on a rebellion charge, the military said on Wednesday.
“The group of Senator Trillanes cannot be released until after the military has agreed already, because they are still facing general court martial,” said Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Romeo Brawner Jr.
He said the two have pending cases before the military tribunal in connection with alleged attempts to overthrow the Arroyo government.
“Under the military law, there is no such thing as bail,” Brawner said.
Ang yabang talaga nitong executive secretary ni Gloria Arroyo.
Minaliit kahapon ni Executive Secretary Ermita ang kandidatura ni Brig. Gen. Danny Lim at ang dalawang Magdalo na oisyal, si James Layug, dating kapitan sa Philippine Navy na ngayon ay tumatakbo para kongresista sa second district ng Taguig, at si Gary Alejano, dating Marine captain na ngayon ay tumatakbo para mayor ng Sipalay sa Negros Occidental.
Tinatanong si Ermita kung ang pagpayag ni Judge Elmo Alameda ng Makati Regional Trial Court na makapagpiyansa sina Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, at ang 16 na Magdalo na opisyal at sundalo kasama na doon sina Layug at Alejano ay makakatulong sa kanilang kandidatura, ang sagot ni Ermita na painsulto “Oh..oh…oh.. Only in the Philippines.”
Nakalimutan na yata ni Ermita na minaliit din nila noong 2007 si Trillanes. Kaya nga nila pinayagan kumandidato kasi akala nila walang pagasang mananalo. Kasi nga naman, walang pera, nakakulong pa.
Aba, magkasundo ngayon si Noynoy Aquino, kandidato para presidente ng Liberal Party at si Manny Villar, kandidato ng Nacionalista Party sa isang isyu: hindi maaaring pagbawalan na magpatuloy sa kanilang trabaho bilang entertainers ang mga artista na nage-endorso sa kanilang kandidatura.
Sinabi nila sa magka-ibang statement na kung kinakailangan, pupunta sila sa Supreme Court para ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga artisitang tumutulong sa kanila. Sabi ni Villar,”Artista ka man o hindi, karapatan ng isang Pilipino ang magpahayag ng kanyang saloobin tungkol sa pulitika at hindi siya dapat parusahan.”
Ngayon na opisyal na na campaign period, ipinaala-ala ng Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) at ng Commission on Election na nakasaad sa Fair Election Act na kailangan daw mag-bakasyon muna sa kanyang trabaho ang sino mang artista or reporter na magkakandidato o magta-trabaho para sa kampanya ng isang kandidato.

Last week the Commission on Elections denied the tried- and –tested National Citizen’s Movement for Free Election accreditation for an election watchdog role for the May 10, 2010 polls.
Namfrel, which applied accreditation in partnership with the CBCP-NASSA (Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines-National Secretariat for Social Action) was accused by two Comelec officials of being “partisan.”
Without Namfrel, the election watchdog role will be borne wholly by Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting represented by former ambassador to Vatican Tita de Villa.
Four groups have expressed concern of Namfrel’s exclusion from election watchdog duties. The Bishops–Businessmen’s Conference for Human Development, Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines, Makati Business Club, and Management Association of the Philippines, Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued a statement expressing dismay and concern.
The amalgamation of ideas from various civil society, politicians and volunteers has caused an internal “struggle of perspective” in Sen. Noynoy Aquino’s presidential campaign, according to Liberal Party campaign manager Florencio “Butch” Abad.
A discussion on how Aquino’s presidential campaign is being run by his political strategists and handlers came in the wake of a drop in his approval rating and a sudden rise in that of Sen. Manuel Villar of the Nacionalista Party.
The latest Pulse Asia survey showed Aquino with 37 percent against the 35 percent of Villar who has bombarded the television industry with “his millions, or probably billions, worth of advertisements.”
“I’m sure there was a struggle of perspective on how to run the campaign,” he said in an interview in ANC’s “Strictly Politics.” “That’s the nature of the animal (the new LP).”

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/08 Feb) – The Ampatuans, Mangudadatus, Midtimbangs, Sinsuats, Masturas, Sangkis comprise the majority among Maguindanao’s 879 candidates running for 374 posts: two congressional representatives to Congress, one governor, one vice-governor, 10 provincial board members, 36 mayors, 36 vice mayors and 288 municipal board members or councilors.
The Ampatuans lead the list of candidates with 50 carrying the same surname, at least 23 of them directly related to the patriarch, Datu Andal Ampatuan, Sr., and 18 with Ampatuan as middle name, according to records of the Commission on Elections (see list in article below)
Among the Ampatuans running are the patriarch, Datu Andal Ampatuan, Sr., the three-term governor of Maguindanao who resigned in January 2009 and returned as OIC governor in late 2009 (he was OIC governor when the November 23 massacre in Ampatuan town happened).
He is running for vice governor as an Independent candidate against three others, including his daughter Shaydee Ampatuan-Abutazil. His other opponents are Ma-arouph Bajunaid Candao and Ismael “Dustin” Veloso Mastura.
Noynoy: Hindi ako magnanakaw!
Gibo: Hindi ko na kailangan magnakaw!
Villar: Hindi na ako magnanakaw!
Erap: Kailangan ko ulit magnakaw!
GMA: Wala na kayong mananakaw pa!
‘Yan ang kumakalat na text at marami pa tayong makukuha na mga ganyan habang palapit na palapit na ang eleksyun. Ang iba nakakatuwa, ang iba nakaka-inis. Kailangan salain ang impormasyun. At i-enjoy ang nakakatuwa.
Ngayong araw ang simula ang opisyal na kampanya. Sa totoo lang matagal ng nagkakampanya ang mga kandidato dahil sinabi ng Supreme Court na hindi daw labag sa batas ang magkampanya kahit hindi pa official camapign period. Huwag lang daw sabihin na “Iboto mo ako.”
