Last Tuesday, Mandirigma/Fearless Warrior posted the information that former Senators Tito Sotto and Tessie Oreta have left LDP President Edgardo Angara and have joined Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco’s Nationalist People’s Coalition.
Monday night I was talking with Oreta and she was telling me her disappointment about being left out in the list of of possible senatorial candidates of the opposition in favor of her nephew, Noynoy Aquino. She was critical of the selection process of UNO.
She and Sotto had long severed political ties with Angara. She had always been loyal to Estrada. There was never any mention of her talks with Danding Cojuangco.
