It’s 25 days to go before the national elections, and with roughly 3 weeks remaining in the campaign period, the candidates are all hell-bent on making that one last push and doing whatever is necessary to give them the edge over their rivals and get the nod of the people come voting time.
Naturally, up to now, the presidential race is still having its twists and turns. Yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed Eddie Gil to resume his campaign after the latter filed a petition to reverse the Commission on Elections’ decision to disqualify him from the race. This was frowned upon by Gil’s namesake, Bro. Eddie Villanueva. Raul Roco on the other hand, has left his followers in a cloud of doubt regarding his health status after he withdrew from the campaign sorties to undergo treatment in the United States. Meanwhile, it seems that the never-ending unification rumors between Presidentiables Ping Lacson and Fernando Poe, Jr. took on another gear after it was reported that El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde was going to facilitate their unification meetings.
And of course, the incumbent won’t be far behind when it comes to publicity. After dodging all the disqualification cases filed against her, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has intensified her campaign to retain her post as the nation’s leader. Yesterday, she criticized FPJ (whom many consider to be her top rival for the post) for his lack of government platform.
May the best and most deserving candidate win.
