Who Is The Admin's Presidential Bet?
It was even March 11, 2009 that the Palace cheered for Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro to run for the presidency.
Within last week, there was an election on who be the administration's presidential bet because Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando also wanted to become president. You guess it right, "Gibo" (as they call him) won.
But Gibo (even he's now the admin's presidential bet) is not spared against accusations. Bayan, a militant group headed by their secretary general Renato Reyes, Jr. accused him for his lack of interest in going after human rights violators.
"Mr. Teodoro is the least likely to prosecute those accused of human rights abuses under the Arroyo regime. It doesn't seem to rank high in his priorities. He continues to defend the Armed Forces of the Philippines against allegations of human rights abuses. He will also most likely rely on the support of the military for his electoral bid," he said.
Reyes said Teodoro should also clarify his stand on issue involving the Marcos ill-gotten wealth and human rights victims.
On the other hand, Reyes said Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, Liberal Party standard bearer, has made a strong commitment to recover the Marcos ill-gotten wealth. He has however been asked to move to resolve the conflict at his family’s Hacienda Luisita which has claimed the lives of at least 14 farmers, workers and their supporters.
Noynoy has earlier announced that his family may give up its stake in Hacienda Luisita, a move that was followed by calls for the distribution of land.
For my political opinion: Pity Gibo, even he won the support of his party where he is now the administration's presidential bet, he then has some accusations after the winning. Well, that's the price to pay when you're with the (corrupt) administration.
