MANILA, Aug. 6 (PNA) – Saying the coalition of the ruling Liberal Party, Nacionalist People’s Coalition and Nacionalista Party is good as approved, Senator Manny Villar said on Monday that the alliance for 2013 mid-term elections requires no further formality.
”We are not waiting any formality. Our assumption was there is no more hindrances to the coalition except for minor problems in the local level,” Villar said.
Villar made this comment as the NP president swore in Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez as newest NP member on Monday afternoon at the senator’s office.
”Traditionally, many Romualdezes are affiliated with NP. I hope I served better with my affiliation to the NP,” the Tacloban mayor, who is seeking reelection next year, said.
The swear in of Romualdez was witnessed by his wife Cristina Gonzales and NP senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano, Ferdinand ‘Bong-Bong’ Marcos and Antonio ‘Sonny’ Trillanes IV.
Alan Peter Cayetano and Trillanes are two of the four NP candidates for senators in 2013. Others are Villar’s wife former congresswoman Cynthia Villar and former congressman Robert ‘Ace’ Barbers.
The LP of President Benigno S. Aquino III and NPC of businessmen Danding Cojuangco have yet to formally announce their respective candidates though some names have already cropped as possible sentoriables. These are former Senator Ramon ‘Jun’ Magsaysay Jr., Rep. Erin Tanada, Rep. Sonny Angara, Customs commissioner Rufino Biazon. (PNA)
