All-Out Support

"Our collective mission, as a people, should be to completely remove all vestiges of the Arroyo administration in the coming elections so that our country can finally start its rebuilding process." - Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV

It seems that everybody who are against the Arroyo government are now starting to jump to the bandwagon supporting Randy David, who is seriously considering to run against GMA for the congressional seat of the second district of Pampanga.

Over the weekend, prominent people from both the opposition and militant groups specifically Senator Kiko Pangilinan, Makati mayor and United Opposition president Jejomar Binay and party list representative Satur Ocampo have expressed their support and delight that someone is up to the challenge to make sure that the President's rumored plight to stay in power even beyond her term will not go uncontested.

Even the Inquirer columnist's cabalen in the person of Governor Ed Panlilio, who was also heavily considering the alternative of going up against Mrs. Arroyo was willing to give way and give support to David.

Senator Trillanes, who has always been an anti-Arroyo government declared his all-out support for the UP professor and said that Randy David has done more for the country as a teacher than GMA in her nine years as president.

Silvestre Bello, the Cabinet Secretary was quoted saying that David and Arroyo's would-be clash is like David versus Goliath but was careful to say that David is going to win this one. He was pretty sure that GMA is very popular in her home district.

The statement given by the Cabinet Secretary could mean another thing: that the President is on the go for the seat on the House of Representatives and that no one, not even a college professor may block this plan of hers.

But who knows?

"But that does not mean we are confirming David’s winning over Goliath this time. I'm very confident about it." - Sec. Silvestre Bello
