IN SEARCH FOR TRUTH By Ernesto M. Maceda (The Philippine Star) | Updated June 1, 2013 - 12:00am
The race for the 2016 Presidential Contest has started. Global Source, a New York-based think tank has shortlisted Vice President Jojo Binay, DILG Sec. Mar Roxas (LP), Grace Poe (Team Pinoy), Alan Peter Cayetano (NP), and Chiz Escudero (Independent) as potential presidential candidates.
President Aquino has already predicted that his anointed will win the election.
With his extensive public service background and with the highest trust rating, Vice President Jojo Binay is still the front runner with Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada as potential running mate. The top five finish of Nancy Binay confirms the VP’s big following. DILG Sec. Mar Roxas has a lock on the LP nomination with Chiz Escudero as probable running mate. Topnotcher Grace Poe is a darkhorse but it all depends on her performance in the Senate for the next 2 years.
The Nacionalista Party (NP) now with 5 Senators will compete in 2016 with an attractive team up of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano and Sen. Bongbong Marcos. Lakas-NUCD is still in contention with the reelection of President Gloria M. Arroyo and a viable candidate in the person of Sen. Bong Revilla who topped the 2010 senatorial race.
