Over the past few days, President Erap has been quoted to have indicated his preference to have a single candidate running for President from the opposition side. Likewise, President Erap has remarked his willingness to help unite the opposition presidentiables to come up with a single candidate.
The effort of President Erap to unite the opposition for the 2010 elections is very laudable and deserves support from all sectors of society especially the 65% of our compatriots who has grown tired of the Arroyo administration.
I just hope that the presidential aspirants from the opposition will look beyond their own personal ambitions and find a common ground, that is, ensure an opposition victory in the 2010 elections, restore the Filipino people’s hope and dignity by putting an end to Gloria Arroyo’s “mis-governance”.
Indubitably, President Erap remains an essential figure in the formation of a strong and vibrant opposition for the 2010 elections. The former president who still holds a strong electoral command as reflected in various nationwide surveys and as validated in the 2007 elections in which his is much acknowledged leading figure of the Genuine Opposition during the 2007 Senatorial Elections. President Erap’s along with President Cory’s endorsement contributed in clobbering Arroyo’s anointed candidates for the Senate.
President Erap is indeed in the best position to take an active lead in the unification effort of the opposition. He has earned the moral authority to lead in the restoration of the Filipinos dignity and hope.
