                    [Summary] => The so-called "Erap factor" will ensure the victory of movie star Fernando Poe Jr. in the May 2004 presidential elections, Maguindanao Rep. Didagen Dilangalen said yesterday.


Dilangalen said this was precisely why former President Joseph Estrada no longer wants to seek medical treatment in the US to focus on campaigning for his long time friend.


Dilangalen, a member of Estrada’s party Partido ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), said the huge following of the former president will be a huge factor for Poe’s success in the elections.

                    [Summary] => Administration Rep. Prospero Nograles of Davao City urged President Arroyo yesterday to expand the scope of the lifestyle check on government officials.


Aside from Cabinet officials, whose standard of living the President has ordered probed, other appointive officials holding permanent positions in the government and even those holding elective positions should be investigated, according to Nograles.


Widening the dragnet, he said, will ensure that all government officials use their position only to serve public interest and not fatten their bank accounts.
