[Title] => Why can’t we have a plebiscite?
[Summary] =>
During a fracas at the press conference of Speaker JDV and other congressmen/women in Dusit Hotel, I was surprised when a rather intelligent lady journalist echoed Mr. R. C. Constantino’s claim that he was speaking for the people. Well, yes then, if they claim they are the people and they have the majority, then they should insist on a plebiscite to determine once and for all what the score is.

[Title] => INC: The little sect is big player in RP politics
[Summary] => The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), a small but well-connected sect that votes as one, is set to reprise a familiar role as kingmaker in the closely contested May 10 presidential elections.
The INC has in the waning days of the campaign reportedly distributed sample ballots to its voting members, estimated to number at least a million, instructing them to choose President Arroyo.
Her main rival Fernando Poe Jr. had been courting the INC voters because their total is roughly equivalent to the theoretical number of votes that the movie star needs to overtake Mrs. Arroyo, based on the results of the latest opinion surveys which have him trailing the incumbent by 4.5 percentage points.

[Title] => ‘Iglesia, power brokers to decide May elections’
[Summary] => A religious sect and a handful of powerful political families could hold the key to the outcome of the Philippine presidential election, where incumbent Gloria Arroyo holds a narrow lead, analysts said.
Arroyo rose nearly four points to lead Fernando Poe Jr. a hugely popular matinee idol with no political experience, by 35.3 percent to 30.8 percent, according to the Manila-based Social Weather Stations (SWS) poll of 1,400 likely voters Friday.

[Title] => Analysts: Erap won’t be very influential in an FPJ presidency
[Summary] => Ousted President Joseph Estrada will have little influence in a Fernando Poe Jr. administration, two political analysts said yesterday.
Benito Lim, a University of the Philippines political analyst, said Estrada’s power to influence Poe has been diminished by his detention.
"He (Estrada) still has a following from the E (urban poor) class of society," Lim said. "But he is now in detention and this is a problem for him. His power to influence has been somewhat diminished."

[Title] => FPJ takes lead in SWS poll
[Summary] => Movie actor Fernando Poe Jr. has overtaken broadcaster-turned-senator Noli de Castro as the leading candidate in next year’s presidential election, pollster Social Weather Stations (SWS) announced yesterday.
According to the SWS’s Social Weather Survey conducted from Nov. 8 to 24, 25 percent of respondents said they would vote Poe for president if the elections were held today.
De Castro was close behind with 24 percent of some 1,200 respondents all over the country saying they would vote for the first-term senator who was also the vice presidential choice of 29 percent of respondents.

[Title] => Danding brews political plans
[Summary] => Filipinos love to drink Eduardo Cojuangco’s beer and eat his food, but his other role as a political godfather is having a much more divisive effect as the country gears up for a volatile election campaign.
The 68-year-old chairman of San Miguel Corp., seller of nine of 10 beers in the Philippines, kept a stony silence throughout a recent battle over the impeachment of the top judge that brought the country to the edge of a constitutional crisis.

[Title] => Political battle lines being drawn for May 2004 elections
[Summary] => With seven months until a ballot is cast, major players in the boisterous and colorful world of Philippine elections have started drawing up the battle lines.
President Arroyo fired the first salvo when she announced two weeks ago she would seek a full six-year term, breaking a promise she had made in December to leave politics.
"I have deferred my retirement," she told her supporters at a former US air base in her home province of Pampanga. "I will offer myself to the electorate in 2004."
