Davao City - Istupido ang isang bagong anunsyong pangampanya ng Genuine Opposition dahil hindi nito mahihimok ang masa na iboto ang mga senatoriables ng partido.


Ito ang mariing puna kahapon ni GO reelectionist Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson ng matanong sa campaign ad na pinamahalaan nina Senador Serge Osmena, campaign manager ng oposisyon at San Juan Mayor Joseph "Victor" Estrada, deputy campaign manager.

Ayon kay John, isa sa senatorial candidate ng GO, hindi dapat tinanggal sa itinerary ng mga kandidato ang motorcade dahil mas marami silang naiikot at nakakaharap na tao.

‘‘Her decision should also hopefully end all the unproductive discussions on a no-election scenario," he added.

Angara, chairman of the Senate committee on constitutional amendments, said that by deciding against running, President Arroyo had provided a non-partisan color to discussions on constitutional change.

Angara had filed Resolution 330 calling for such a Senate probe even before the GSIS has been tagged as the financier of the P1.1-billion President Diosdado Macapagal Avenue (PDMA) at the Manila Bay reclamation area.

The resolution was co-authored by Sen. Tessie Aquino-Oreta, Sen. John Osmena, Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr. and other opposition senators.
