Lacson pointed out that the actor’s popularity alone will not be sufficient to carry him through the problems of managing the government.

However, former President Joseph Estrada, who has become a symbol for the opposition, declared yesterday a tailender in the surveys should slide down and give way to the frontrunner.

Unification is the only way the opposition can manage to stop the steady rise of President Arroyo as the front-runner in this race. Lacson knows this; Poe probably knows it.
