Noynoy and Chiz

Two big events have occurred within the week.

First, as we all know, is the Mar-Korina wedding. The couple have finally tied the knot and exchange vows during their big wedding which was attended by politicians, showbiz personalities, and members of both families. Political personalities from the administration and the opposition arrived, clad in their designer ternos and barong tagalog.

Former Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima and other personalities within and around politics expressed their hopes that Noynor and Mar will get their sweet victory in the 2010 elections. Oh well, as expected, Kris Aquino and Korina Sanchez will use their connections with different names and groups to campaign for Mar and Noynoy. These two chismosas and maarte girls in ABS-CBN will surely exert every effort to make sure the men will win.

The second big event this week is Chiz Escudero's announcement that he is leaving the Nationalist People's Coalition on the argument that a presidential aspirant should not have any political party in order to properly bring about change and good governance.

Chiz, however, said that he does note exclude from his options the possibility of abandoning his presidential bid. He has not made up his mind yet whether he would run or not. His fickle-mindedness or his lack of a long term plan is a sign that he is not yet prepared for the big role of the presidency.

Or could it be that Danding Cojuangco is not so willing to fund NPC's bet because he already expressed his support to Noynoy Aquino. Hmmm... Another interesting turnaround in Philippine politics.
