MANILA, Philippines ? The still candidate-less administration coalition on Thursday sneered at the presidential bid of Senator Benigno ?Noynoy? Aquino III, all but saying he could offer nothing besides the name of his illustrious parents.

?His greatest accomplishment is he?s the son of Ninoy and Cory. Now, he?s the brother of Kris Aquino, who is actually more of a leader than him,? Prospero Pichay, a vice president of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD party, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Pichay expressed doubt Noynoy Aquino?s capability to run a country, saying voters should first examine his public service record in his years as Tarlac representative and now, as senator.

?In our years in Congress, I don?t remember any major bill he authored,? said Pichay, a former Surigao Del Sur representative who lost his bid for a Senate seat in 2007.

?He?s a good congressman, a diligent one. He always attended sessions, but I don?t think he has the makings of a good leader.?

A check at Aquino?s official website showed a total of 14 measures he filed in his third and last term as a member of the House of Representatives.

Of the measures, six were resolutions including the one ?creating a select congressional oversight committee on intelligence funds to check and study the use of intelligence funds by government agencies.?

Atop Aquino?s list of sponsored bills was the ?Act Providing for the Codification of Criminal Laws in the Philippines.? Next was the measure declaring April 19 as Tarlac City Day and a special non-working holiday.

Pichay said Aquino should not run mainly on the strength of his late parents? public record and the support he has been getting since the death of his mother last August 1.

?(They?re) not enough,? he said. ?You have to remember that what really counts is if the person has the makings of a good leader. Was he a leader??

Asked about Aquino?s chances of winning the presidency next year given the current public attention on his candidacy, Pichay said: ?I?m not too positive of him making it in 2010.?

Pichay downplayed the supposed public clamor that apparently convinced Aquino to join the presidential race.

?I cannot understand why you would call it a euphoria,? he said. ?It?s euphoria when you have one million people rejoicing in the streets. But it?s not when you have only 5,000 people wearing yellow shirts.?

Pichay said the supposed clamor was ?felt only in Metro Manila and ABS-CBN.?

?We?re not sure if he?s going to rate high in the next survey,? he said. ?Maybe he?ll get five or six percent. That?s it.?

Aquino is the latest addition to the list of opposition figures aspiring for the presidency. Other known presidential hopefuls are former President Joseph Estrada, Senators Manuel Villar, Francis Escudero, Loren Legarda, and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay.

The administration is expected to field a lone candidate, but has yet to make a choice from among Vice President Noli De Castro, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, and Chairman Bayani Fernando of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

Gabriel Claudio, presidential political adviser, acknowledged that a more fragmented political opposition would better serve the interest of the administration.

?It?s obvious,? he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. ?The more candidates that opposition has, the stronger the chances of victory for the administration. But this is not something that we would gloat over.?

In a race among say, five presidential bets, Pichay said the administration would need only around 14 million votes to ensure victory.
