Liberal Party campaign manager Sen. Franklin Drilon is not a happy camper despite the surveys showing administration coalition Team PNoy candidates dominating the top 12 slots in the senate race.
One candidate now goes by the name “Edgardo Angara,” another by “Grace Poe,” and still another, “JV Estrada.” In an election where voters clearly put premium on political pedigree, candidates from the two main senatorial tickets are tweaking their names for better recall and, eventually, to improve their chances in the May 13 elections.
Is the Senate big enough to contain the mammoth egos of the feuding sons of deposed President and convicted plunderer Joseph Estrada?
What’s in a name? For San Juan City Representative Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito, it means a lot.
