Malacañang: Ampatuans’ LP endorsement debt payment
By Angie M. Rosales 04/22/2010 Malacañang took Maguindanao massacre suspect Andal Ampatuan Jr.’s and the entire Ampatuan clan’s endorsement for the candidacy of Liberal Party (LP) presidential tandem Sen. Noynoy Aquino and Sen. Manuel Roxas as payment for a debt of gratitude the clan owes late President Corazon Aquino who Palace officials said was responsible for the Ampatuans rise into political power in Maguindanao. President Arroyo’s men said they respect the Ampatuans’ decision to openly express their support for Aquino’s presidential bid as it was everybody’s right to do so. However, they said they would not condone how detained Andal Jr. was able to hold a formal press conference inside the supposedly maximum-security penitentiary.
