Erap-Binay camps welcome military, police votes
05/31/2010 Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) presidential candidate former President Joseph Estrada and his vice presidential bet, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, yesterday expressed elation over the recent results of the local absentee voting that included the military and the police establishments as well as teachers, who gave the tandem the biggest number of votes. According to former Rep. J V Bautista, who now serves as Binay’s spokesman, the vote of confidence from the police and the military for Estrada and Binay is a clear sign of the trust and support by the men and women in uniform, as well as the teachers, for the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino candidates. “The victory obtained by Erap and Binay in the local absentee voting is a clear expression of the trust and support that the two leaders enjoy among our men in uniform,” Bautista said yesterday. Estrada got 8,770 votes while Binay got 12,995 votes. Estrada was generally liked by the military and it was known even as he was ousted, that the rank and file in the military had nothing to do with his ouster in January 2001.
