Erap would have won if Cory didn’t die—Palace
By Aytch S. de la Cruz 05/20/2010 Even Malacañang has publicly acknowledged the political strength of former President Joseph Estrada as it recognized the fact that he could have easily reclaimed the presidency had it not been for the “sympathy votes” gathered by Liberal Party presidential candidate Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, owing to his mother, former President Corazon Aquino’s death. President Arroyo’s political adviser, Prospero Pichay, told reporters yesterday that Estrada could have been in Aquino’s lead position today if the death of Cory Aquino did not occur during the pre-election period. “Cory Aquino died and it was the destiny of Noynoy Aquino to become president of this country; otherwise, if Cory did not die, Erap would have been the president of this country,” Pichay said.
