Support GMA’s Congress plans, Palace asks onetime allies
By Aytch S. de la Cruz 06/29/2010 Malacañang has publicly aired appeals to the erstwhile allies of outgoing President and incoming Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo to keep supporting her in the House of Representatives despite parting ways with her to pursue their respective political interests. On his final press briefing to Palace reporters yesterday, outgoing deputy presidential spokesman Gary Olivar said he is hoping that somehow Arroyo’s allies who have already jumped ship to other political parties would still consider supporting the good agendas she would be pushing in the 15th Congress soon. “It is my hope that when the President moves on to a quieter life in Congress, she can rely on everyone who supported her to continue to make themselves available to her, as and when their services may be needed. After all, she can never be just a representative from Pampanga. She is on her way to becoming, presumptively, the first representative of all the people,” he stressed. Olivar said he would no longer be surprised if Arroyo, upon her entry as neophyte lawmaker in the House of Representatives, would be regarded as a primus inter pares or be accorded with a higher distinction as a former president and now legislator representing the second district of Pampanga.
