Estrada: ‘Decision lifts cloud of doubt on candidacy. All systems go’Comelec clears Erap runBy Marie A. Surbano and Charlie V. Manalo 01/21/2010 It’s all systems go for former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada’s second run for the presidency, a post he first held in 1998 only to be aborted by a coup d’etat instigated by the elite civil society and backed by treacherous military chiefs. All arguments, rumors and innuendoes that Estrada is banned from running for the presidency again, or that he is withdrawing from the race, came to a stop after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) yesterday junked the three petitions filed last December seeking the disqualification of the former leader and in the process allowed Estrada to run in this year’s presidential elections. Reacting to the promulgation of the Comelec decision that cleared all legal obstacles to his running in the presidential race, Estrada was elated, saying that “nothing can make me happier than to continue serving our people.” Source: The Daily Tribune ALTERNATE URL: http://www.classicposters.com/commentary/20100121hed1.html |
