Edu Manzano is Gilbert Teodoro’s Vice Presidential Running Mate



Kumusta naman ito? It has been confirmed that Edu Manzano has jumped to the Lakas-Kampi-CMD camp to run as the running mate to presidential aspirant Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro.

I said jumped because it was just a few weeks back that I read Edu Manzano was seeking a senate seat under Manny Villar’s Nacionalista Party. Even Gilberto Teodoro was with Danding Cojuangco’s National People’s Coalition (NPC) party before.

Well that’s party loyalty for us – there’s none in the Philippines.

Vilma Santos and Bong Revilla were considered before Edu. I think Lakas-Kampi-CMD would even ask Amay Bisaya – if they are certain that he is winnable and still on the same plane as the rest of humanity.

What’re the party’s considerations for picking Edu Manzano? There many but experience and credentials are probably of the bottom of the list.

Let’s see what Edu got that others don’t.

Edu is the ex-husband of Vilma Santos and Maricel Soriano. He’s the father of Lucky Manzano. He’s a former vice mayor of Makati. I don’t know why he’s aspiring for vice president when he couldn’t even win as mayor for a small city.

And of course, he was the former Optical Media Board chairman, the government’s anti-piracy agency.

Come to think of it, Iam not sure if Edu’s last post makes win winnable because think of all the Muslims in the pirated CD trade who hates his guts. You think they would vote for him? I’m thinking even those Muslims who don’t bother to vote would troop to the voting precints just to thwart Edu.
