LP, NP ready for 2010 polls sans JDV’s word

Despite the belittling of House Speaker Jose De Venecia on the capability of the Liberal Party and Nacionalista Party to field and win their own presidential candidate, the grand old parties of the Philippines are ready.

Roxas said that “In fact, politics, governance, is focused on the romance of hope, on the romance of change, of reforms. That is what our people are waiting for. That is the message they want to convey and simply counting the members of a party as against another party is only a politician’s talk.”

On the other hand, Senate President Manny Villar said “Of course, we are ready,” but he also told the media that it’s too early to know if he’s the NP’s bet.

Then there’s Sen. Richard Gordon who just admitted his plans for 2010. Well, he’s qualified, though, he may need to realize that if he’ll run under the administration ticket, he should give way to Vice President Noli de Casto being the anointed successor of President Gloria Arroyo.

Senators Loren Legarda, Panfilo Lacson and Chiz Escudero haven’t made a comment yet about their plans for 2010.
