Loren Legarda is Manny Villar's VP

Published: Nov 17, 2009 - 7:42am

Manny Villar, standard-bearer of the Nacionalista Party (NP), will officially announce at 3:30 p.m. November 17 that Loren Legarda will be his running mate for the May 2010 Presidential Elections. Exactly one year ago, Villar was ousted as Senate president, and Legarda was one of the senators who pushed for his ouster, reports the Inquirer.

The Villar-Legarda team-up was finalized Sunday night over a private dinner. Legarda told the Inquirer, "He told me, 'I believe in your platform on environment, agriculture and climate change,' and I said, 'I believe in your platform on helping migrant workers and pushing for their rights.' In that respect, we clicked right away."

"I want the country to be great again, green again, and what I bring to the vice presidency is a green economy, investments and jobs, and green sustainable development,"she said. Why Villar? Legarda said: "I woke up one day realizing that our platform and aspirations for this country, especially uplifting the poor's lot in life, converged."

    kawawa naman sina Loren at Villar..
    napakaraming issues..tsk3!

    paano kasi, sila ang pinakamalakas na contender...
    wala namang ginawa yan si Jamby kundi manira ng ibang tao..sabi nga ng isang senador na "nuisance" lng siya sa senado..
    WALANG katotohanan yang C5 issue..
    think of this: matagal na ang issue na iyan at naaalala ko na hindi kasali si Villar jan,bakit ngayong malapit na ang eleksyon pa yan inungkat at dinawit pa si Villar dahil lamang siya ay part-owner ng companyang humahawak sa project na yan..

    dapat lng hindi yan pansinin ang mga taong yan!
    papansin lng sila pano kasi mga walang perang pang bayad ng advertisement!

    buti pa kay villar at loren siguradon na!may nagawa na!eh ang iba, gagawin pa lang..at ang iba ay tuta lng ng iba.. :(

    (hindi nag-iisip ang mga bumuboto kay noynoy at mar!)>:p

    sa latest survey ay malapit ng maabutan ni Sen. Loren Legarda si Sen. Mar Roxas sa Vice Presidential race.. dating 40% si Mar ngayon ay 31% na lang.. ito makakapagsabi sa inyo...

    Eto po ang sinabi Ni Loren Legarda "“I want the country to be great again, green again, and what I bring to the vice presidency is a green economy, investments and jobs, and green sustainable development,”she said. Why Villar? Legarda said: “I woke up one day realizing that our platform and aspirations for this country, especially uplifting the poor’s lot in life, converged.” Hindi po ba dapat, let's just happy for the decision of Loren Legarda, meron po syang isang plataporma na tyong mga Pilipino ang makikinabang,..ang bansa po natin ang mage-be-benefit ng lahat ng ito pagdating ng panahon, Subok na po ang pagiging isang mahusay na Senadora ni Loren Legarda, sa dami po ng mga bills na naipasa nya, sa tingin ko po, hinde na natin sya dapat siraan, instead suportahan po natin siya at ang kanyang mga plataporma.

    so far, Mar is still the best VP candidate out there. especially with the recent withdrawal of the candidacy of Chiz
  • bluelabel Nov 26 2009 @ 10:11am Report Abuse
    Si Loren, balimbing. titirahin si villar tapos pag wala nang running mate, kakampi naman pala dun sa kabila. yan ba yung dapat maging VP??
  • Jimbo Nov 19 2009 @ 01:13am Report Abuse
    Sa C5 (Sipag) at tyaga, Villar po tayo. Ah ewan.
  • Asin Nov 18 2009 @ 11:15pm Report Abuse
    I was born in Las Pinas. I grew up in LP. I breathe LP air. I know what is happening in LP. And you believe the C5 is politically motivated?

    Por Dios por Santo, kaya tayo tinawag na may culture of impunity. Even the squatters of LP will have the perception that an anomaly has happened there.

    The culprits laugh all the way to the bank.

    ang may mali kay Jamby! dapat nga sila pa mag sorry kay Villar puro sila satsat ni Lacson, eh samatalang yung sarili niyang issues di niya maharap! dapat ma pa imbistigahan yang dalawa na yan lalo na si Lacson.
  • Kris Nov 18 2009 @ 03:06pm Report Abuse
    Saludo ako kay Loren, kasi ginagampanan niya talaga ang kanyang trabaho bilang isang senadora.

    Binantayan niya at kinilatis ang C5 issue at nabigyang linaw naman ang issue na yun at napatunayan na walang kasalanan... kaya wala akong nakikitang mali sa pagsali ni loren sa kampo si Villar.

    Ang nakikita kong mali ay ang pagbibigay daan ni mar roxas kay noynoy na kung san naman mas magaling siya kay noyski! indecisive ang grupo ni noynoy! noh

    and watch this and learn:

    it is indeed a great tandem. Both are excellent candidates with satisfactory experiences and contributions in our Country.

    mgamatangmapanghusga, lubus lubusin ko na?

    ok eto: Loren criticizes Manny V, Loren files Senate resolution against Manny V., now Loren joins Manny V. as her VP? Where is the sanity here?

    Talo na yan sa election.
  • mgamatangmapanghusga Nov 18 2009 @ 02:13pm Report Abuse
    hay naku,, pinoy didi.. naghalungkat ka rin lang naman sana nilubos lubos mo na.. para nalaman mo kung ano ang ginagawa ni loren legarda para sa iting bansa.
  • Ka Freddie Nov 18 2009 @ 01:26pm Report Abuse
    Wala na ito. Mga bulag na lang nga ang boboto kay Manny at Loren.

    Tapos na ang election.
  • Mila Magpantay Nov 18 2009 @ 01:14pm Report Abuse
    Jamby is correct. Loren is no different from climate change not far from her advocacy.

    She is an opportunist pure and simple. Even the color blind can see through it.
  • Elieczar Dela Cruz Nov 18 2009 @ 11:06am Report Abuse
    I think Loren stand her own ground on issues that matters especially for the betterment and honesty, kahit madaming tao ang ayaw sa mga desisyon niya. hindi siya basta-basta pumapayag sa mga bagay bagay ng walang malinaw na paliwanag.

    I thnk she's doing it kasi di ba, journalist siya before, and journalist seek the truth or at least all sides of the issue. that's her jobas a jpurnalist and a senator.
  • Pinoy Didi Nov 17 2009 @ 11:18pm Report Abuse
    Hypocrites all. Loren impeaches Erap, Loren joins Erap, Loren criticizes GMA, Loren joins GMA, etc. What a Bitxx.

    Let us flush this two in the toilet come election day.

    The youth vote will certainly rule. Sawa na kami.

    Yeah right. What converged was your mutual decision that together you could rob our country blind.
