==Seares: Kingmakers Erap, PNoy== | |||

:by Atty. Pachico A. Seares | |||
PRESIDENT Noynoy Aquino must be a reluctant kingmaker. Until last weekend, when in Oriental Mindoro he fired his first campaign salvo, he hadn't been active in mending Liberal Party fences. | |||
The 2013 election must hold scant interest to PNoy: he won't face reelection in 2016 and no coup, impeachment, or post-term lawsuit threatens him. | |||
PNoy is no Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. From year one, GMA beat back threats of uprising by wooing police and armed forces and won local politicians to her side, which required year-round campaigning. | |||
PNoy being on the campaign trail means he has realized he has a debt to pay his party, it would help LP if the next president is a Liberal, and he could return the favor Mar Roxas gave him in 2010. | |||
The payback argument is pretty strong but more persuasive is that another LP president could continue PNoy's fight against corruption and poverty. | |||
Redemption | |||
Joseph Estrada very much wants to be a kingmaker. | |||
If Vice President Jojo Binay would win in 2016, it would prove Erap's clout and offer some redemption after his ouster from office and conviction of plunder. | |||
Erap would've preferred the vote of confidence in 2010, which would've wiped out the slate that a pardon couldn't. Binay's becoming president would be the next best thing. | |||
A rematch for PNoy and Erap though not as principal fighters but as handlers. And the clash begins next year. | |||
They are the kingmakers although a lot would depend on the would-be kings: who between Binay and Roxas could get the nation's mandate and fate's blessing? | |||
