They have not made categorical statements so far. But from their recent activities and body language, it would seem that Senator Richard Gordon and Makati Mayor Jejomar are preparing for 2010. For the sake of wider choice, we should welcome their entry.
Gordon is very busy these days. At one time, I noticed he was in Panay, supervising the activities of the Philippine National Red Cross of which he is the chairman. In another time, he is in Mindanao, holding dialogues with officials on how to alleviate the effects of natural disaster.
DAGUPAN CITY, Pangasinan, Philippines—Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay this week signed sisterhood agreements with three towns and two cities of vote-rich Pangasinan but he said this was not meant to push his bid for the presidency in 2010.
Binay said Makati has been signing sisterhood agreements with various local governments even before he announced his interest to join the presidential race last month.
He said Makati has forged sisterhood ties with at least 130 cities and towns in the country.
