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.
STATEMENT ON THE DUE CAUSES FOR THE REMOVAL OF RICHARD GORDON AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SUBIC BAY METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY (SBMA)
Press Conference at PREDA Center
Monday, July 13, 1998
Richard Gordon should be replaced as chairman of the SBMA for due cause. There are many ‘due causes’ why he should be replaced and prosecuted. Here are a few of them as compiled and documented by the PREDA Foundation, Inc.
Thailand has expressed “great concern” over criticisms by deputy presidential spokesman Anthony Golez and Senator Richard Gordon that the unrest in Thailand reflected the Thais’ lack of political maturity.
At a press conference Wednesday, Thailand Ambassador to the Philippines Kulkumut Singhara Na Ayudhaya said the two officials’ statements “were not based on facts and may have some implication of hidden agendas.”
He said he was set to file a diplomatic protest with the Department of Foreign Affairs this Wednesday.
