Will Ronnie Puno's 'luck' hold for Gibo-Edu tandem?
MANILA, Philippines - Lakas-Kampi CMD standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro and Edu Manzano continue to lag in surveys.
But for party leader Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno, the survey numbers do not reflect the local political machinery of Lakas-Kampi that should kick in on election day.
Puno is credited for three presidential victories: Fidel V. Ramos's in 1992; Joseph 'Erap' Estrada's in 1992; and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's in 2004.
Will Puno's luck hold in 2010?
Puno says it's too early to rely on survey results to predict the outcome of this election.
"During the time of President Ramos, he lost all surveys except the exit survey. if you look at the race between FPJ [Fernando Poe Jr.] and President Arroyo, until April [2004], FPJ was 10% ahead, dun na lang sa finish talaga pumasok yung...I think a lot of people changed their minds," Puno says.
Right now, he says the surveys don't take into account the edge of Lakas-Kampi bet Gilbert Teodoro over his rivals: the Lakas-Kampi's network throughout the country.
"Both of these parties do not have too many candidates around the country. The Liberal Party has only 30% presence in the whole country. The Nacionalista Party (NP) only 40 out of 81 provinces. So, it's Lakas-Kampi that has a presence everywhere. So, our approach is organization rather than media. And we think that advertising programs, for example, are most important in the last phase of the campaign. Kasi, sa tingin namin, yung local campaign period is the most important period," Puno says.
Puno says when the local campaigns kick in on March 26, then surveys may start to reflect their strength.
He says it is not so much the ruling party's command vote as mobilization of resources by their local leaders for their national candidates.
Puno acknowledges the transfer of some Lakas-Kampi stalwarts to the Nacionalista Party fold may be fueling talks that Villar is the administration's secret candidate.
But Puno says those who are with the administration party are solidly for Teodoro.
"It's good sometimes na dehado ang candidate namin because then we are already accepting a possibility that we will be looking at another administration that is not aligned with ours, and we have accepted it in our hearts. Okay na yon. So, failure of election is not something that is going to make us happy. And I think that although we are not happy with the surveys, I am happy personally that that I'm not seeing a massive migration to other parties from our members, and if we can keep that together, I am still confident," he says.
Puno can still be optimistic at this stage in the campaign even if his candidate is lagging at number 4. He says the crucial survey will be this coming April. -- report from ANC's Rundown

Ibagsak ang grupong LAKAS-KAMPI !!!
Mga kababayan narito na naman ang grupong nagpahirap sa atin ng halos isang dekada. Huwag natin kalilimutan ang ginawa ng LAKAS-KAMPI kung paano nila DURUGIN ang IMPEACHMENT laban kay BUWAYANG GLORIA.Kung paano nila maniobrahin kasabwat ang MILITAR ang resulta ng eleksyon noong 2004. Ang “ HELLO GARCI “ ay malaking dagok sa sambayanan para iluklok ang mandaraya at pekeng PRESIDENTE na si GLORIA. PANAWAGAN sa mga KABATAAN imulat natin ang kaisipan sa grupong ito. Ang LAKAS-KAMPI sa pangunguna ni GIBO ay bangungot sa sambayanan sa mahabang panahon. Huwag na natin ibalik sa poder ang mga ito. Ang mga ANOMALYA na ginawa nila ay hindi mapapatawad kahit kailan. Huwag paniwalaan kung ano man na matatamis na mga pangako na bibitiwan nila. Lahat ng pangako ay gagawin nila para lang makuha ang inyong simpatiya. Ang mga nasa likod niyan ay mga TUTA ni BUWAYANG GLORIA na sina PUNO, PICHAY at marami pang iba. Mga KABATAAN sa darating na botohan IBAGSAK natin sila. Sila ang mga ANAY sa lipunan na dapat PUKSAIN sa pamamagitan ng ating BOTO. MABUHAY TAYO!!!
not luck
Ces you know very well it was not luck. It was machination and Puno has perfected the art. He is going to do it again and Gibo's followers will be very proud of their achievement. Poor Pinoy.
Wag tingnan ang Artista lang
Kayo naman mga kababayan, wag kayo mag padala sa mga artistang nag mumukhang mga sipsip at nam bobola sa isip ng ating mga mamamayan.Isipin niyo nalang, ng dahil sa artistang Idol mo iboboto mo ang kanyang sinusuportahan? Napaka wala naman tayong sariling pag iisip at paniningdigan.
Mga kababayan, tingnan naman natin ang isang kandidatong may kapasidan,talino at sipag ,wag naman yong may pera na ang siyang pina paikot para manalo, at wag naman ang nakulong na , at lalao nang wag sa isang kandidatong ,parang bata na madaling sulsulan at ginagamit lang ng ibang niyang kasamahan, at huwag tayong boboto ng dahil ang mga magulang ay may nagawa sa ating bayan.Iba ang magulang at iba ang anak.
Mga kababayan kong gusto niyo ng kaunlaran at tagumpay sa ating minimithi iboto niyo si GIBO TEODORA , itoy ating isang sayang na pag kakataong ilaalay niya ang sarili sa mabigat na responsibilidad sa ating bansa.Ito ang kandidatong hindi nila masusuhulan,ma susulsulan at hindi mauuto sa ating batas dahil isang matalinong abogado.
Nag sasariling sikap sa kanyang pag takbo, walang mga artistang ginagamit para maka kuha ng boto.
Mga kababayan hindi artista ang ating kailangan ngayon ang kailangan natin ay si GIBO TEODORO.
bUONG BAYAN NAMIN AY PURO GIBO!!!!MABUHAY KA GIBO
