After backing Villar, Zubiri quits Lakas-Kampi
MANILA, Philippines - Bukidnon Governor Jose Zubiri told ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) on Wednesday he is resigning from Lakas-Kampi-CMD, his party of the last 18 years, within the day.
Zubiri issued the statement amid moves by the administration coalition to expel him for openly supporting Nacionalista Party (NP) standard-bearer Manny Villar.
Zubiri, the provincial party chairman of Lakas-Kampi-CMD, said he will submit his resignation within the day and send it to the party's headquarters by fax.
He said this would make it easier for the administration party to take action since he does not want to make it appear that he may still change his mind.
Gov. Zubiri is the father of Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri, who is supporting the Lakas-Kampi-CMD's official candidate for president, Gilbert Teodoro.
The senator has distanced himself from his father's decision, and assured that he and his brother, Bukidnon 3rd District Rep. Jose Ma. Zubiri III, will continue to support Teodoro.
On Tuesday, Teodoro said the party would be taking "appropriate measures" against Gov. Zubiri for endorsing Villar.
Teodoro has been lagging behind Villar, Sen. Benigno Aquino III, and former Joseph Estrada in the presidential surveys
Political observers are not surprised by the move taken by the Zubiri family to support two candidates.
They said many political families have been doing this to ensure that whoever wins in the presidential race, they will still have ties to Malacañang. -- reports from ANC; Jay Ruiz, ABS-CBN News

Nail in the coffin

It's a nail in the coffin for GT Gago (Gibo) Tarantado (Teodoro) for his presidential ambition. Surely this will be the cause of his defeat. I'm more than 100% sure of that.

It’s unfortunate that you want to show that you are smart, but sad to say, that you are brainless and cannot comprehend what is an idiomatic expression as “nail in the coffin”. So who you are?
As usual
As expected na mangyayari. Ranchero
Mana-Mana nga sa amo
kapag ang amo mo ay abNoy malamang abnoy ka din!' pumipili kami ng iboboto dahil sila ang sa tingin naming the best sa lahat ng kandidato, wala namang taong perpekto kahit ikaw mismo sa sarili mo.
when Villar ordered arroyo
when Villar ordered arroyo investigated on the zte nbn deal, hello garci and the jueteng scam that involved her husband, Villar lost his position as senate president and was replaced with enrile who also wanted Villar replaced. aqui=NO is the secret candidate of arroyo and not Villar and gibo=rroyo is her front to camouflage whatever deal they entered into and talked about so let alone Villar.
