There will be no classes at all levels on Monday, Feb. 22, to commemorate the 24th anniversary of the People Power Revolution. However, it will be a regular working day for government and private offices. While the event is celebrated every year, it is
not among the country’s national holidays. Proclamation 1841 issued in July last year listed all the regular and special holidays for this year. Feb. 25 is the official day when the 1986 People Power Revolution is celebrated, but by virtue

Oil firms cut gas, LPG prices
The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or cooking gas was cut anew by 50 centavos per kilo yesterday. Arnel Ty, LPG Marketers Association (LPGMA) president, said the rollback was consistent with the drop in international contract prices. They are also project-
ing an additional P3 per kilo rollback in the coming weeks, he said. An 11-kg LPG cylinder will now sell at P580, compared to about P600 to P750 the previous week. Last month, LPG contract prices went down by $5 per metric ton to $731 per metric ton. Turn to Page 4
NP to field bet for Speaker By CHRISTINA MENDEZ
So you want to be president?
Nacionalista Party (NP) president and standardbearer Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. said the party will nominate its own candidate for House speaker in the next Congress to challenge President Arroyo, in case she is elected congresswoman and aspires for the speakership.
A close look at those who want to lead To help voters make an informed choice in May, The Philippine STAR has started a series of interviews, in no particular order, with candidates for president. Meetings are hosted by The STAR in the newspaper’s office, with the editorial staff asking the candidates questions on a wide range of issues. The answers, recorded on tape and in video, portions of which can be viewed online in philstar.com, can later be used as references
for campaign promises met or unfulfilled, goals achieved or changed. The resulting write-ups will include personal information about the candidates, including declared assets and liabilities, as well as family, friendship and business ties that could affect policy making in the next administration. A condensed version of all the write-ups will be put together and published on the eve of Election Day, for the guidance of voters.

GMA opponent on speakership: She must win first
GUAGUA, Pampanga – A rival of President Arroyo in the race in Pampanga’s second congressional district said she must win first if she wants to become speaker of the House. Adonis Simpao, the Liberal
Party (LP)’s candidate against Mrs. Arroyo, yesterday said he is confident he will beat her and will bank on the political maturity of Kapampangan voters to clinch the victory.
By DING CERVANTES
Simpao is a businessman engaged in a family-owned construction company in this province and counts himself among Pampanga’s middle class.
“I hope President Arroyo and her allies realize that she is not a sure winner here in the second district of Pampanga. We intend to give her a very good fight and we intend to
win. I believe in the end the Kapampangans will vote for the true Kapampangan and not someone who didn’t even grow up in the province,” he said in reaction to reports that

“The (Nacionalista) Party would choose its speaker and hindi naman miembro ng party namin si Presidente (and the President is not a member of our party),” Villar told The STAR editors and columnists gathered for the start of the paper ’s presidential series yesterday. “I am not saying that we are going to win. I am just saying that we are going to nominate (a speaker).” Villar has rebuilt the NP from scratch and steered it to its status as one of the most formidable political parties in the country today, boasting of hundreds of local leaders in its roster. The NP has been aggressive in raiding other political parties and in recruiting more members. Since last year, Villar has been swearing in new members to the NP’s fold. Villar again defended the NP and himself from accusations that he has struck an unholy alliance with Mrs. Arroyo. “In the field, Lakas and Nacionalista are hitting each other. On Dec.1, many wanted to join us but the President stopped them,” Villar said. He stressed that he has not seen or spoken to the First Couple since his ouster as Senate president in November 2008. If elected president, Villar said he would respect the independence of the three branches of government but stressed the Turn to Page 6

rally, Velarde said only Villar can help the poor, especially the overseas Filipino workers. Everyone was in orange shirts and everything Velarde did was clearly a signal, Villar said, adding that he didn’t think Velarde Turn to Page 4
