There are over a hundred members of Lakas-Kampi, the political party of Arroyo, who are running for reelection aside from government supporters who are seeking posts in Congress as party-list representatives, and Binay said this was part of the grand plan to put Arroyo at the helm. “Alam po naman natin na sa buong bansa marami siyang pinakandidato na pawang may mga bahid ng mga taga-

Binay explained that Arroyo was dead set to become prime minister to thwart the possible filing of criminal charges in
Secretary Avelino “Nonong” Cruz Jr. Cruz was one of the Cabinet members who withdrew support for President Arroyo in the wake of the “Hello Garci” scandal in 2005. Aquino also expressed
