It takes convincing the electorate who have long been sickened by elections that mean nothing to their lives and future that this one is more than just a choice between Estrada’s candidates and Arroyo’s candidates and is, therefore, different. The opposition should be able to show that this is beyond ousting Arroyo and beyond retaking power.
Genuine Opposition? The opposition candidates should be able to give substance to the strategy of using the election as an issue of presidential accountability. In this picture, Billy Aportadera (second from right) takes oath as the Liberal Party’s District 2 Davao City Chairman, tasked to set up LP chapter in District 2 in coordination with LP city chairman Councilor Pete Lavina. The LP is coordinating with GO chairman Leo Magno on the slate for city councilors. The oathtaking is headed by Senator Franklin Drilon together with other new LP leaders last Feb.20 at Kalayaan Hall, Club Filipino, in Manila. (Contributed photo)
