Political chess & media zarzuela: It’s no him, it’s her. It’s not her, it’s him.

Wanted: Vice President. Celebrity. Crowd drawer. Yan ang problema ni Gibo. Kasi naman eh. Bat’s kasi… ano eh…

Our preference really is Vilma Santos,” Guico told the Inquirer. “She can raise Gibo’s popularity. She’s had a lot of experience and is a veteran of local government. She’s well-respected.” (Source: Low ratings make it hard to get No. 2 )

For all those excellent credentials, sometimes I feel that Gibo was not thinking strategically by aligning himself with her. So even with Ate Vi’s magic wand, kung meron man sya to inject some needed soaring popularity to Gibo which I doubt, ain’t gonna work because of the “other woman”.

He seemed likable, right? But then, as if to remind us all, he stumbled badly during the flooding and is now looking for one celebrity superwoman to pluck him out of this literally down to earth ratings where he got stuck.

I don’t think its him, i think its her!

And so while we commend her stand on environment, she was very hard to get. Surprisingly, eh nag-e-expect naman pala sya that it was supposed to be Chiz! Eto naman kasing si Mark Cojuango gi-announce to soon. So, who spoiled Chiz’s NPC dream? Sya ba? Dahil and sabi, Legarda said she had not talked with any presidential candidate before because all the while she thought was that Escudero would be her tandem.

Bakit naman ako makikipag-usap, meron na akong ka-tandem? Pero nasabi ko na nga na nirerespeto ko yung ginawa ni Chiz bagamat hindi nagpaalam [Why will I be negotiating when I am already part of a tandem? But like I said, I respect what Chiz did even when he did not inform us about his decision to leave],” she said. (Source: Legarda rejects calls for presidential bid in 2010 )

Tama naman di ba? Remember the announcement made by Mark, the son of Danding? Baka nairita ang Chiz because he was not made to choose who’s gonna be his Veep. Dito pa lang pawn na sya. Sa NPC. As “non-player character”. Now you know ba’t nang-galaiti sina Cojuangco.

I think it’s not her, its him.

And so the man without a party said no to Gibo.

I will never jump ship and join the administration, particularly because its term is ending. Besides, I honor and respect Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, but it seems impossible for that team-up to happen,” Escudero said on dzMM radio. (Source: The man without a party says no to Teodoro, Villar)

And no to Villar…

Given what I have seen and read about the allegations raised in the C-5 controversy, it seems to be just the tip of the iceberg. I cannot in good conscience run with or under him,” he said. (Source: The man without a party says no to Teodoro, Villar)

And so the media zarzuela continues and for all its worth, Chiz resignation from NPC certainly is doing him good. Pinag-uusapan pa rin sya sa barberya up to today. And that’s what you need. Hopefully the fire doesn’t burn down and culminate into something, like… ahh… supporters.

And for Chiz…

Its just him.
