Arroyo’s plan for 2010 still unknown
MANILA — The election lawyer of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo advised her critics to wait until December 1 if she would file her certificate of candidacy for any position or not.
Lawyer Romulo Macalintal said the President is qualified to run in any elective position in 2010 elections other than the presidency.
Macalintal, who served as Arroyo’s election lawyer in the 2004 presidential elections, said that at present, there had been no discussions about the President’s plans after her term ends in June 30, 2010.
He said it is a personal decision and judgment that Arroyo would have to make amid calls from some allies and fear from her critics that she might run for Congress or even the vice presidency.
”She has not said anything about any plan to run for public office. Let us just wait until December 1. Let’s have more suspense on this issue,” Macalintal said. (more)
