The election of the full slate of Team PNoy is not statistically far-fetched, considering that seven candidates of Team PNoy made it to the top 12 of the recent poll surveys, while the remaining five others are within the winning circle, Rep. Miro Quimbo, Team PNoy campaign spokesman, said Wednesday/Feb. 13.
The presence of re-electionist Senators Francis Escudero and Loren Legarda and former Movie Review Board chair Grace Poe at the Team PNoy proclamation rally on Tuesday at Plaza Miranda “is a sign of their unwavering commitment to the Team PNoy ticket,” Quimbo said.
“It’s always a dream of any team to have all its candidates win,” Quimbo said, echoing the President’s desire to have all the 12 members of Team PNoy elected to the Senate.
“It is important for the President to have a broad support in the Senate for his reform agenda,” Quimbo said.
Escudero and Legarda have consistently topped the voter preference surveys.
Rounding out the administration slate are Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, former Las Pinas Rep. Cynthia Villar, Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, Rep. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara, former Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros, former Senators Ramon Magsaysay Jr. and Jamby Madrigal and the President’s cousin, Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino.
Quimbo said the team will be divided into sub-groups during the campaign to cover more geographical areas. “There is a specific agreement for everyone to work as a united team,” he said.
In his speech at Plaza Miranda on Tuesday, President Aquino warned against “surrendering our success to those trying to waylay us,” labeling those who do so as “political chameleons.”
Quimbo said Team PNoy stands solidly behind the reform agenda of President Aquino. “If given a mandate by the electorate, the team will pursue these reforms in the Senate,” he said.
