GMA open to Roco tie-up.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Juliet Labog-Javellana and TJ Burgonio
SHE'S open to the idea of negotiations, but he's not.
President Macapagal-Arroyo is confident that her platform and achievements in the past three years are sufficient to carry her to victory in the May elections, and that she is within "striking distance" of Fernando Poe Jr., the leader in pre-election surveys.
However, her spokesperson Ignacio Bunye yesterday told RMN radio, she was open to the idea of negotiations for the withdrawal of Raul Roco from the presidential race to seal her victory, as earlier suggested by political analysts.
But Roco, a former senator and education secretary, is not biting.
"The only negotiation [that we will agree to] is for [the President] to quit," his campaign adviser Jaime Galvez-Tan said in a phone interview. "We will not quit the race. We will pursue our goals. We believe in the Filipino people. They truly want enlightened leadership and principled politics."
