Erap announced that he won't give way to Noynoy

ABS-CBN reports, Erap won't give way to Noynoy. This is an example of how dirty our politics is. A president at one time, found guilty of plunder, sentenced but later pardoned by Arroyo, and now aspires to run again for president. I say "nakakaloka, hindi ko 'to kinaya!"

Estrada, 72, derided Senator Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III, who earlier on Wednesday declared his candidacy in the May 10, 2010 election, 40 days after his mother's death. He dismissed the younger Aquino as a candidate of the rich.

"It doesn't change a thing. My plan is unchanged," Estrada, 72, told AFP, commenting on the bid by Aquino and another announcement by the mayor of Manila's financial district, Jejomar Binay, that he would no longer run.

"Let us let the people decide, not the elites and the bourgeois," Estrada said.

People are confused with Estrada calling for unity and yet he is causing division to the opposition. Estrada may be a popular politician but his record was tainted badly as one of the world's corrupt leaders together with Marcos. So why would anyone vote for Estrada? I wonnder.
