The result of the Aquino/Roxas tandem to some of the members of the opposition

Some members of the opposition said that the formal announcement of Aquino/Roxas tandem may possibly close the door to unity.
Former President Joseph Estrada said he is still determined to run in 2010 and has no plan to ask Aquino to give way. But he would like to talk to Aquino about having a single lineup for the senatorial and local positions.
Loren Legarda, on the other hand, is looking into a possible Legarda/Escudero-Escudero/Legarda tandem in which she believes will also have its strength. She also said the fight will be a friendly one but the level of debate is high and issues would be at the forefront of the campaign.
But Villar still has no team, and Escudero and Legarda both shared the same opinion that Villar will need a credible team because of the recent issues he had that affected his record in politics. But with Willie Revillame as his strong supporter, things might change for Villar.
