MANILA – Ruling party standard-bearer Gilberto Teodoro Jr will not turn his back on party mate President Gloria Arroyo, but he will not be her puppet.
Teodoro stressed that if President Arroyo wins in her 2010 congressional bid and eventually becomes Speaker of the House, they will be serving in different chambers of government.
The presidential bet of ruling party Lakas-Kampi-Christian Muslim Democrats was replying to a question posed during the ABS-CBN News Channel’s “Harapan” presidential debate on President Arroyo’s influence over the government should Teodoro win.
Teodoro stressed the platforms of the party, which he currently heads, will prevail.
He expects President Arroyo to observe the party’s positions.
“Miyembro po, kung sakaling manalo si Pangulong Arroyo, ng lehislatura. Ang trabaho po nila ay gumawa ng batas. Bagama’t magka-partido kami, inaasahan po natin na ako po, bilang pinuno ng Lakas-Kampi-CMD, ay susunod ang magiging kongresista…na pinangungunahan ko.” Teodoro said, smiling. MORE
