Manila, Philippines — Nacionalista Party (NP) standard-bearer Sen. Manuel Villar, angrily said on Sunday that contrary to reports, there was no “deal” between him and President Gloria Arroyo or her husband, Mike Arroyo.
In an interview before going onstage with El Shaddai Leader Mike Velarde, Villar expressed that he was already furious with the Liberal Party for linking him with the Arroyos.
Earlier at the same occassion, Sen. Noynoy Aquino III told reporters that his allies have received reports of a puported alliance between Villar and Mike Arroyo. He refused to elaborate, as it was still Holy Week.
Meanwhile, former President Joseph Estrada comments that said talks of the alleged alliance would work against the NP standard bearer. “I have to say that’s a disadvantage to Manny.” Estrada said.
Aquino (the front-runner in the surveys) and Estrada (third after Villar and trailed by Teodoro) had left the El Shaddai Easter celebration before Villar and his party arrived.
