Teodoro twits de
Castro |
|
Ruling party yet to pick presidential candidate |
|
By Jefferson Antiporda, Reporter
Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro,
apparently at the risk of picking a fight with Vice President Noli
de Castro, on Friday insisted that the administration party was yet
to pick its standard-bearer in the 2010 elections, contrary to de
Castro saying that President Gloria Arroyo had chosen him.
Since the ruling coalition
Lakas-Kampi Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) has not decided on who
its presidential candidate would be in next year’s polls, Teodoro
said, he will just wait for its final word.
