‘Truth is GMA won’
An epidemic of amnesia seems to be sweeping our country, leading to hysterical demagoguery. Try to remember the facts.
The opposition in 2004 was so much of a squabbling, disunited pack that everyone wanted to be president. The result: Panfilo Lacson helped defeat Fernando Poe Jr. by grabbing 11 percent of the votes, with the late Raul Roco and Ed Villanueva together getting 12 percent. All these votes could have gone to a single opposition candidate – but didn’t.
