TRIBUNE: POLL VICTORY VINDICATES GMA - LAKAS EXEC
The overwhelming victory of former Pres and now Pamp Rep. Gloria M-Arroyo in her re-election bid is a vindication for the former head of state, a top official of Lakas Party yesterday said. "Despite not being able to campaign as she is currently under hospital arrest, the former pres won because of her track record," Lakas president and Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez said. Meanwhile, the former president's son, CamSur Rep. Diosdado "Dato" Arroyo, also won in his reelection bid, besting outgoing provincial Gov. Luis "LRay" Villafuerte. The younger Arroyo also of Lakas Party garnered a total of 65,926 votes against Villafuerte's 57,436 votes for a winning margin of 8,490 votes. He was proclaimed winner by the Commission on Elections shortly before noon yesterday.
