Dingdong Dantes, Herbert “Bistek” Bautista, “Isko Moreno,” Leila de Lima, Francis Tolentino and Leni Robredo.
They are among the 19 names short-listed for the administration coalition’s senatorial slate for the 2016 elections, according to Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice, a member of the ruling Liberal Party (LP).
Only 12 seats in the 24-member Senate are at stake in May next year.
Actor Dantes is the husband of actress Marian Rivera and a commissioner-at-large of the National Youth Commission. Bautista is mayor of Quezon City while Isko Moreno is Manila Vice Mayor Francisco Domagoso. De Lima is the justice secretary and Robredo is Camarines Sur representative and widow of the former Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo.
The LP list includes reelectionists and former senators and members of the House of Representatives.
Others being considered for the administration senatorial ticket, Erice said, are reelectionists Senate President Franklin Drilon and Senators Ralph Recto, Teofisto Guingona III and Sergio Osmeña III; and former senators Panfilo Lacson and Francis Pangilinan.
Also on the list are Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla; Joel Villanueva, head of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority; Francis Tolentino, chair of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority; Philippine Health Insurance Corp. Director Risa Hontiveros; Representatives Roman Romulo of Pasig City (who is on his third and last term), Rufus Rodriguez of Cagayan de Oro (also on his last term), Lino Cayetano of Taguig and Mark Villar of Las Piñas.
June announcement
Erice said the lineup of the LP coalition would be finalized after the announcement of its candidates for president and vice president in June and after negotiations with coalition partners—the Nationalist People’s Coalition, Nacionalista Party, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, National Unity Party and Akbayan Citizens Action Party.
“We hope to announce our choice for our presidential candidate before the end of June. We hope to start formal talks with our allies from July to September. It will all start with our choice for president,” Erice said in a phone interview.
Erice said that at present, the LP was considering only Interior Secretary Mar Roxas as its presidential candidate.
Sen. Grace Poe was being considered for Roxas’ running mate although no formal talks had been made with the daughter of the late actor-director Fernando Poe Jr., he said.
In an interview on dzIQ, Erice confirmed reports that Energy Secretary Petilla had already submitted his resignation to President Aquino.
The LP lawmaker said Aquino had accepted Petilla’s resignation but no replacement had yet been found.
Filing of candidacy
Erice said he expected Roxas and De Lima to announce their resignations in June. Candidates for senator must file their certificates of candidacy in October.
Lacson is on the list because he has not yet decided on making a run for president in 2016, according to Erice.
The LP included Cayetano, a brother of Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano, and Villar, a son of Sen. Cynthia Villar and former Senate President Manny Villar, because it had to reserve seats for its coalition partners.
Erice said that although Isko Moreno belonged to the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino party of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, the former movie actor had sent word to LP officials that he wanted to join the administration’s senatorial ticket.
Strong line up.
ReplyDeleteTanggalin na ang senado at kongreso at magluklok na ng Hari! Malapit na ang katapusan…
DeleteBrgy Captain nlng dahil yun ang dapat palakasin! Tanggalin ang senado at kongreso para mapabilis ang progreso at pondo para sa mga tao! Baranggay dapat ang iimprove dahil ang powers nito e executive parang presidente o mayor o governor kaso walang gustong tumakbong big name dito dahil walang PDAF/PORK senado o kongreso 200mil at 70mil per year respectively kaya mas marami gusto magsenador! Pero kung sa mga baranggay ilalagpak mga PDAF/PORK e madali kasing masilip ang mga kabuktutan ng mga namumuno ng kanilang mga constituents kaya ayaw ng mga powers that be! Kelangan national level ang pondohan para maraming padding sa korapsyon!
DeleteHa hah ha bakit nakasali si DDD? Di ipagpalit ni dong ang pamilya niya oi? Sinasabi na nya pabalikbalik di siya papasok sa Pulitika sa 2016.
DeletePolitical dynasty reigns! Kaya hindi na talaga aasenso ang Pilipinas!
DeleteNu ba yan puro artista na rin nasa gobyerno
ReplyDeleteSana wag na tumakbo si dingdong sana magfocus nalang siya kay marian
ReplyDeleteWag kana tumakbo dingdong baka matulad kalang kay bong revilla
ReplyDeleteOMG! Seriously? Pampalit kay Bong at Jinggoy? Goodness! Wala na talagang pagasa ang Pinas. Makapagmigrate na nga.
ReplyDeleteStart packing na. goooo
DeleteTrue! Nakaka awa ang bansa natin! Do migrate if you have the chance, that's what I did 11 years ago.
Delete2:28
Deleteyoko . sarap kaya sa pinas! ang saya pa! kitam mga artista nasa gobyerno?!
bwahaha
Maraming tumakbo na wala namang alam sa batas. Sana si robin nalang
ReplyDeleteDD? Agad agad. Huwag naman. Mag brgy chairman muna siya. At saka manganganak asawa mo kaya yun lang muna saka na ang politics.
ReplyDeleteHuh! Ikaw na ang brgy Chairman huwag munang idamay si DD.
DeleteSobrang OA mo
DeleteOh please! Idagdag pa si Pacman for Pres paktay ka diha dong!
ReplyDeleteUtang na loob Dingdong! wag ka na pumasok sa pulitika! wala ka pa ngang napatunayan sa showbiz (best actor pweh!) how much more sa poltics???
ReplyDeleteBitter that much si lola U.
DeleteWalang napatunayan sa showbiz ha ha ha ingggit ka lang beks
DeleteAysus survey pa lang iyan ha. Fan ako ni DD pagka alam ko wala siyang plano papasok sa politics. Mabait at maypanindigan si Dong.
DeleteDingdong is too raw for that high post-wag na yung fan defensive just because of his wife. They enjoy extravagance and tha's something to consider. he will soon get more father roles and same with MR di na sya pwedeng leading lady.
DeleteSana matuto na tayo sa mga naunang artista na sumabak sa politika pero waley naman talaga nagawa para sa bansa natin, at ska DIRTY ang politics kahit gaano ka pa kalinis eh eventually madudungisan ka din, matetempt ka, macocorrupt ka, look at Bong, Jinggoy, Erap, etc.
Deletewhat a hateful person you are! dingdong may not be fit to run for senator yet, but are you even aware of the volunteer work he does? yung best actor nya recently was given by the golden screen, which is far more credible than star awards di ba? wag ka naman masyadong hater.
DeletePinagmalaki ang award giving body dito sa pinas. Ngek, as if credible?
Delete-matangLawin
God save the Philippines!
ReplyDeletewe do not need another bong revilla, lito lapid, tito sotto in the senate please!!!! mga Filipino magising na kayo!!! walang mga utak yang mga yan!!!! bakit nyo pa iboboto!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNakaka awa talaga ang inang bayan. Sana naman matuto na ang mga kabayan natin na bumoto ng tama pero siguro wala din kaseng matinong maiboto ang mga tao, this is truly sad
DeleteWag mo din icompare si dingdong, bistek at isko kina bong at jinggoy. Bistek studied law at san beda, DD and isko both graduated. Lets not judge.
DeleteBago mo itaas ang blood pressure mo, linawin ko lang ha. Yung mga nabanggit mong pangalan, artistahin sila pero walang natapos kaya walang alam sa trabaho nila. Kahit naman paano siguro mas may alam naman si mr dantes dahil may inabot na rin sya kung sakali.
DeleteYou dont know what will happen in the future, dear. Huwag masyadong fantard! Stop the gayagaya puto maya! 10.42
DeleteSeriously?!!! Hay naku! Kawawa naman ang Pinas.
ReplyDeleteHiyang hiya naman ako kay Dingdong senator agad??!

DeleteBakit ka mahihiya kay DD kamaganak kaba niya?
DeleteBakit gusto mo ikaw ang mag se senator? At bakit ka mahihiya kay dd magnanakaw ka ba? Echosssss mo lang.
DeleteHiyang hiya naman ako sa mga lupon ng fans nya dito, bulag na bulag.
Deletewag masyado ambitious DD baka matulad ka kila Bong & Jinggoy
DeleteUTANG NA LOOB!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOVVVEEEE Marian pero hinding hindi ko susuportahan si DD sa political ambition niya. There are more qualified people than DD. Tapos LIBERAL PARTY pa? No thank you.
agree!!!
DeleteI dislike people from LP! Birds of the same feather flock together! Takipan dito, takipan doon! Kabilang dyan ang most corrupt politicians!
Deletematalino ka 12:35AM! Kahit fan ka, still ur using ur brain, not just being a fanatic na lang unlike others... Ganyan dapat Pilipino, sa showbiz ok magpaka-fan ka whatever, pero pagdating sa usapin ng ating bansa eh we should be critical, take it seriously, vigilant & use carefully our minds kasi buhay na din natin at ng pamilya sa bansa ang nakasalalay dito, overall na kumbaga
DeleteDingDong FTW
ReplyDeleteBaka WTF

ReplyDeleteI really like Mr Dantes, he seems like a good person, he helped a lot of people already even if he's not a politician but I am not in favor of him running for office, politicians in our country are corrupt, so kahit na mabuting tao ka Mr Dantes eh baka masali ka sa mga bad people in politics. So sana stay ka na lang sa mga volunteer works mo, we appreciate what you do.
ReplyDeleteTama ka te.
Deletekaso that's the main purpose behind his pgtulong..right from the start i think gusto na tlaga pumsaok sa politika.gosh!
DeleteIto din fear ko for DD baka masira pangalan nya sa maduming politika
Deletetama anon 12:41AM!
Deletemay point si anon 5:55AM, yan din na-observe ko lalo na last year di ba drastic ung changes sa image niya pati na rin sa spouse niya, ginroom talaga maige... just my observation... no offense... About sa KINABUKASAN NA KASI NG BANSA NATIN ITO kaya dapa lang na observant o vigilant tayo, dapat matuto na! IT'S NOW OR NEVER!
DeleteWow! Natawa naman ako nasali sa list si dingdong. Politics nga naman sa pinas, Boom PANEEES!!
ReplyDeleteLalo tayong nababaon
DeleteWhether Dingdong will run or not I will vote for him. Aside from being an artist and Marian Rivera's husband you guys should know High School pa lang ako and Hindi pa gnun kasikat Si Dingdong He already is sponsoring scholarship para sa mga Anak ng sundalo. My dad is in the military so I know the news. Then came Yes Pinoy, before it was televised and before it has received donations and etc... He uses his own money to help and even now. Their agendas are good like the chairs and etc... He is a college grad. Before you say something bad to him because he is an artist know that not everyone is the same. Aside from paying millions sa taxes he has a good genuine heart. He said he won't run before right ksi priority nya is his wife but I think Pnoy is asking him because of hatak sa masa. He is a reliable one, hear him speak in crowd and how he advocate. Godbless If you ever run!
ReplyDeleteDD? seriously?
ReplyDeleteDingdong? Seriously?!
ReplyDeleteI'll understnad Isko and Herbert. But Dingdong for senator?! No doubt, he's intelligent and educated. But for a posts that high, you might want to scale down on your goals dude.
agree! Ang politics dapat pinagaaralan muna maige, wag basta sabak sa gyera ng hindi prepared baka magsisi sa huli... One step at a time muna dapat
DeleteGod Bless The Philippines
ReplyDeleteNakakalunglot isipin na eto na ang kinahinatnan ng politika sa bansa. Buti pa nung time ni marcos and before him. Only great minds ang leaders nten. Ngaun kahit sino nlng basta mabango ang pangalan. Sad. RIP to PH future.
ReplyDeleteJusmio marimar que barbaridad!
ReplyDeleteBa't hindi isama si Mother Lily?
ReplyDeleteKawawang Pilipinas.
ReplyDeleteHay, maraming artista nanaman. So sad! Parang teatro o pelikula lang ang senado. Walang pag asang uunlad ang pinas kung puro ganyan nanaman. Kawawa lang ang mga pinoy. Hay, nakaka inis talaga! Sana gamitin na ng mga voters ang mga utak. Sana yung hindi lang may pusong mag lingkod kundi yung may kakayahang maglingkod ng tapat at Yung kayang gumawa ng mga informed decisions Sa pamamahala ng gobyerno ang Iboto't panalunin sa eleksyon.
ReplyDeleteGawin mo ang nararapat. Tumulong ka sa pagbubukas ng isip ng mga botante. Imbes na puro "sana", tumulong ka.
DeleteMabuti pa si dingdong nakatulong sa bayan at kapwa, ito kaya mga komenter na masyadong affected wala pang confermation from dingdong may naitulong kaya? Booooooo.
ReplyDelete149 pm. Hindi naman kinukwestyon ang mga naitulong nya. Kundi ang capacity to run for senator. naitulong sa kapwa, madami. At hindi naman kailangan i media o iannounce ang pagtulong. Kasi galing sa puso yan at kung tutulong hindi nanghihingi ng kapalit.
DeleteTanggol pa, may naitulong kami, napakarami. HCW kami.
Deleteok lang humanga pero sana mas maging matalino ka pa kapag bumoto ka na, isipin mo lagay ng bansa natin, wag masyado magpadala sa mga artista
Deletetama Anon 1:41PM!
Delete#SaveThePhilippines
ReplyDeleteI'm a solid DongYan pero wag naman sana. I hope DD is intelligent enough to make the right decision. Mayor or Vice Mayor na lang muna sya to prove his worth.
ReplyDeletebaka matulad lang siya kay Sen. Sotto... nasira na name, may mga bansag pa na "sotto-copy", etc.
Delete"It would be a turn off if Dingdong decides to run for public office come 2016. No matter how genuine he may be, there is no escaping governmental corruption. He should focus on his growing family and being an independent public servant. It'd be a great shame if his political ambitions are prioritized because he seems like a great husband and has the qualities to make a good father. Government could potentially damage his most treasured relationship.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that he completely forgoes plans, but 2016 is a wee bit early considering Marianne's situation and their young marital status. Then again, he hasn't said anything yet.
If Mr. Dantes is as intelligent as he likes to portray, he would postpone politics for his family."

Wala ako sa pinas pero ramdam ko na ngaun ang pag hhirap ng pinas next year...
ReplyDeleteGod save the Philipines
Bakit wla yung comment ko about Dingdong being a good man na even before he was popular eh he was sponsoring scholarship for the children of the military. I know, my dad was in military before and news came fast. I am supporter even before he became popular and way before he was with Marian Rivera. A college graduate and an advocate of youth. paying millions of taxes and using own money for yespnoy even before donations came in. Hear him speak in the crowd. He is a potential leader if he does pursue. Kso Db he said he won't run Ksi Marian is his priority.
ReplyDeleteAlam na this! Kaya tahimik tong si DD eh sa mga issues tungkol sa president. Papost post pa sa instagram tungkol sa Charlie Hebdo shooting na nakikisimpatiya raw pero nung tungkol na sa Fallen 44 biglang naging pipi. Eh kaya naman pala eh tatakbong senador for LP! Kaloka!
ReplyDeleteTama!
DeleteAno ba yan parang walang ng pinagkaiba ang politika at showbiz... Yung mga artista nakikita mo na din sa politika.... Kawawang mga pilipino....
ReplyDeleteWag munang magwala guys survey lang yan at wala pang confirmation kung tatakbo si DD . Ang problema kasi sa ibang tao masyadong pinuproblema un mga bagay na hnd p nangyayari. At kung tumakbo man si eh di wag nyo iboto tapos dba
ReplyDeleteKung si pacman at jinky nga nasa politics,me alam ba mga yan?! MA's mainam pa si dingdong matalino at makabayan talaga! Kung ayaw nyo kay Dingdong eh d bahala kayo! Hindi naman kawalan sa kanya ang pag-ayaw nyo! Dami nyo pang Pintas sa kanya!
ReplyDeletejuice colored di pa ba natruto kina Lito Lapid, mag-amang Ramon Revilla at Jinggoy Estrada? ohmaygash abelgas! RIP (again) Phil politics!
ReplyDeleteTime to leave the country
ReplyDeleteGo!
Deleteeasy guys. dingdong has not confirmed anything yet. ang bilis mang husga ng mga tao dito. sigurado ako yung mga haters dito fantards lang ng abs-cbn, na nagkukunwaring may pakialam sa bansa. sana rin makita nila ang may ari ng favorite network nyo ang sya ring may ari ng meralco na syang matagal ng nandadaya sa atin. supreme court has ruled years ago that they return to us the money that was over-charged to us. wag nyong kakalimutan yan.
ReplyDeletedi rin anon 1:57PM... kelangang maging matalino na rin sa pagboto...
Deletethats entertainment ang gobyerno
ReplyDeleteDingDong gagamitin ka lang ng mga kapartido mong buwaya.hahawakan ka sa leeg at gagamitin ang kasikatan mo para makakuha ng votes. Kung gusto mong makatulong sa nga Filipino maraming paraan, huwag sabak ng sabak porque may nag uudyok.,huwag pabola. Pag-aralan ang batas at maging aware sa tunay na problema ng bayan. Hindi pwede yong mag sesenador agad, tapos matutulog at hikab lang sa senado ang gagawin.
ReplyDeleteJust the thought of DD for senator is ridiculously laughable
ReplyDeletePuro kurakot na talaga ang Pinas. Haist... wala ng pag asa...
ReplyDeletePag si Marian ang tumakbo boto ako kasi malinis ang puso, mapagmahal na anak, busilak ang pagtulong sa kapwa- kilala sa buong mundo si lang pinakamaganda at sexy kundi talino. Alam ko masosolve bus ang mga problema at maibibigay nya ang tamang direksyon ng Pilipinas at makagabol sa Japan at Thailand. Si Yan ang dapat maging Senador o Presidente.
ReplyDeleteMarian for Senator very qualified from LaSalle. She can bring the best in our country.
ReplyDeleteAs expected, takbuhan ng laos at wala nang racket na artista ang mag-politiko.
ReplyDeleteWala kang karapatang Dingaling; subukan mo man lang na mag-tanod muna.
agree!
DeleteI have nothing against these but talaga? That's Entertainment na sa Senado. Si Kuya Germs ang Senate President.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Pacman on the list? Binay officially announced way back pa that he's endorsing Manny to be one of his Senatorial candidates. Dios mio... Santisima!
