Manila, Dec. 24, 2009 - It's final and official: Senator Rico Hizon has agreed to run for vice president as Noli de Castro's running mate in the opposition coalition party Laban ng Makabayang Masang Pilipino (LAMMP).
The de Castro-Hizon ticket was announced yesterday at a Manila Hotel press conference, where Senate President opposition leader Ernesto Maceda was conspicuously absent. Maceda was reportedly still brooding over having been ignored when de Castro and Angara went ahead without his approval.
Angara said he decided to give up his presidential ambition in order to ensure the victory and unity of the opposition in next year's elections.
