The moment I saw Sen. Loren Legarda occupying a prominent role in the release of Ces Drilon, I almost fell from my seat. Loren Legarda without any semblance of delicadeza took another opportunity to propel her selfish agenda of promoting herself for the 2010 elections. Good thing that political blogger, uniffors.com, had written a fine article (”Separated at Birth”) on the sudden starring role of presidential wannabe, Loren Legarda and spared me from emotions of writing down my disgust over the political opportunity master stroke of the Gloria Arroyo clone.
Take it away Manuel!
Manolo also reprinted the following text circulated yesterday:
I was at a luncheon mtg w Ed Espiritu. He is an unimpeachable source re Ces Drilon kidnap. He is family, brother of mom of ces. He can’t believe d gall of Loren daw. She got into d picture only after family of Ces paid 5M. That’s when first cameraman was released. They had to pay some more for d release of the Ces and Jimmy. Ces felt she had no choice but to go along w Loren’s script. Loren even directed plane to taxi more to change position so they would be facing camera when dey disembark & she told Ces that she has to emerge from plane first and dat Ces should follow only after 10 mins. And now Loren and Ed Angara want Ces to seek an audience w GMA. Ces knows she’s being used but at d time of her release she felt she had no choice. By d way d family also thinks dat d mayor being held now is guilty. He & Loren were also d ones who negotiated w kidnappers of Arlene de la Cruz w same MO.
The text explains why all of a sudden, wannabe president Loren Legarda, emerged from a jet with the kidnap victims in tow and why, at the press conference after disembarkation, she was seated beside Ces Drilon while the other victims were relegated to the sidelines. All of a sudden she was the hero. Meanwhile, her fellow negotiator is being charged with masterminding the kidnapping.
Steal the show. Take the Oscar for someone else’s performance. Just like Gloria.
As of this post, I am still waiting if the Loren-scripted call of Ces and company on Gloria will happen. If it pushes through then we know that Loren will bed anyone for the presidency.

In 2007, Gloria Arroyo spent P588.5 million for foreign travels and P34.1 million for domestic travels, respectively, according to the Commission on Audit (COA)’s report on the 2007 financial transactions of Malacañang.
Today,she is off again for a 10-day trip to the U.S.
The size and scope of the presidential entourage are always staggering.
