MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE) Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto and former Senator Ralph Recto are joining the Liberal Party (LP) and support the team-up of Senators Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and Manuel “Mar” Roxas II in the 2010 elections.

At the convention, Roxas also announced the LP’s senatorial slate composed of Recto, former congressman Neric Acosta, former Senator Franklin Drilon, Bukidnon Representative Teofisto Guingona III, Akbayan Representative Risa Hontiveros, detained general Danilo Lim, and former Senator Serge Osmena.

Recto informed Aquino and Roxas about his and his wife’s decision to align with the LP in a dinner with them at the Roxas residence in Cubao, Quezon City Saturday night.

"I think you have a good team in the LP under the leadership of Senator Noynoy and Senator Mar," Recto told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The decision to join the LP came after a month-long consultation with family, friends, supporters, and stakeholders in Batangas, according to Recto.

Recto earlier said he and his wife were choosing between the LP and the Nacionalista Party of Senator Manuel Villar Jr to join forces with.

But after accepting the LP offer Saturday night, Recto said he called Villar, the NP standard-bearer, of their decision.

"It will never be easy for him and me as well," he said, when asked how Villar reacted to the news.

Recto called Villar as "a good friend" and wished him luck. Recto and Villar were together in the Senate’s Wednesday Group, which also included Senators Francis Pangilinan, Joker Arroyo, and Vice President Noli De Castro.

Santos-Recto will be the LP’s candidate for governor in Batangas, Quezon province Representative Lorenzo “Erin” Tanada III said in a phone interview.

Santos-Recto, a multi-awarded actress, confirmed the statement in a text message, but said the party is still finalizing the date of the oath-taking.

Tanada said the oath-taking could take place in Batangas. He added that Santos-Recto is expected to bring with her to the LP local officials of the province.

The couple ran under the administration party Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrat (CMD), which has now merged with Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi), in the 2007 election.

Santos-Recto won her first term as governor while Recto lost in the senatorial slate. He was appointed director general of the National Economic Development Authority (Neda) but resigned in August to pursue his plans to seek a Senate seat.

The actress has been touted as one of the possible vice presidential candidates of the administration party Lakas-Kampi-CMD, but she repeatedly turned this down, saying she wanted to continue serving her province.

Actor and television host Edu Manzano was eventually chosen the vice presidential candidate of Lakas-Kampi.

“That’s terrible news for the administration party if it happens,” Speaker Prospero Nograles, Lakas-Kampi vice chairman, said in a text message from the United States when asked for his reaction.

Santos-Recto started her political career as Lipa City mayor before becoming Batangas governor

dugay na ni kalayaton si recto... mas maayo pa noon ni siya kay neresign daan.. kaysa uban dha nga gigamit hangtod karon ang katungdanan... la ko mahibulong nga nilayat sila, some parties dont serve what their platforms tell... usa pa walay mapili ani nila, thier loyalty is not to the people or to the party but to their own vested interest...

[raski]

We have never been loyal as a people, so how can we blame these officials for being a reflection of us? How many people do you know work for companies, were trained there than never think twice about jumping ship when another company offers them a higher salary? That's why most companies here don't bother training their employees anymore or make them sign contracts to return the money if they resign too soon after undertaking training. Or look at the squatters who are so hard headed and refuse to vacate land that by law they do not own. Mangisog pa.. unya manglabay og bato sa pulis. Wura rabag tag-iya. Sus...

So how can we expect different kind of leaders. These people are just reflecting our culture of betrayal and looking out for #1.

There's a house near the flyover in Banilad Rd (intersection A.S. Fortuna), I think everyone who lives or commutes through Banilad knows which house I'm talking about, whose gate was blocked by squatters for almost 20 years before the courts finally forced them to leave.

In the meantime, in those 2 decades of suffering, the poor family that owns the lot and house had to pass the squatters each time they go in and out of their gate to their own property and to think of the daily threats to their life and property as the case was ongoing! Mao ni ang batasan nato, maayoi mo reklamo kung laing tao ang sayop pero dili kahibao manamin...

it's amazing some folks around here cheers when some politicos do these shameful acts.
