The 2010 presidential campaign of Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro was formally launched in November 2009, upon nomination acceptance in Lakas–Kampi National Convention at the Philippine International Convention Center.

Lakas nomination

[edit]

In July 2009, Defense Secretary Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro resigned from Nationalist People's Coalition, a party led by his uncle Danding Cojuangco. Teodoro sworn in as new member of newly merged Lakas–Kampi. Teodoro's admission to Lakas will be a possible sign for seeking nomination for president.[1]

MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando insisted that the party should choose an “original” and “loyal” member, and not the one who only joined the party to seek nomination.[2] Lakas also considered many candidates as its presidential nominee, such as Vice President Noli de Castro, former House Speaker Sonny Belmonte, Dick Gordon,[3] Former PNP chief and DPWH Secretary Hermogenes "Jun" Ebdane, even though not a party member,[4] and Actor and Senator Bong Revilla.[5] By September, Teodoro filed his name on the nomination process,[2] and Lakas shortlisted the party's choices between Teodoro and Fernando.[6] In October, Ronaldo Puno was poised to be his running mate.[7]

In November, Teodoro was officially picked by his party as nominee for presidential election in 2010.[8] Teodoro picked actor, TV host, and former Makati Vice Mayor Edu Manzano as his running mate.[9][10][11]

Campaign

[edit]

Villaroyo issue

[edit]

In the campaign for 2010, rumor speculated that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo did not support Teodoro, as the latter only ranked fourth in the survey, behind his cousin Noynoy Aquino, Manny Villar, and former president Joseph Estrada. The rumor also said that Arroyo supported Villar's campaign, thus earning a 'Villaroyo' title, with combining the surname of Villar and Arroyo.[12][13] Arroyo denied the accusation and voiced out her support at Teodoro's campaign.[14]

Support base

[edit]

Cebu congresswoman Nerissa Soon-Ruiz of One Cebu supported Teodoro's campaign, and urged the people of Cebu to support and vote him. But in the holy week of 2010, she supported Villar's campaign.[15]

Result

[edit]

Teodoro eventually lost to his cousin and Manzano lost to Makati mayor Jejomar Binay.[16] Teodoro conceded with a statement of what hurt him most is the betrayal of people he trusted.[17]
