People Power can broaden its claim on Noynoy

People who are, for any reason, not so excited about having Noynoy Aquino as the presidential bet only of the Liberal Party ought to be conscious that Aksyong Demokratriko, 3rd placer party in the 1998 presidential election with Raul Roco as its bet, has already adopted him.

Days after AD's move, Mar Roxas announced he was dropping out of the presidential race to give way to Aquino. Earlier, Ed Panlilio also announced the same but i don't know whether his political party was adopting Noynoy as their candidate to replace Panlilio. Meanwhile, as Noynoy agonizes in his decision-making, other groups can come forth and proclaim him as their own nominee to actively campaign for later. Even the Akbayan party-list, as an organization (not as a party relevant only to the party-list representation in the House of Representatives), can transfer its much earlier endorsement from Mar Roxas o Noynoy.

The more groups there would be doing this, the more Noynoy can deserve being in the race as People Power's own bet, and not only of Aksyong Demokratiko and LP. That is, if he finally decides to run.
