‘Walang kapalit,’ says Noynoy of INC support
By Jjun Bana (philstar.com) Updated May 05, 2010 04:20 PM
MANILA, Philippines – Liberal Party standard bearer Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III said the support that the Iglesia ni Cristo gave his and Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II’s candidacies came without anything in return.“There’s no quid pro quo,” Aquino said when asked whether or not there had been any offer either from the LP or the INC for the latter to throw its support behind the candidacies of the LP presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
During its worship service this morning, the INC said “it [is] for the betterment of the country that [we] are supporting Aquino and Roxas, who are campaigning on a platform of freedom from corruption, the foremost cause of povery and injustice” in the Philippines.
“Ipinapasiya namin na iboto si Noynoy Aquino at Mar Roxas para sa presidente at bise-presidente [We have chosen to vote for Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas as our President and Vice-President],” said Ka Eduardo Manalo, INC executive minister in a statement.
At a press conference this afternoon, Aquino read his joint statement of gratitude to INC with Roxas.
Erap ‘saddened’ by INC decision to endorse Noynoy
Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino standard-bearer former President Joseph Estrada said on Wednesday that he was “saddened” by the Iglesia ni Cristo’s decision to endorse the candidacy of Liberal Party presidential bet Senator Benigno Aquino III. Estrada, who received INC’s endorsement when he ran for president in the 1998 national elections, said that not getting the religious group’s backing in the upcoming polls will be “a big loss” for his candidacy.
He added that he was “saddened” by the decision because he has very close friends in the INC.
The former president however said that he respects the INC’s choice, and vowed to work harder during the last days of the campaign.

Posted at 05/11/2010 4:34 PM | Updated as of 05/11/2010 5:13 PMMANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) – Former president Joseph Estrada on Tuesday said he will not concede to presidential frontrunner, Liberal Party presidential bet Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, until after Congress finishes the official canvass of the results of the country’s first ever nationwide automated elections.
The younger Estrada said his father could have been assured of victory if the powerful Iglesia ni Cristo had endorsed him instead of Aquino. The INC sect is the only religious group in the country that practices bloc voting.
“Had the Iglesia ni Cristo voted in favor of President Estrada, it would have been a good fight,” he said.
