Bayani Fernando, Bagumbayan Vice-presidential candidate said he is confident of winning “at least 90 percent” of support of the members of the ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD. Fernando said they are supporting him instead of the Lakas official candidate, actor Edu Manzano.

“I am their most logical ally,” said Fernando.

Fernando is the running mate of Senator Richard Gordon of the Bagumbayan Party ( “The Transformers” ). Fernando abandoned his original plan to run for president after the Lakas-Kampi-CMD national executive committee picked then Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro over him as the administration candidate.

Richard Gordon said that it was all right if Lakas-Kampi-CMD members to support Fernando. He said: “That’s good, if Lakas members are supporting him. I want him to win because he is better than any of the other (vice presidential) candidates.”

Gordon denied speculations of a rift between him and Fernando as they are rarely seen campaigning together. Fernando explained that he and Gordon are rarely seen together because they sometimes have conflicting schedules. Bayani added that Gordon is often invited to presidential forums.
