What Jove Francisco calls The Great Raid I call simply as Hijacking in broad daylight.

Or maybe not. Remember Mike Defensor’s unity ticket? Then you hear about the Third Force, and now this. Heck, we might just wake up one of these days to find that there are two slates remaining – UNO and the third force that is effectively hijacked by the administration.

Or maybe that’s the game plan after all.

Here’s what have happened so far:

1. Defensor calls for a ticket of unity and reconciliation, composed of admin and opposition candidates
2. Some people clamoring for a third force
3. Pangilinan, Recto and Villar confirms talk on third force idea
4. Then, this Raid – Defensor, Zubiri, and Singson on the third force slate

Conclusion?
