                    [Summary] => The sudden departure of presidential candidate former Sen. Raul Roco for the United States for chronic back pain has virtually orphaned his supporters who are really left in the dark as to whether he is merely suffering simple back pain or as some medical practitioners here believe, pain symptomatic of prostate cancer. People ask if it were simple back pain, why didn’t Roco visit his friendly neighborhood manghihilot?

                    [Summary] => CEBU — Alliances and splits are forming among the gubernatorial candidates here that could diffuse, confuse or reduce the three-way fight in the province. 


Talk was thick that Sen. John Henry "Sonny" Osmeña and his estranged brother, the former governor Emilio Osmeña, have put their ill-feelings behind and have reportedly formed tactical alliances to shore up John Gregory "John-John" Osmeña, the senator’s son, to be the governor of Cebu.

Herrera made the endorsement amid calls for a coalition between Lakas-CMD and the Nationalist People’s Coalition in the province. Martinez is affiliated with NPC.


This development brings new cracks in the otherwise fractious Cebu politics.

"We admit we have our problems in Lakas, but we will solve them," he said as he expressed optimism that the Lakas factions — his own and that of the Martinezes — would be united just in time for the 2004 elections.
