Senators Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Loren Lgarda — are they the local Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? What do you guys think?

The presidential elections is nearing, and by now, a lot have already expressed their intention to run as our highest official. There’s VP Noli de Castro, Senators Manny Villar and Mar Roxas, MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando, and Mayor Jejomar Binay. Even former President Joseph Estrada is being rumored as the opposition bet, if the group would really, literally be in the opposition — if they wouldnt unite.

Senator Loren Legarda has already expressed desire to run as President — I even saw her say in an interview that she wont be able to implement her projects fully unless she is “captain of the ship” (something like that). Of course, opposition also has Senator Chiz Escudero, who people are seeing as a strong candidate… but has yet to acknowledge since he is still “currently” underage. He will turn 40 come October, though.

Now going back, could it be that Senators Chiz and Loren go the Obama and Clinton way… where they would debate their way as the Opposition President, and… who ever loses would just have to be content on becoming part of his/her cabinet? (provided that he/she wins?)

… just thinking out loud.
