CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — The Liberal Party (LP) led by Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has sworn in many local aspirants as party members in this province known as a bailiwick of the Arroyo administration.

A group of Kapampangans also launched the Noynoy Aquino for President Movement to support the presidential bid of the LP standard-bearer.

Aquino, who was here Monday to lead the oath-taking of the newest members of the LP in Pampanga, named the LP local aspirants here who will represent the party in the May 2010 elections.

Some of the LP bets in the province are mayoral candidates Norman Lacson (Magalang), Victor Tiglao (Mabalacat), Agnes Yambao (Minalin), Mozart Panlaqui (Sasmuan), Vice Mayor Diman Datu (Bacolor), and Vice Mayor Jing Capil (Porac).

Politicians who are eyeing higher posts are also in the list, including Vice Mayors Bajun Lacap of Masantol and Juvy Navarro of Macabebe who will reportedly run for mayor in their respective towns.

At present, LP has yet to name the gubernatorial and vice gubernatorial bets of the party in the province.

No aspirant has also showed intention to run as representatives for the province’s four congressional districts.

It was reported that the party is eyeing the incumbent Panlilio to run for reelection under the party, but the priest-turned-politician is still undecided.
