Yesterday, Chiz Escudero bolted his potical party for 11 years , the NPC. His move was deemed as political suicide in terms of his ambition to become the President of the Philippines. We have to admit that to become a President you need a political machinery that will carry your message down to the lowest level of the government.
On the other hand, it might be good for him since, he advocated against graft and corruption in the government. He aligned himself with the opposition eventhough his own party are aligned with the current corrupt government. With Danding Conjuangco as the Chairman Emeritus of NPC, he will not be able to fully convey his messages against Graft and Corruption since Danding for all we know had been involved with the corrupt government of Marcos.
What's next for him? Although I really want him to run as President it is almost impossible for him to do so without a party and without MONEY. He needs at least 1-2 billion pesos to mount a credible campaign. The most viable option for him is to run for vice-President either with Manny Villar or Gilbert Teodoro. But that will also will run contrary to what he said in the past that he can't run with Villar become of the controversy Villar is involved with (C-5 controversy). With Teodoro it is very highly unlikely that he will associate with the current administration that he opposed since he was a congressman. I have a feeling that he might run with either Richard Gordon or Bayani Fernando. If I have to chose I might go with Richard Gordon since he has a good track record.
Reality-wise he might just finish his term as a senator and run in the next Presidential election. Abangan ang susunod na kabanata!!!
Whatever you decide chiz, me and my family will always support you!!!
