The Ampatuans throw their support to Noynoy and Mar

I don't think the whole party of Noynoy and Mar likes the Ampatuans to support them. Who would want to be supported by someone with a very bad reputation? It would ruin their chances of winning.

It's right that everyone is considered innocent unless proven guilty but the case of the ampatuans is different. As far as i'm concerned they're as guilty as hell and they're trying to use their power to make themselves proven innocent. And i think they're easily winning.

For me, i think this is just a diversion tactic of the ampatuans and whoever is supporting him and his evil works! when people thinks of noynoy as a supporter or who receives support or even funds from the ampatuans, it could cause him to lose the position to his next greatest rival...

i also do not believe in the Ampatuans defection. the first time one Ampatuan, the one under the NBI before, wearing a Villar band on his wrist, only means that he supports Villar. the siding of the Ampatuans to Noynoy and Mar is really a big joke, in my opinion.

hello advocate, he just wants a way out so he decided to send his support hoping he will get something in return. apparently, the Nationalista Camp refuses his support so he would just go to the Liberal Party camp? What's Is he insane? what can he do? how he would explain the people that they should vote for him? One thing they are in common though. Ampatuans are for Maguindanao Massacre and Aquinos are for Hacienda Luisita Massacre. hee's just fooling around,who's gonna support him,

noynoy said Perhaps its a joke so obviously its a NO for the ampatuans.

Noynoy and Mar has not accepted the Ampatuans' support. And true, only in the Philippines can you see a person who has been incarcerated call for a press conference. In other countries, it would be their lawyer that will read whatever it is that they have to say in public. Here, not only has Ampatuan been able to call and hold a press conference, the whole thing was covered by the media and aired on national television. It only shows how much freedom these guys have even after being "jailed".

It made me laugh about hearing that news just this morning. That is just a tactic of Gloria Macapagal to make the survey of Noynoy became weak because she really supports Manny Villar for the win. Noynoy is just not pro for Ampatuans. When he said No Thanks it means he don't like the Ampatuans to support him but he is not judging the Ampatuans. Anyhow the Ampatuans are really guilty of the crimes they committed, no question asked.

Noynoy Aquino already close his doors to the Ampatuans. I just cannot understand this clan, just a week ago they are endorsing Manny Villar, and now that they sensed Noynoy continues to soar high on surveys and the man who would likely most to win this election, they shifted their support to him. I am certain Noynoy and Mar would never accept the endorsement.

when I heard this on the news yesterday, I was literally dumbfounded. imagine what Noynoy and Mar must have felt when they heard the news. I guess this would test them on how they stand with the national issues.

i think it's just a propaganda against noynoy and mar.

It is said that one is innocent until proven guilty, but in the Ampatuans' case, many people think they are guilty. With regards to Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr. press conference of the whole Ampatuan supporting Noynoy and his picket, I heard from the news that Noynoy declined the offer and said "No thank you" and that the supposed endorsement as a "big joke." It's wise of Noynoy to decline the offer since many people are angry at the Ampatuans and it will greatly affect the outcome of the votes if he ever accepts it because many see the Ampatuans as villains and murderers.

I think the Ampatuan clan as what the news spreads, is an ally of the Arroyo administration. There are also issues that say Villar and Arroyo have secret alliance so that led me to a conclusion that it is their agenda to bring Aquino down.

This ampatuan clan is really a good player in politics, they endorsed Noynoy and Mar to be able to get justice from this party. I saw in the news that Noynoy said maybe it was a joke but it has a big impact on the liberal party specially the supporters someone endorsed by a man such him.

Well what is so mysterious about this is who arranged prisoner from endorsing a candidate with all the media and that sorts of things. I think no one would want to be endorsed by that infamous name after what they did. So I think there is only one purpose for this block propaganda against the Noynoy-Mar campaign and nothing more. If you would also notice that several days before when they interviewed him he was openly campaigning for Villar.

I was kinda laughing about this a little earlier because the Ampatuan clan is pretty much Gloria v2.0 with regards to supporting political candidacies. By which I mean, whoever they support will most likely drop in ratings due to GMA and the Ampatuan clan's notorious infamy. With the Ampatuan family's strong ties to the GMA government, it's like a neon sign saying, "We want Noynoy to lose! See us support him (in the most facetious way possible) so you'll vote for someone else and give us the desired outcome we want!" If I were Noynoy, I'd give a statement with something along the lines of, "Anyone can support my candidacy if they want; I have no power to denounce anyone's choice when it's their given right to choose who to vote for and support," because he's a politician, and politicians demand a certain amount of diplomacy. Then maybe say something about how, in the event he wins, he will try his best to provide the justice everyone is hoping for, in the swiftest and most transparent way possible. Since, while it's true that everyone's innocent until proven guilty, in the end, it's the evidence that matters. If the case is presented as transparently as possible, I'm pretty sure the justice everyone's hoping for won't be that elusive.

I was actually laughing while watching Noynoy's remarked on that issue. When he said 'No, thanks.' While every politicians are clamouring for supports from major political clans or districts and even his sister Kris Aquino who have talked with a religious leader in Davao, Noynoy just dropped the supports of the Ampatuans. Anyways, who would really wanted to be endorsed by criminals even if they have not yet been found guilty. I think it will definitely affects Noynoys popularity.

So now they are using the candidacy of Noynoy and Mar that we all know are decent person? They are asking for justice? Stupid people will only believe in them. I believe that Noynoy and Mar wont be tempted by there support. The clan was a killer and they shouldn't be walking around the Philippines because they are a big threat for us.

The other day I saw him in the news wearing an orange baller band meaning he's supporting the candidacy of the other presidential aspirant and now, he has changed support. Isn't it he realized that Noynoy has more supporters and might win the presidential elections and thinking Noynoy could help him in his case? Dream on, Ampatuans! He's like a fruit we call "Balimbing" in Tagalog. LOL

I heard Noynoy or his camp said "No thanks". Ampatuan really lost his mind. Support is asked from someone who has a "good" influence and logically, good reputation follows. Is he not aware that anyone he will support will be unfavorable?
