PINOY POWER PUSHES FOR CANDIDACIES OF ALEX LACSON
AND JIM PAREDES IN NOY-MAR SLATE

People-based coalition Pinoy Power Movement today pushes for the inclusion of bestselling author Alex Lacson and artist and People Power icon Jim Paredes.

Lacson is the author of the patriotic book 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country. He is a lawyer by profession. Paredes is popularly known as a member of OPM stalwarts APO and has consistently rallied against corrupt governance, from the Marcos era to the current administration.

Pinoy Power co-convenors JJ Soriano and Mae Paner believe both Lacson and Paredes can anchor the current senatorial slate of the Liberal Party to the virtues of non-traditional politics.

"We need new faces that are also highly qualified," says Paner, aka Juana Change. "Lacson and Paredes both have the nation's best interest in mind, and they definitely aren't trapos."

"We need to have a true People's Coalition Slate," adds Soriano. "There are two slots left. We hope that the LP would at least allow us representation in their non-conventional, mass-based, and reform-oriented campaign."
