MANAOAG -- “Mar can win the vice presidential race even without me. Kayang-kaya ni Mar kahit wala ako. Bonus na lang ako, may Mar na may Korina pa.”

This was Mr. Palengke’s wife, veteran broadcaster Korina Sanchez, said when she visited Alaminos City Tuesday for a palengke tour at the Suki Market.

She also attended a women’s forum where she met the members of the different women’s group of Alaminos City. She then proceeded to Calasiao town where they will have a video shoot for her Rated K program at ABS-CBN.

The wife of vice presidential candidate Senator Mar Roxas (Liberal Party) will have a break Wednesday morning from her hectic schedule before joining her husband in Baguio City where they will spend the Lenten season.

After her radio interviews in Dagupan City, she and her group will motor to this pilgrim town for a moment of prayer at the miraculous Our Lady of Manaoag.

Will she be praying for a baby or for the victory of Mar? Her supporters said it could be both.

Not joining her husband’s campaign sorties is a strategy for them to reach out more people and to cover more places.

“Usapan namin ni Mar na para mas marami kaming maabot na lugar, hiwalay talaga kami ng rota. After Central Luzon, nag-Mindanao ako. Ang bilin niya dito ako sa North kaya inuna ko ang Pangasinan,” she remarked.

“Dahil kilala ang asawa ko bilang Mr. Palengke, naging panata ko na kahit wala sa schedule ko, tumitigil ako sa palengke at nakikipagkilala sa mga tao. Meron kaming customized gift na apron para sa mga nagtitinda sa pelengke,” she added.

Korina, meanwhile, said the popularity of a candidate does not matter during election. “Popularity is not enough to get one into office.”

“Napatunayan na sa mga nakaraang elections, maraming artista ang tumakbo at hindi nanalo. Yong kalaban ni Mar, popular naman dahil matagal sa telebisyon pero tignan mo naman ang agwat ni Mar sa kanya halos 20 percent. Hindi nadadaan sa popularidad yan,” she added.

“I think the reason why angat ang mga numero ni Mar ay dahil na rin sa track record at sincerity. I think that is the most important thing,” she said.

Roxas was in Dagupan City last March 13. But he was not able to join Liberal Party presidential candidate Senator Noynoy Aquino and their senatorial bets when the group had campaign rallies in the cities of Alaminos, San Carlos, and Dagupan third week of March.
