Makabayan senatorial bet and Nacionalista Party guest candidate Satur Ocampo today said that the attempts of the Liberal Party (LP) to link Nacionalista Party standard bearer Sen. Manny Villar to the Arroyos have failed to convince his own and running mate Liza Maza's supporters of the existence of such a nefarious alliance.

"As far as we're concerned, there is no 'Villarroyo.' It's all a concoction of the spin doctors of LP to destroy Sen. Villar's credibility and by extension, Makabayan's alliance with him. Rep. Maza and myself and the Makabayan Coalition would not have agreed to be guest candidates of NP if we believed even for a second that Sen. Villar has ties with the Arroyos. Our alliance with Sen. Villar also has to do with our common stand against the corruption of the Macapagal-Arroyo presidency. We would have immediately reconsidered our alliance with Sen. Villar if he had agreed to any form of cooperation with the Arroyos," Ocampo said.
