SENATOR Loren Legarda missed Mother Lily sa blowout na kanyang inihandog for her supporters and friends sa Manila Yatch Club, pagkatapos ng kanyang rally na ginanap sa Luneta, where she officially announced her decision na tumakbo bilang vice president sa susunod na eleksiyon.

Wala siyang binanggit na presidentiable na kanyang susuportahan, although may offer siya from Chiz Escudero, Manny Villar and even the administration candidate, Gibo Teodoro, who have all confirmed their intention to become President, to be his running mate.

Next week raw niya ia-announce kung sinuman sa mga ito ang kanyang susuportahan. One firm requirement niya ay ang maging member ito ng opposition.

Does this mean na out na kaagad si Defense Secretary Gibo, since kandidato siya ng administration, 'di ba?

Now, going back to Mother Lily, Senator Loren has every reason to miss her. Mother Lily has, after all, become, wika nga, part and partial ng kanyang political career. She was with Senator Loren when for the first time she run for senator.

I remember when Mother Lily approached the members of the entertainment press ang requested them to help Senator Loren. At that time, sa survey for probable winners sa mga kandidato for senators, Senator Loren placed no. 6 na.

So, I, in particular, told Mother Lily: "Sure winner na 'yang si Loren (na mas kilala, at that time, bilang tv host-anchor). Eight ang senador na dapat piliin.

"Kaya, kasama na tiyak 'yan sa top eight. "

"Well," ang casual na sagot ni Mother Lily. "I want her to be no. 1. "

The rest is history.

Mother Lily was with Senator Loren, too, when she run for vice president to the late Fernando Poe Jr. , na nagkataong kandidato din ni Mother Lily for President.

No need to tell anyone kung ano ang nangyari sa eleksiyon na ito.

In any case, when in the last election Senator Loren again run for the Senate, as well as several other senatorial candidates, including Sen. Manny Villar, Sen. Noynoy Aquino, Sen. Fran-cis Pangilinan, Sen. Antonio Trillanes, Sen. Chiz Escudero, among others.

Sa 12 candidates na sinuportahan ni Mother Lily, 10 won.

Senator Loren placed as one among the top five.

Sen. Loren, even while entertaining her numerous guests, took time to place a call to Mother Lily. And in Sen. Loren's talk with Mother Lily, the latter told her na may syuting siya for herfirms' Metro Manila Filmfest entry, Mano Po 6: My Mother. And since ang mga artistang kinu-kunan ng mga sandaling iyon ay sina Sharon Cuneta at Kris Aquino, she told Sen. Loren she has to be around.

Mother Lily is currently open about her pag-suporta sa kandidatura ni Sen. Noynoy Aquino bilang presidente.

And it is an open book as well that Sen. Noynoy's choice for his vice president is Sen. Mar Roxas.

Now, speaking of Sen. Noynoy naman, isa siya sa five pairs of principal sponsors nina Sen. Mar Roxas at Korina Sanchez sa kasal ng mga ito na gaganapin sa Santo Domingo Church in Quezon City, today.

Well, nangangahulugan lang na, henceforth, ninong na ang itatawag ni Korina kay Senator Noynoy.

Na dapat lang, 'di ba?

Well, what makes this scenario a conversation piece, or, sort of, is that, 'di ba, at one time, naging magsyota sina Senator Noynoy at Korina?
