The small crowd of Poe supporters came as a surprise to many observers, since the organizers, some of his friends from show business, were tapping the same sector - the urban poor - that tried to oust President Arroyo and reinstall former president Joseph Estrada through a massive protest in May 2001.
In 1998, the ruling party's standard bearer, Jose de Venecia Jr, poured resources toward local politicians, who were expected to tap their supporters to carry de Venecia to victory.
When election day came, de Venecia lost by about 6 million votes to former actor and then vice president Joseph Estrada, who was backed by a far smaller party that couldn't even complete many of its local slates.
