	The Candidate as Mr. Clean
		Raul Roco is running a ‘principled’ campaign that is short on funds but long on ideals.
		Such an image is further propped up by the reform agenda that Roco, purportedly in his conviction that the people are now ready for reforms, has embarked on as campaign platform with the blessings of Aksyon party stalwarts and sympathizers.
		For Roco to win, Aksyon is similarly pinning its hopes on the electorate not to allow that kind of a wheeling-dealing, more-of-the-same kind of campaign.

	Torn and frayed in Manila: Raul Roco, RIP
		The death of Raul Roco this morning ends a political career that at various points seemed full of promise, yet ended ignominiously with a feeble showing in the 2004 presidential election.
		Although Roco was briefly the front runner in opinion polls, there was always a sense that once FPJ declared and Gloria got her campaign together the portly Bicolano would be left wheezing in their slipstream.
		To cap it all, Roco’s trip to Texas for medical treatment in the midst of his campaign was disastrously handled—instead of attracting public sympathy (as might reasonably have been expected) he ended up looking shifty and dishonest and his campaign never recovered.
