Various of huge Philippines flag unfurled during Villanueva campaign rally\u003cbr/\u003eThe posters went up and jingles blared at election rallies across the Philippines on Tuesday as official campaigning for the country''s presidential election began.\u003cbr/\u003eThe race was expected to come down to a choice between the nation''s richest politician and the son of its democracy icon. \u003cbr/\u003eSenators Manny Villar and Benigno \"Noynoy\" Aquino III, son of the late Corazon Aquino, are promising a clean government and fresh start for the Philippines after nine years of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo''s tumultuous rule dotted with coup attempts and corruption allegations.\u003cbr/\u003eThe pair are front runners in a group of nine presidential aspirants that include other incumbent senators, an evangelist, a former defence secretary allied with the outgoing Arroyo government, and a former president who was convicted for corruption.\u003cbr/\u003eThe ninety day campaign period for candidates seeking national posts ends two days before the May 10 elections, which will also include those running for local office.  \u003cbr/\u003eAquino had an early head start in popularity thanks to his family name, but recent opinion polls put the two major candidates in a statistical dead heat, with analysts suggesting Villar''s lavish campaign spending has allowed him to catch up.      \u003cbr/\u003eAquino started on Tuesday by attending Catholic mass in his hometown of Tarlac, before meeting his supporters in a nearby public market.  \u003cbr/\u003eAquino, who turned 50 on Monday, is anchoring his campaign on running a clean government and restoring the credibility of the judiciary and Congress -  which he says has been seriously eroded during Arroyo''s nine years of tumultuous rule.\u003cbr/\u003eBut he is also struggling to step out from the shadow of his mother, Corazon Aquino, who fought dictator Ferdinand Marcos and was swept to power in the 1986 \"people power\" revolt. \u003cbr/\u003eVillar, who rose from the poor to make his fortune in real estate before entering politics, has portrayed his rags-to-riches life in his colourful political advertisements. \u003cbr/\u003eAppealing to mostly poor voters, Villar has vowed to end poverty in the country by creating news jobs and providing housing, his main source of income as a leading property developer.\u003cbr/\u003eHe has however courted controversy and narrowly avoided censure by his colleagues in the Senate for his alleged role in the rerouting of a highway so that it passes close to his real estate developments. \u003cbr/\u003eVillar said the charges are trumped up.\u003cbr/\u003eFormer Defence Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, the administration''s candidate, is trailing behind Villar and Aquino but hopes to catch up in the next three months. \u003cbr/\u003eHe has defended his loyalty to Arroyo and said prosecuting her after she leaves office was not on his agenda.\u003cbr/\u003eOusted Philippines leader Joseph Estrada, convicted of plunder and later pardoned, is also running despite legal challenges and objections to the idea of his political comeback.\u003cbr/\u003eThe evangelist Eddie Villanueva, known as Brother Eddie, kicked off his campaign on Monday by unfurling a giant flag with the help of around ten-thousand of his religious followers.\u003cbr/\u003eArroyo is scheduled to step down after serving more than nine years in June 2010 and is not allowed to seek re-election.\u003cbr/\u003eWith at least a dozen people already gunned down in the run-up to the May 10 polls and the country still reeling from an election-related massacre late last year that claimed 57 lives in southern Maguindanao province, political violence again emerged as a main concern.\u003cbr/\u003eAbout 130 people were killed during the last elections in 2007.\u003cbr/\u003ePolice have set up checkpoints in a nationwide crackdown on unlicensed guns, and spokesman Leonardo Espina said operations were continuing to disarm nearly 100 private armies on the payroll of political warlords.\u003cbr/\u003eA candidate for the city council in southern Cotabato was travelling with his two young children on Monday when three gunmen flagged him down and shot him dead before fleeing, police reported.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
