''
in 2004 , he was a presidential candidate in the philippine election but lost to incumbent gloria macapagal-arroyo and placed last in a field of five candidates , with 6.2 % of the vote - although many filipinos believed that the 2004 election in general was an alleged large-scale election fraud , particularly due to the aragoncillo project .
on august 21 , 2009 , he announced that he will be running in the 2010 election and on november 30 , 2009 , filed his certificate of candidacy with the commission on elections `` accompanied by his running mate , former securities and exchange commission -lrb- sec -rrb- chief perfecto yasay , and five senatorial bets '' .
he is the owner and chairman of zoe broadcasting network , a commercial tv station currently operated by gma network through quality television -lrb- qtv -rrb- now gma news tv .
