Hiniling ng dalawang kongresistang kaalyado ng oposisyon kay dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada na huwag ituloy ang planong “Erap-Binay" tandem sa 2010 presidential elections dahil pahihinain nito ang tyansa ng oposisyon na manalo sa susunod na panguluhang halalan.
Sa halip, nais nina Cibac party-list Rep. Joel Villanueva at Anak Mindanao Rep. Mujiv Hataman na iendorso at suportahan na lamang ni Estrada ang pinakamalakas na magiging kandidato ng oposisyon na may malasakit sa masa.
Naniniwala ang dalawa na mahirap ng matupad ang kahilingan ni Estrada na magkaroon ng iisang kandidato ng oposisyon sa 2010 elections dahil sa dami ng malakas na personalidad sa kanilang hanay.
“Kung baga sa basketball malalim ang bench ng opposition, maraming pwedeng maglaro para manalo. So its better kung suportahan na lang ni Presidente Erap kung sino sa tingin nya ang opposition candidate na pareho niyang maka-masa," ayon kay Hataman.

CIBAC partylist Rep. Joel Villanueva said it would be "an injustice" to take away Pacquiao from sports, but acknowledge his right to chose what to do.
"I think it'll be a great injustice to take away Manny Pacquiao from the world of sports after he showed his ability to single-handedly bring us not just global honor but give hope, and inspiration, and pride to each Filipino. He is the greatest at what he does and I don't think anything is better," said Villanueva.
"It's his right (to run for congressman), though," he added.
In text messages, lawmakers on Monday said they'd rather see Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao bringing glory to the country from inside the boxing ring than see him battle it out in Philippine politics after Quezon City Rep. Mary Ann Susano said on Monday that Pacquiao is considering running as congressman of Quezon City's second district in 2010.

Kinastigo ng dalawang kongresista nitong Biyernes ang plano ng Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) na itaas ng P10.96 kada cubic meter ang singil sa tubig sa gitna ng nararanasang krisis pinansiyal sa bansa.
Pinayuhan nina Citizens Battle Against Corruption Rep. Joel Villanueva at Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros ang Metropolitan Waterworks Sewerage System (MWSS) na magdahan-dahan sa pag-apruba sa hinihinging dagdag na singil ng MWSI.
Ang MWSI ang kumpanya na namamahala sa pagsusuplay ng tubig sa kanlurang bahagi ng Metro Manila.
“Hindi makatarungan at hindi napapanahon ang pagtaas na iyan. Simula pa noon ay kinokondena namin ang mga hindi makatarungan at hindi napapanahon na pagtaas ng singil ng Maynilad at Manila Water," pahayag ni Villanueva.

Rep. Joel Villanueva, together with the members of Minority bloc led by Rep. Ronaldo Zamora, left the session hall after registering his "no" vote to dismiss the impeachment complaint on December 2, 2008. The following is his written explanation of vote against Committee Report 1515.
Four years ago, serious allegations have been thrown against Mrs. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo questioning her integrity, moral fitness, legitimacy and competence as President of the Philippines.
It started with her alleged involvement in electoral fraud in the 2004 elections. And not only did she cheat and lie, according to the complainants, but she even personally orchestrated acts of kidnapping, extortion and bribery to propagate herself in power. These were serious allegations so the people asked for her explanation, but she refused to give any and instead used her political stranglehold of the majority of this House to suppress the truth, in total disregard of justice and righteousness. So in the end, not a single answer was given; not a single issue of the 2005 Impeachment Complaint was ever resolved.

Five lawmakers have filed House Resolution (HR) No. 854 which seeks to investigate the main reasons behind fatal vehicular accidents involving over-speeding buses in the country.
Under HR No. 854, An Waray Rep. Florencio “Bem” Noel asked the House committee on transportation to inquire on the said matter and determine the appropriate action to take in preventing the recurrence of similar accidents in the future.
“There is also a need to identify proper measures and actions to prevent the recurrence of vehicular accidents,” Noel said.
Anak Mindanao Rep. Mujiv S. Hataman claimed that several reforms regarding the attitude of bus drivers should be undertaken with dispatch.
“Negligence or fault of the bus drivers could be one of the top causes of such accidents,” Hataman said.
