Shooting for the Moon

And so Gilbert Teodoro is the anointed candidate of Gloria's party. This, after Noli showed no interest in running under the banner of the administration.

His chances of winning are pretty slim, despite the ruling party's machinery. Remember de Venecia's bid, where he lost to Erap? His situation is a throwback to that period.

Despite his impressive credentials as a bar topnotcher and having gone to Harvard for his masters, these things tend to get lost on people's minds because Gloria's negative trust ratings means whoever she endorses will be highly mistrusted as well. Noli's smart enough to realize this.

Proof of this is the less than 1% rating for Teodoro in recent surveys. This early, it is apparent that Gloria's and her party's endorsement for Teodoro spell doom for his candidacy.
