STORYLINE
Action film star Fernando Poe Jr, a close friend of ousted leader Joseph Estrada, on Wednesday officially announced his candidacy for Philippine president in next May's election.
A political newcomer, the highly popular actor said he was giving in to public pressure.
Poe, 64, told supporters and media at a Manila Hotel: "When I went around the Philippines, I saw what the people needed and I saw their clamour and I cannot turn my back."
He said he did not yet have a political party backing him, but members of Estrada's Party of the Filipino Masses say they will support him.
Late last month, supporters of Poe - also known as FPJ and "Da King" - presented him with two (m) million voters' signatures to convince him to run.
He has so far ranked poorly in opinion polls on possible candidates, which his supporters say is due to his initial reluctance to run.
His strength is among the urban poor, the same as Estrada, but businessmen and others worry that his lack of experience could hurt the country.
