Election Results
The success of the coalition was partly because of the popularity of its main man, Vice President Joseph Estrada who won the elections. His senatorial slate also gained majority of 7 out of 12 available seats in the Senate. They were:
- Teresa Aquino-Oreta
- Rodolfo Biazon
- Robert Jaworski
- Blas Ople
- John Henry Osmeña
- Aquilino Pimentel
- Vicente Sotto III
Also, the coalition gained great majority in the House of Representatives and majority of elected local officials are members of the coalition.
During the 2001 Midterm Legislative Elections, LAMMP was abolished and was replaced by a new coalition of Pro-Estrada legislators led by the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) of Edgardo Angara, named Puwersa ng Masa (Force of the Masses) led by Estrada's wife, Luisa Ejercito Estrada.

Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:
“The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Silence is to all creatures thus attacked the only means of salvation; it fatigues the Cossack charges of the envious, the enemy’s savage ruses; it results in a cruising and complete victory.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
