Cebu Mayors In Garcia Bailiwick Supporting Sotto For Vice President

Cebu Mayors In Garcia Bailiwick Supporting Sotto For Vice President

The show of support for Sotto comes from members of the Garcia family's One Cebu party, who earlier endorsed the Marcos-Duterte UniTeam tandem.

CEBU, Philippines – Several mayors in Cebu’s 7th Congressional District, a bailiwick of the Garcia dynasty, met with Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III and said they would support his bid for vice president on Friday, April 29.

Sotto appeared at an event in Dumanjug town to thank the mayors of southern Cebu.

When asked by reporters on the sidelines of the event if the mayor’s support was an “endorsement” for vice president, Sotto said, “Yes, they gave me to the commitment that all of them would be supporting me for vice president, the entire 7th District.”

When reporters asked Dumanjug Mayor Gungun Gica and Cebu 7th District Congressman Peter John Calderon if the meeting with Sotto was an endorsement, they did not say categorically if it was.

Dumanjug is the hometown of the Garcia dynasty.

All of the incumbent officials of this district are from the ruling party One Cebu, led by Governor Gwendolyn Garcia.

The mayors diverted from their party’s endorsement of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte for vice president.

Garcia previously promised the Marcos-Duterte tandem a win with a greater margin than the 2016 victory of President Rodrigo Duterte in the province.

Incumbent mayors and vice mayors from localities in the following town were a part of the meeting:

Dumanjug

Ronda

Alcantara

Moalboal

Badian

Alegria

Malabuyoc

Santander

Samboan

Ginatilan

Also supporting Sotto’s bid is Cebu 7th District Representative Peter Calderon.

Sotto explained that although the local officials who attended, including the town councilors and barangay captians from these towns, are members of the One Cebu, his ally Calderon is a member of the Nationalist People’s Coalition.

Prior to this, Sotto’s only other endorsement was from Cebu City’s Osmeña family and its local party Bando Osmeña Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK).

The meeting was held at the home of Gica.

During the meeting, Sotto promised to push for another P1 billion in funding for agriculture, livelihood and infrastructure development per province on top if its internal revenue allotment.

Gica, a member of One Cebu, openly declared on April 21 that he is supporting the bid of Vice President Leni Robredo.

Ping, Mas Dumarami Pa Ang Nakumbinsing Mga Botante sa Bicol

Ping, Mas Dumarami Pa Ang Nakumbinsing Mga Botante sa Bicol

Abril 30, 2022 - Mas dumarami pa ang nakumbinsing mga botante ni independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson nang bumisita siya sa Bicol nitong Biyernes.

Ayon kay Lacson at senatorial bet Minguita Padilla, maganda ang naging pagtanggap ng mga residente ng Catanduanes at Camarines Sur sa kanilang pakikipag-usap sa mga ito sa naganap na townhall meeting sa lugar.

"Sa una, parang kaunti lang ang responses na narinig, yung reactions. But then after the open forum, something really changed, talagang na-reversed ang situation, so we would like to think na yung conversation napakalaki. Kasi naiba talaga, very very visible," ani Lacson.

Pagbabahagi ng independent presidential aspirant, pinalawig pa nila ang oras ng kanilang pakikipag-usap sa mga botante sa Catanduanes dahil sa partisipasyon ng mga ito sa nasabing townhall meeting.

Kwento pa ni Padilla, may mga residente roon na may suot ng pink masks at sinabi sa kanila na "nag-switch na kami."

"As it turned out, nakapag-convert and that was very evident in Catanduanes," sabi ni Lacson.

Maganda rin ang naging pagtanggap ng mga residente sa Naga sa isinagawang town hall event at pinakinggan ang kanilang mga plataporma hanggang dulo ng programa.

Para kay Lacson, ang kanyang pangangampanya sa Bicol ang mas lalong nagpaigting ng kanyang naisin na ipanalo ang kandidatura para maipatupad ang kanyang mga plano at tapat na naisin para sa bayan.

Lacson Calls Off North Sorties In Favor Of Abra Visit

Lacson Calls Off North Sorties In Favor Of Abra Visit

BANGUED, Abra — Presidential candidate Senator Panfilo Lacson has called off his campaign activities in Ilocos Sur and Norte to make time for his visit in this province.

Lacson’s initial schedule showed that he was supposed to visit the two Ilocos Region provinces on Tuesday but his scheduled activities were cancelled.

Ilocos Sur Gov. Ryan Singson was also supposed to host a lunch for Lacson at his family’s restaurant, which is located at the famed Calle Crisologo in Vigan, according to the senator.

“I requested to call it off kasi gipit sa oras [because of the lack of time] considering that the Bersamins, the Reporma candidates in Abra who decided to stick with me are hosting an early lunch, followed by a courtesy call to the bishop to be capped by a town hall meeting in Bangued,” Lacson told reporters when asked regarding the cancellation of his activities in the said provinces.

To recall, Lacson earlier parted ways with the Partido Reporma after party president former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez and the group’s Davao del Norte bloc decided to endorse another presidential contender.

“I’m sorry but I gave priority na makasama ko yung Reporma…nag-lunch kami nagkumustahan kung ano yung nangyayari rito sa Abra at marami silang nai-share na mga [to be with my former partymates in Reporma…we had lunch, asked how each other is doing and talked about what is happening here in Abra, they shared a lot of] information which we would like to take up with concerned authorities,” Lacson said in an ambush interview before his town hall meeting with Abra tobacco farmers here.

Lacson’s scheduled activities in another Ilocos Region province, La Union, for Tuesday morning were also cancelled.

On Monday, Lacson was in Tarlac and Pangasinan with his vice presidential running mate, Senate President Vicente Sotto III, and one of their senatorial bets, former Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol.

Sotto, meanwhile, is embarking on a separate schedule from Lacson. The Senate president is currently in Zambales for an event with his partymates at the Nationalist People’s Coalition, where he serves as chairman.
