The tension between Senator Roxas’ Liberal Party and Former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante’s Ugyon Kita Capiz continues to escalate in magnitude and intensity.
Just recently, Roxas City Mayor Vic Bermejo, together with 38 chieftains of the city affirmed their support to Bolante during a meeting at Villa Patria Resort. Together with Bermejo were his running-mate Councilor Dennis Altobano, and candidates for councilors: former City Councilor Teresa Almalbis, Tiza Brgy. Kagawad John Heredia, Lauro Lima, and Nonoy Albar.
On LP’s side, Mrs. Judy Araneta Roxas met 164 of the city’s 329 barangay councilmen at the Governor’s Mansion last Saturday. In the meeting, Mrs. Roxas extended her gratitude for their support to LP, despite the fact that Mayor Bermejo and Bolante have already established an alliance. Mrs. Roxas will continue holding a series of meetings to win back the other local officials before November 30.
