Carmen, Bohol - As if their ancestors disapproved of the odd Clavite-Clavite clash, the tie seemed to refuse to break when the first toss-coin round intended to break the tie in the October 29 barangay elections still resulted to a tie. It took a second toss-coin round to send the neophyte Clavite in as the new barangay chief of Montesunting.
The extended term since 2002 could have been enough for the incumbent Edgardo Clavite, anyway, that it is now the turn of another Clavite to take the command.
The incumbent Clavite and neophyte Felix Clavite, both relatives, both garnered 197 votes in the October 29 Barangay and SK synchronized election.
To break the tie, the two Clavites engaged in a toss-coin in the morning of November 5 at Carmen ABC Hall, as witnessed by Election Officer Elizer Cagol Jr., the Board of Canvassers chaired by Trinidad Lumagod, Vice-Chairman Gina Alimpolos and its secretary, Helen Maca, together with Nueva Vida Este Barangay Captain Victorino Adlaon, Montesunting SK Chairman Jeric Brawis, Montevideo Barangay Councilor Nestor Anino and the constituents.
Each of the candidates was given a chance to toss the coin wherein the number of times the coin landed upright was counted as points. Each round consists of seven tosses.
The first round resulted to a tie where the candidates both made three points. So another round was set to break the second tie, wherein in five tosses, the neophyte Clavite got three points.
With spirit of sportsmanship, the incumbent Clavite embraced the neophyte Clavite to congratulate his successor and acknowledge his defeat.
