Candidates for Mayors in Bohol Towns for 2010 Elections

[Mike Ortega Ligalig]

By Sunday Post

Three incumbent mayors and a vice mayor seeking the top elective post of the town are running uncontested in the 2010 elections.

The four is headed by Catigbian Mayor Roberto Salinas, president of the League of Municipalities, Bohol chapter, and whose congressional bid was frustrated when an outsider came out of the blue to take his place in the ruling party Lakas-Kampi CMD. Mayor Salinas is a loyal party member.

Salinas, however, remains a Lakas stalwart in seeking his last term as Catigbian mayor despite what happened to his congressional ambition.

The other two mayors unchallenged in their reelection are Mayors Louis Tomas Gonzaga of Danao and Mara Fe Piezas of Guindulman. V-Mayor Dominicio Chatto of Balilihan is running for mayor and nobody dares to contest his candidacy.

The towns and their corresponding reelectionists and their respective rivals in a free-for-all political exercise in 2010 in all of Bohol’s three districts are the following:

[loverboy_july]

Looks like the competition between Lila mayoral candidate Alex Paigan and Regina Salazar is no match at all. The said Salazar is more influencial compared to the neophyte Paigan. Well, to know more about each of them you have to be a native of LILA...............Good lick, everyone!

[vhinz08]

unsa naman pod kaha mga new moves sa mga politiko aron makuha lang nila ang simpatiya sa mga tao, kay karaang dula naman nang muingon nga sincero nga mosirbisyo, ug kinamangay panahon sa panahon na sa eleksyon, bisag naka virtual campaign naman pod siguro.

[tagaclarin]

NOT PARANOIA....merry christmas all!
