While other Cabinet officials running for office face an uphill battle, Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap is assured of a congressional seat as he is running unopposed in the third district of Bohol.

Yap is the bet of the administration party Lakas-Kampi-CMD.

There was speculation earlier that incumbent third-district Representative Adam Relson Jala or his father, former congressman Eladio Jala, both members of the Lakas-Kampi, would challenge Yap. But Representative Jala, who is still eligible for reelection, filed his CoC for vice governor a few minutes before the deadline at midnight Tuesday.

The elder Jala, currently assistant secretary at the Department of Transportation and Communications, was rumored to have been offered a post at the Securities and Exchange Commission, but he has declined to issue any statement on the matter.

Maayo ra sab kay wa man sa'y nahimo ning mga okoya sa 3rd district..

I dont think they will give-up their post without a fight or anything in return....naa sab gud na silay pride.

Pero kon ako sab ang politician, nganong maghago paman ko'g pangurakot kon naa nay motunol nako...di pa mahago... ???hehehe

wise silang duha, both jala and yap.. yap is hungry for power and jala is hungry for money so tabla.. looy ang mga katauhan sa 3rd district tawn

Arang-arang ang First District kay makita man ang mga projects sa Congressman.

si cajes, kabalo siguro to sya nga way makwarta sa vice-governor's office mao nag-mayor na lang nya gipalansad as congressman si judith. hehehe

Please pardon my ignorance on this topic.  Is Arthur Yap from Bohol ?   I feel bad that not a single pure Boholano from that area challenged him.

My two cents.

Bedo

no he's not but he has the influence, power & money which counts alot.....sad to say.

Dapat dili unta ilhon nga daog ang isa ka kandidato kon walay kalaban,Ngano? kay dili man siya winning candidate. Wala man siya kalaban.
Wala man siya na elected kay wala may pagpili, kay wala may kalaban.

mupalit napod sila ug dummy candidate

Maayo tong way contra kay unyag maparehas si YAP ni Rene Relampagos..Waaaaaa....

bilyon ba kaha ang nadawat ani or milyon ra.

dakong "?" jud

Bohol is being positioned to be the rice bowl of the Visayas, with rice self-sufficiency now reportedly exceeding 100%. If Arthur Yap's government and private network will enhance Bohol's agricultural productivity and bring more investments in the agro industry, I don't mind voting him even if he is only a Boholano by affinity. I can even forget that his name has also been tarnished by the fertilizer scandal. With both the labor-intensive tourism and agriculture finding champions that will ensure Bohol will be on the national legislative agenda, I believe Bohol's star will continue to rise.
