i wish someone who got this 'windfall' could come out into the open to confirm this report. as an observer who knew a bit about loay (from the last election with its terrible campaign and vote-buying), i could say this is believable.
may imboy, i believe, is the youngest sister of lucio lim, the shipping magnate, soledad press, etc., whose wealth he supposedly singlehandedly brought to the family in ways that would scandalize the upright and the legal. and he became friends with mike arroyo, even sitting onstage beside him during the latter's bohol visits. (in what capacity, no one knows.)
may imboy is said to be a brat (and if i'm not mistaken, the imboy running for board member now is her husband who was lately a loay councilor?), and she was quoted to have told his older brother lucio (when she first ran for mayor of loay 3 years ago) that "siguroa gyod, manoy, nga modaog ko kay di gani maghikog gyod ko." they spent millions, and now she's at it again.
there seems to be only 2 things with out elected officials (again, i take care to stress that there will always be exceptions): they either seek public office and enrich themselves in the process, or they are already wealthy and run for elected posts for social legitimacy and ego trip, and get to protect and increase their ill-gotten wealth in the process.
poor bohol.
