It would have been a clear hands down Chatto victory had the last few months been running as normally as it should.
Now the situation with the massive betrayals and backstabbings alleged upon edgar, all to get him the edge despite his clear victory has tilted the balance dangerously against him.
In the first district for example, Edgar has made a tough enemy with DNL, one that could cost him some 30K votes, with the way DNL is campaigning. Tagb has 45K electors.
The DNL campign is: my slate my candidates. Top to bottom. And seemingly, puroks have been saturated with pro DNL sentiments, youd realize DNL purok visits are like basketball games where people bring monoblock chairs to get close to the mayor.
Baclayon and Maribojoc are no Edgar supporters, ask Mayors Toloy who has lost Jovie Lapiz due to alleged stringpulling and pressures by EMC. Alvin may also have problems with Edgar goading Bene Uy to run, and the projects LGU Baclayon and EMC is implementing now would show how far a Congressional million would go compared to an LGU Implemented project.
Dauis is sure tough for Edgar who has devised an easy plan to win, but the plan backfired when the opposition realized the deal was in for a solo Edgar candidate. Now its a huge problem thaty maigh cost the Ebojos.
Catigbian is classic. Edgar's alleged betrayal for BertSal earned him the whole Catigbian's ire, execpt of course one or two or 22 barangay chairmen who plays for EMC
A boiling pot may be expected with antequera and double dealings there. One that could be disastrous to a clearly Tatay Billy manhandled town.
Loon may be in for Chatto, but Herrera has links, Bertsal traces his roots in loon, Glovasa, A DNL Congressional candidate also is from Loon, and the Lopez Clan is still dib\vided, last that i know.
Tubigon, Cortes, Panglao and Albur may be equalizers but past election sentimesnt seem to be anti EMC.
Most mayors in these towns have not been as clear but one is a former DOLE bigwig and Herrera was a labor lawyer. Another is an anti EMC advocate though he plays it cool, lest his Lakas funding gets to somebody elses campaign kitty like what happened last time.
Second district is aboil and EBA is still hurting although the old politician is too good to admit it in piblic that the hurt affected him. A Cajes Aumentado LAKAS-LAKAS competition may be in for a big vote slash against Chatto, the provincial Lakas head.
More? umm, unya na laman sunod pohon uy.
