Former Miss Universe Margarita “Margie†Moran-Floirendo is running for the top elective post in Davao del Norte, her husband, former Representative Antonio “Tonyboy†Floirendo Jr. said.
Margie’s entry into politics puts her on a collision course with former political allies.
Speaking before the local media during his father’s 94th birthday on Friday, Floirendo Jr. said defections of formidable allies in District 1 to the Liberal party drained the Lakas-Kampi-CMD of possible candidates who could challenge incumbent Governor Rodolfo del Rosario.
The governor on Wednesday officially left Lakas-Kampi and took his oath before Senator and vice presidential aspirant Manuel “Mar†Roxas II as a new LP recruit.
“Walang gustong pumayag kaya si Margie na lang ang patatakbuhin ko (Nobody wanted to run for Lakas-Kampi so I decided to field Margie),†Floirendo said.
