Disloyalty
Tallado’s expulsion stemmed from a complaint filed by Daet Mayor Tito Sarion whom the governor had earlier accused of disloyalty for attending a gathering organized by their political rivals in the province. Tallado
also claimed that Sarion was spreading rumors that [the governor] would support a non-LP presidential candidate, charges that the party later dismissed.
Sarion, in turn, accused his erstwhile political ally of disloyalty by inviting opposition senators JV Ejercito and Bong Revilla to the province. Tallado, the mayor said, also has pending criminal and administrative cases of human rights violations and illegal mining operations in Camarines Norte.
In its five-page decision, the LP said “Tallado [had] committed a grossly immoral act that has not only cast doubt [on] his moral integrity, but also tarnished the good name and reputation of the (party) as a whole.â€
It added: “Although the LP has no business meddling with its members’ marital problems, the magnitude of the scandal is so overarching that it did not only smear [Tallado’s] image, but also that of the party.â€
