Survey leader Sen. Manuel Villar is forecasted to gather several town mayors to his Nacionalista Party when he visits the province on Saturday.

The senator who is one of the leading presidential contenders earlier came to the province to induct more than 25 municipal mayors belonging to the administration Lakas-Kampi. However, due to pressure from Malacanang, Gov. Erico Aumentado called the mayors to re-take their oath of party allegiance to Lakas-Kampi of which he is the regional and provincial chairman.

Aumentado, Bohol's political kingpin is also identified with Sen. Villar as both have sealed their friendship when the former served Villar as deputy House speaker.         

However, Gov. Aumentado will find it difficult to bolt the administration Lakas-Kampi with his closeness to Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

There are reports that Vice Gov. Julius Herrera who is interested to run for governor is reportedly ready to open his support for Villar while Aumentado will stick it out with Arroyo.

Unconfirmed reports said that Herrera will take his allegiance to NP during Villar's visit this Saturday.

Presently, there are seven town mayors already with the Nacionalista Party, namely Carmen Mayor Boy Molina, Baclayon Mayor Alvin Uy, Calape Mayor Yu, Alburquerque Mayor Jalad, Bien Unido Mayor Boniel, Guindulman Mayor Fe Piezas, Alicia Mayor Pedro Miasco and San Isidro Mayor Paul Gumanid.

Sen. Villar will be here for a gathering of the municipal councilors. He will separately meet with the town mayors later in the day. - the bohol chronicle

bantay mo mga bangko sa bohol kay unjag mo utang nang tawhana unja mo ingon nga bankrap na sija. di mo mabayaran. mao nay modos nija!

Wala pa bay nag-andam og mga lata nga kamatis para isugat aning tawhana?

Mao ni nakalisod sa atong pulitika kay personality-centered, dili party-centered. Kinahanglan gyud balikan ni Manny Villar ang mga mayor nga nagdus-og niya sa pinakaulahing pagbisita niya, kay nagbag-o na ang political equation ning pagdeklara ni Noynoy sa iyang candidacy. Kalit kahagbong si Manny sa ranking sa mga survey.

I hope that the run-up to the 2010 elections will be a time to strengthen our party system, by defining party platforms clearly. I think one of the dividing issues among the candidates will be their track record on corruption, and Manny doesn't seem to have a clean slate when it comes to this issue.

beig a villar boy during the congress days, i dont see any reason aumentado not supporting villar this coming 2010......definetly villar will put a complete slate in bohol and i think he will go for herrera.....definetly dillema karon si gov.........teodoro or villar?.....your guess is good as mine
