The Philippine Councilors’ League-Bohol Chapter elections will be held Wednesday.

To those candidates openly declaring to contest incumbent PCL President Brigido ‘Boy’ Imboy, they are in for a surprise.

Early straw votes revealed league members prefer reelecting their incumbent president as compared to the unknown contenders. And for a contender planning to negotiate for a last minute deal of a buy-out, Imboy said a loud “no.”

“My performance as league president and my relations with members will be my potent tool for reelection,” Imboy said.

Therefore, it is now resolved as it is hereby resolved, that pretenders to Imboy’s throne won’t get any centavo from any premeditated ploy for a buy-out.

An Imboy campaigner said: “Buy-out? Dili man gani ta kasiguro ug moboto ba siya sa iyang kaugalingon (we are not even sure if he will vote for himself).”

Wa jamo diay masapi ning mga bright candidates kuno nga magpa buy out unta?

Haskang dimalasa! He..he. ilhan naman gud daan ang tuyo!

As of yesterday, top contender Garcia-Hernandez councilor Tita Gallentes was reported to have shelled out P2,000 to about half of the PCL members. A second wave will follow on Tuesday.

But the Imboy camp remained cool and said they won’t engage in a bidding contest.

The other wannabes are sitting and praying for rain, -“all sounds, no fury.”

Laway ra ila pohonan!
