THE Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) Bohol chapter seems to be still in disarray since it remains to have no presidential and vice-presidential candidates, yet, to support.

The national PDP-Laban Cusi wing has already declared that they’ll support the candidacy of Bong Marcos and Sara Duterte for president and vice-president, respectively.

Despite this development, provincial PDP-Laban headed Gov. Arthur C. Yap remains mum to whom they’ll rally behind for president and vice-president.

PDP-Laban mayoralty bet Atty. Roberto “Ondoy” Cajes of Trinidad town, did not confirm, yet, if they will support BBM-Sara tandem.

“Anything is possible,” was his answer to the query by the TIMES if they’re for BBM-Sara.

The TIMES got his reply in an exclusive interview with him after the covenant signing of Safe, Accurate, Fair/Free Elections (SAFE) initiated by the Commission on Elections.

His running-mate Councilor Fernando Erio for vice-mayor said in a separate interview that they do not have president and VP yet to support for since they’re still awaiting for the governor’s signal. “Mag-agad ra mi sa mando sa gobernador,” Erio said.

Erio, along with six other candidates for councilors, is running under the National Unity Party (NUP).

Barangay Chairman Arman Avenido of Cabigohan, Trinidad, said that they’re supporting BM-Sara slate.

He, along with vice-mayoralty bet Dr. Elmer Nuez, is running for town councilor under the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP). (rvo)
