The alliance between the Liberal Party (LP) Cebu chapter and the Durano clan-led Bakud remains solid in Cebu’s 5th district for the reelection bids of Cebu Gov. Hilario Davide III and Vice Gov. Agnes Magpale.
Borbon Mayor Bernard Sepulveda of Bakud said this is assured despite the decision by Rep. Ace Durano of Cebu’s 5th district to manage the presidential campaign of Sen. Grace Poe and running mate Francis Escudero.
As provincial chairman of the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), Ace declared his support for Poe, who filed her bid as an independent.
Sepulveda said Durano’s decision was a personal choice. Will the rest of Bakud in the 5th district of north Cebu’s potential 350,000 voters go for Poe?
Sepulveda said they are waiting for a party decision on this.
“We already pledged support for the governor and vice governor. The presidential race is a different story,” he told Cebu Daily News.
