It may sound too early to talk of the 2010 elections but some quarters are doing just that, guessing and speculating on the future. Foremost in their mind is the top post of the city.
If there have been attempts to sow intrigue between incumbent mayor and his vice mayor, the reason could be that some people want Tinnex Jaraula to seek another term. Whats happening in the city seems to favor Jaraula and as such, the allure of another term is simply irresistible. For that, Jaraula needs to solidify his grip by reaching out to the “masa”, the asset of his vice mayor.
A one on one with दोंग्कोय एमानो without strong allies to assist Jaraula may jeopardize the latter’s possible bid for re-election. It is imperative that the realignment of forces being heard and talked about should be pursued without failure.
One is said to be following the style of Dongkoy Emano and even better. While Dongkoy professes to love the poor, his office has always been a world for his close friends and allies for those who could contribute to his political stock. The other one is down to earth, unpretentious and welcomes anyone to his office without discrimination, an asset that endears him to many people. Another one is making the invasion into the turfs of Dongkoy. He is very visible in person and in print, serving his constituents through projects and trying hard to identify the needs of the people. A three prong alliance makes them formidable and could avert the return of Emano as Mayor again, a possibility many wouldn’t imagine.
Dongkoy faces another problem on the rumor that Bambi is not happy in his job as Congressman. Maybe, Bambi is, after all, too young for that position. Besides, Bambi is said to be haunted by memories of an accident. Should Bambi decide to drop the congressional seat, where would he go? Had Bambi decided to run for Governor in the last elections, the demolition of Oca Moreno would have been completed by Dongkoy. Bambi couldn’t do that to his basketball partner.
Bambi can be mayor of Tagoloan again. Would he fight his own uncle Oloy? Not likely. By then, he could be persuaded by his father to run for Governor. And if that happens, expect cans of worms thrown against Oca Moreno. This time, its going to be real nasty, really ugly. But of course, its two years away. Things change and anyone could ride with or against the wind.
