After vice mayoral candidate and Bacolod City Councilor El Cid Familiaran mistakenly endorsed incumbent Bacolod City Mayor Monico Puentevella in his closing statements during Wednesday’s Bombo Radyo-Bacolod debate, and subsequently correcting himself, Grupo Progreso (GP) mayoral bet and Familiaran’s running mate Rep. Evelio ‘Bing’ Leonardia responded, “It was human error and he admitted it.” “He made a slip,” said the congressman. “Insofar as GP is concerned, we say that’s it.” He indicated the group held a meeting and ensured full confidence in their vice mayoral bet. Leonardia expressed his anger at Puentevella for alleged rumor-mongering. “The problem is that our rival uses it against us with the purpose of sowing intrigues, spreading rumors that I got mad about it.” He called the suspected actions “black propaganda.” He went further, calling his rival’s camp “evil,” saying, “What else can you expect from an evil empire?” Following the flub, Puentevella’s MKK Partido Bacolod released a tongue-in-cheek press release thanking Familiaran for the support, claiming the endorsement came from his “inner sentiments.”/WDJ Watchmen Daily Journal By Paulo Loreto Lim
