Former Congressman Monico Puentevella has declared that he and his family are set to go into a sort of soul-searching, as they embarked on a serious effort to decide his political future.
In an interview with Aksyon Radyo yesterday, Puentevella said with elections coming up next year, he sees the need to unite his whole family on his electoral plans. After their short soul-searching, he will then be able to decide not only on his political future and what position will suit him best. By then, he would be able to make an announcement as to the position he will aspire for and the whole slate as congressman, mayor, down to vice-mayor and councilors. Puentevella, in the interview bared that whatever names have come out are by no means, official. Talks say that he is dead set on running with his tandem for vice-mayor, businessman Vladimir Gonzalez. Talks going the rounds have already indicated this from political pundits who Puentevella’s running mate will be, the candidates for councilors of his slate and his position towards his former partymates in the election, who now call themselves First Five. The talks go that councilor Archie Baribar wants to be Puentevella’s runningmate as vice-mayor. The other members of the First Five namely, Councilors Sonya Verdeflor, El Cid Familiaran, Elmer Sy and "graduating" councilor Catalino Alisbo would not hear of Baribar not running for vice-mayor. On the other side of the political spectrum, Congressman Dr. Anthony Golez who has declared his intention to run for congressman or seek reelection if need be against Mayor Evelio Leonardia, has not indicated who will comprise his slate. From all indications, Golez has kept his political cards close to his chest. But talks say, former Councilor Alex Paglumotan and departing Councilor Homer Bais have already decided to jump over to Golez’ political camp.*(EAC) Submitted by Edgar Cadagat Negros DailyBulletin
