MALUNGON, Sarangani – SINASABING mangunguna si dating senador Ernesto ‘Manong’ Maceda sa listahan ng mga susuportahang senador ng lokal na administrasyon sa ilalim ng alyansang People’s Champ Movement ni Rep. Manny Pacquiao at nang United Nationalist Alliance dito sa naturang bayan.

 

Ang kasiguruhang ito’y personal na ipinaabot ni Mayor Reynalso ‘Bong’ Constantino at ng mga kaalyado nito sa UNA-PCM kay Maceda dahil sa umano’y ipinakita nitong pagpapahalaga sa pamamagitan ng pagiging pinakauna na kakandidato sa pagka-senador na dumalaw sa kanyang distrito.

“Madamo gid nga salamat Manong Erning sa ginpakita mo nga interes sa akon munisepyo. Gani upod sang tanan nga mga opisyales sang PCM diri nga yara sa idalum sang liderato ni Rep. Manny Pacquiao, akon nga mga kasimanwa kag tribo sang mga Blaan kag Taga-Kaulo, ginasiguro ko sa imo nga ikaw ang manguna sa amon listahan sa pagka-senador sa umaabot nga piniliay,” ani Constantino.

Naging masaya rin sa kanilang paguusap sina ABC president Delia F. Constantino at Maceda, kasabay sa pagunita ng mga nadaang panahon na buhay pa at naging magkaibigan ang kabiyak na si dating Sarangani Vice Governor Filepe K. Constantino at ang naturang senador.

Dahil na rin sa maganda nitong ipinakita sa publiko bilang Senador noong taong 1971-1987-1992 ay naging presidente ng Senado si ‘Manong’ noong 1996-1998.  Naging ambassador to the US din ito noong taong 1999-2001, at humawak ng  ilan pang mga matataas na katungkulan sa gobyerno kung saan ay tinagurian ito bilang si “Mr. Exposé ng Philippine Free Press.   

Samantala, sa kasalukuyang bilang na 54, 000 botante, ang bayan pa rin ng Malungon ang itinuturo na nakapagbibigay ng may pinakasolido na bilang ng boto basi sa mga naitalang mga dokumento ng Comission on Elections nitong mga nakaraang mga taon.

Sinasabi rin ng marami na matapos na matalo sa kanyang pagtakbo sa pagka-alkalde noong 2004 si Constantino (vice mayor Constantino vs. incumbent mayor Teody Paderrnilla) ay muli itong nakapaglunsad ng kanyang kandidatura at nanalo sa pagka-alkalde sa tulong ng matalik nitong kaibigan na si Rep. Pacquiao noong taong 2007. Nanalo ito ng may 1, 547 votes laban kay Padernilla.

Dahil sa pagiging natatanging oposisyon town sa Sarangani, nakipaglaban at tumayo ang bayan ng Malungon na walang kinikilalang matataas na opisyal o inaasahan na ano mang tulong mula Kapitolyo sa loob ng may tatlong taon.

Taong 2010 ay muling nagharap sina Constantino at Padernilla kung saan nanalo via ‘landslide’ si Constantino sa bilang na 11, 383 na boto laban sa grupo ng Chiongbian-led Sarangani Reform and Reconciliation Organization o SARRO.

Sinasabi na dahil na rin sa ‘unidad’ ng mga Malungonians ay nagsisilbi na rin ito ngayon bilang ‘deciding point’ ng mga provincial candidates tuwing eleksiyon.  

Sa kasalukuyan, dahil na rin umano sa patuloy na pamamayagpag ng progreso sa naturang bayan ay kinikilala na ito ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan sa pamumuno ni Gob. Miguel Alkantara-Dominguez bilang ‘spearheader of progress and development’ sa buong lalawigan.  (Isagani Palma-MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).

Suporta ni Pacman, eksklusibo sa PCM!

Solely, PCM – Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao have assured a “one for all, all for one” battle cry as he dispel a brewing public surmise believe to be hatched by some groups of disgruntled politicians who said to be vying the 2013 elections under the congressman’s blessing. Pacquiao’s pledge has reverberated the presence of his old buddy, Mayor Reynaldo ‘Bong’ Constantino, PCM-Sarangani Chapter executive vice president and Malungon town People’s Champ Movement (PCM) official candidates amid an exclusive party meeting held at Grab a Crab Resto-bar (Robinson’s Branch) in General Santos City.

A big ‘NO’ to political foes – MARIING ikinaila ni Rep. Manny Pacquiao ang mga lumalabas na usaping may iba pa umano itong susuportahan na mga pulitiko  maliban sa sariling partido na People’s Champ Movement sa bayan ng Malungon, Sarangani. Ang naturang ‘assurance’ ay paulit-ulit na ipinaabot ni Pacquiao sa mga nahirang na kakandidato sa ilalim ng PCM sa Grab a Crab Resto-bar (Robinson’s Branch) sa General Santos City. Makikita din sa larawan si Malungon town Mayor Reynaldo ‘Bong’ Constantino na siyang executive vice president ng grupong PCM, Sarangani Chapter. (Isagani Palma-MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE)

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - WALANG kagatol-gatol na hinulog ni Rep. Manny Pacquiao ang  lumalabas na usaping may iilan umanong kakandidato sa darating na halalan na makakatangap ng suporta-financial mula sa nasabing Kongresista datapwat’t hindi naman kasapi ng People’s Champ Movement.

“May mga binigyan ako ng ilang pagkakataon pero binale-wala nila ito kaya’t ako na mismo ang magsasabi sa inyo (PCM official candidates) na wala na ito sila sa listahan ko at wala silang maaasahan na tulong mula sa akin sa darating na halalan,” ang mariing sabi ng Kongresista sa gitna ng isinagawang exclusive dinner meeting ng grupong pinamumunuan ng matalik nitong kaibigan na si Mayor Reynaldo ‘Bong’ Constantino, PCM executive vice president sa Sarangani, sa Grab-a-Crab Resto-Bar, General Santos City.

Sinabi din ni Pacquiao na walang uanong dapat na ikabahala ang lahat ng mga m’yembro ng PCM dahil isa sa mga alituntunin ng partido ay “walang hulugan,” para makapagbigay ito ng matibay na ihemplo ng unidad at mabuting liderato sa nasabing lalawigan.

Samantala, nagbigay din si Constantino ng mahigpit na babala sa lahat ng mga m’yembro ng PCM na dapat magkaisa at iwasan ang tinatawag na ‘vote for one’ na sestima sa 2013 elections, lalo na sa panig ng mga kakandidato sa pagak-konsehal sa kanyang distrito.

“Indi gid naton paghimoon ang pagpa-boto para lang sa aton nga kaugalingon hilabi na sa aton nga mga nagkadaiya nga mga balwarte para lamang masiguro ang kadaugan sa eleksiyon. Kay kung matabo kag mahibal-an ko, ako mismo ang magmando sang amo man nga klase sang diseplina kontra sa inyo,” ani Constantino.

Sa ginanap na PCM oath taking kamakailan lang ay kasamang nanumpa bilang bagong kasapi ng People’s Champ Movement ang bise gobernador ng lalawigan na si Vice Gov. Steve Chiongbian-Solon na noo’y isa sa mga flag bearers ng Sarangani Reform and Reconciliation Organization (SARRO) na naging mahigpit na kalaban sa pulitika ni Pacquiao sa probinsiya.

Ayon sa iilan, ang pagsanib ni Solon sa partido ay isang malinaw na indikasyon lamang ng isang magandang liderato at pamamahala ni Pacquiao sa kanyang nasasakupan.

Samantala, kabilang sa mga incumbent at bagong opisyales ng PCM sa bayan ng Malungon na nakatakdang magsusumite ng kani-kanilang mga ‘certifico de candidatura’ sa Comelec ngayong araw ng Meyerkules (October 3, 2012) ay sina: Mayor Reynaldo ‘Bong’ Constantino, Bise Mayor Jessie Dela Cruz, at sina municipal councilors Benjamin Guilley (concurrent third-timer vice mayor), Joseph Calanao, Mariano Escalada, Edelberto Yuzon, Mariano Tan, Nene Espinosa-Santos at Mark Henson Villareal. Ayon sa ulat ay una na umanong nagsumite ng kani-kanilang kandidatura sa Commission  on Elections ng Alabel sina Board Members Armand Guili at Cesar Nallos kahapon, kasabay sa hanay nina Rep. Manny Pacqiao at sa maybahay nitong si Jinky Jamora-Pacquiao na tatakbo sa pagka bise-gobernadora ng naturang distrito. (Isagani Palma-MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).
