Congressional Candidates — Sorsogon

Unlike the other provinces, Sorsogon is towards geographical consolidation rather than division. It should be noted that in 200_, the Municipalities of Sorsogon and Bacon merged to what is now known as the City of Sorsogon. Hence, no moves to divide the congressional districts of the province occurred.

But while there is geographical consolidation, the case is otherwise in terms of politics. especially in the Second District. The candidates are as follows:

District 1

ESCUDERO, SALVADOR III HATOC – NPC
HAMOR, JOSE EDWIN BRONDIAL – NP

District 2

DE GUZMAN, FLOCERFIDA ALFARO – Lakas-KAMPI
ESCALANTE, EDMUNDO HOLAZO – PMP
GAVANZO, ROSARIO GRAYDA – Independent
GLIPO, ARZE GUTAY – PDP-LABAN
GOLPEO, RICARDO GREY – NPC
GUYSAYKO, JUAN GUTIERREZ – NP
ONG, SAPPHO GILLLEGO – Independent
RAMOS, CYRIL ENGUERRA – Independent
RAMOS, DEOGRACIAS, JR. BAÑARES – LP

It’s a take for incumbent Salvador Escudero in the First District. Hamor, though, will not come out without a fight but it seems that he will just be banging his head to a concrete wall. Puwedeng ma-solid niya an Casiguran pero sobrang sadit an munisipyo mala ta an botante nasa 16,833 sana o 9% kan bilog na botante sa Distrito. Kan 2007, si Salvador nakakua ki 62,368 na boto o 54.13% kan boto sa pagka-kongresista. Dakula an posibilidad na dai maharayo an makukua niyang boto sa nakuha niya kan nakaaging pirilian.

Meanwhile, Second District will be a rumble. Though there are nine candidates, the race will eventually narrow down to a four-cornered fight and this is between incumbent mayor Deogracias “Ding” Ramos, incumbent Provincial Board member Arze Glipo (PDP-Laban), Ricardo Golpeo (NPC), and Juan Guysayko (NP).Many are looking though at Ding Ramos to emerge as the possible winner. Ang problema, may kaapelyido si Ding kaya baka malilibong lang ang mga botante. May hatak man pati si Cyril Ramos mala kan 2007, sobra man sa beinte mil an nakua kaining boto.

Kan 2007, naglaban na si Golpeo sa pagka-kongresista asin nakakua siya ki 31,840 na boto. Si Glipo, naglaban man bilang Board Member asin nakakua ki 37,760 na boto.
