Except for Camarines Norte where results are still unavailable, Bicol has two new governors — Rizalina Seachon Lanete of Masbate, and Raul Lee of Sorsogon. Albay’s Joey Salceda, Camarines Sur’s L-Ray Villafuerte, and Catanduanes’s Joseph Cua were all re-elected.
In general, our forecasts were true. We only failed in Masbate where Lanete won over the incumbent, Olga Kho. One reason is that we failed to factor in the peace compact which restricted the forces supporting the Khos to exert pressure on the voters and the election tellers.
Below are the results based on the Comelec as of May 19, 2010.
