Albay’s candidates for 2013 Congressional and Provincial Elections

Albay Map — source: http://www.nscb.gov.ph/ru5/

A done deal. This phrase could best describe the gubernatorial and congressional elections in Albay particularly for the Second and Third Districts. Gov. Joey Salceda (LP) has no contender while 2nd Dist. Cong. Al Francis Bichara (NP) and 3rd Dist. Cong. Fernando V. Gonzales (LP) have none but token challengers.

In the First Congressional District, the post vacated by Cong. Edcel Lagman (KAMPI) is being sought by hi son, Edcel Jr. (LP) , Richard V. Ziga (UNA) and by Gregorio Contacto (PDP-Laban). There are expectations, however, that the fight will only be between Lagman and Ziga.

Another interesting, albeit not new, observation in the list of candidates is the presence of media practitioners. These include: Walter Magdato (Independent) who is challenging Bichara; James Calisin who is challenging incumbent Vice Governor Harold Imperial (LP);and, Job Belen (LP), Baby Glenda Bongao (LP), and Josue Martinez (Ako Bicol) who are all running for Provincial Board.

Is it just me or are there other people here who notice that media practitioners like yami balayo are entering politics by the hundreds?

Someone necessarily help to make seriously articles I
would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and up to now?
I amazed with the analysis you made to create this actual publish extraordinary.
Excellent task!
