RAMA, LABELLA PLAY “I’M IT, I’M IT.’

It’s not original. Other politicians played that game before, usually with disastrous result to themselves and their party. But they don’t seem to learn.

Both Mike Rama, the former mayor, and Vice Mayor Labella know that it was tough to beat Mayor Tomas Osmeña with only one from the opposition running. It’s a whole lot harder to take him down, with both Edgar and Mike splitting the anti-Osmeña vote. Instead of “I am it, I am not,” it’s only “I am it” for each.

Each one is one hoping that the other will have good sense to give way, to have a united Team Rama-PDP Laban in the next election.
