Pick Margot, you get 2 mayors. Pick Dave, the mayor will have a double.

A LINE that Tomas Osmena used in a past campaign, was “take one, get two,” referring to himself and another awardee candidate. In his wife Margot’s bid for mayor, the pitch may apply. BOPK hasn’t offered but also hasn’t denied or discouraged the prospect that if Margot wins, a “conjugal leadership” runs City Hall: one from the mayor’s office, the other from the Osmena’s Guadalupe residence. Margot says she’d seek her husband’s advice but will do it “my way,” not Tomas’s.

IF independent bet David Tumulak wins, he’ll have the advantage of having a double -- his twin brother Jonathan, who can stand in for the mayor in public events: will save Dave time and confuse those who’d want to harm the chief executive.
