AHONG, SAMSAM, JONAS

TEAM DERETSO FALLS. Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan of Team Libre is not just defeating Rep. and former mayor Paz Radaza. He’s burying her, with a 103,000 plus lead. On top of that, his party has a total sweep of the City Council, led by his vice mayor Celsi Sitoy and Ahong’s congresswoman wife Cindi Chan. Another Radaza, Harry Don Radaza of the crushed Team Deretso, fell to #19 in the Sanggunian race.

‘REBELLION’ CRUSHED. Talisay City Mayor Samsam Gullas beat former ally Allan Bucao by 62,000 plus votes and his Alayon-NP party zeroed the opposition in the City Council, from vice mayor to the last councilor.

Two other Gullases also won, apparently newbies being launched to continue the family brand: wife Rhea, as congresswoman of the first district, and cousin Digul Gullas, #1 councilor.

CORTES, OUANO RULE. Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes defeated Olin Seno and his party PDP Laban totally controls the City Council, from vice mayor to #8 councilor. Partymate Lolypop Ouano-Dizon was unchallenged and got more votes than Mayor Cortes: Lolypop’s 153,004 with Jonas’s 102,786.
