Probable Mayoralty Matches in P'gasinan

 By Prof. Arnel Montemayor

Wala pang October, marami pang mangyayari bago mag file ang mga kakandidato. Pakiramdaman. Anong issue kaya ang ibabato sa bawat isa? Mga maglalaban sa mayor at vice mayor at ang mga forecast:

Dagupan City

Incumbent Mayor Brian Lim versus former Mayor Belen Fernandez; at sa vice mayor ay Brian kua vs Manang Celia Lim. Brian Lim still formidable

Binmaley

Anak na Jonas Rosario vs Edgar Mamenta , I find it a good match, depende sa dami ng pera at issue.

Lingayen

Sitting Mayor Pol Bataoil versus former Sual Mayor John Arcinue? Taking opportunity after losing in Sual? or former Lingayen Mayor Iday Castaneda compared to the Arcinues is a better opponent against the incumbent pero atalo la.

POLITICAL FACES voters will be seeing on the campaign trails for the May 9, 2022 Election. From left photo and clockwise Dagupan City Mayor Brian Lim, Dagupan City former Mayor Belen Fernandez, Aguilar Mayor Roldan Sagles, and Lingayen Mayor Pol Bataoil (Text: Mortz C. Ortigoza)

(Arcinue told me he is not challenging Bataoil. He thought Bataoil will run for Congress where he (Arcinue) wants to throw his hat for the mayorship against Vice Mayor Juday Vargas-Quiocho - Editor)

Bugallon

Incumbent Mayor Mely Espino vs former Mayor Ric Orduna. Siya lang – si Ric - ang medyo may alam kong makakalaban.

Aguilar

Incumbent Mayor Roldan Sagles - tahimik lang siya pero kahit mag issue ang opponent na nagda-dialysis grabe pa rin mag serbisyo- vs Crystal Ballesteros o Dondon Zamuco who never supported the incumbent.

Mangatarem

Is Balong or Mayor Ramil Ventenilla unopposed again? But former Congressman and Ex-Mayor Teddy Cruz coming out again.

As former vice mayor, and a veteran public servant gears for a show down with a young Punzal in the vice mayorship.

Urbiztondo

Hizzoner Martin Sison taking another chance for his last a third term against Provincial government executive Moding Operana who never stop helping the Espinos- a tough fight.

Basista

With sitting Mayor JR Resuello - a tough transformer of his town versus an alleged sore person due to his unconfirmed application as the town's Budget Officer' s Edgardo Tagum na malawak daw mag isip.

Labrador

Mayor Domy Arenas - a tough and smart Hizzoner - vs. former Mayors Ernesto Acain or Ricardo Camacho? Let's wait and see for the real issues to crop out as the acrimonious campaign season nears.

As what famous international boxing announcer’s Michael Buffer hollered:

“Lets get ready to see the ruummbbleee!”
