It’s not family feud, says Misor lawmaker Volume IV, No. 125 web portal: www.mindanaodailynews.com

B enedict wanted to claim moral and family ascendancy being the elder brother. By fielding his own daughter, the last-termer mayor wanted to claim the seat through the “equity of the incumbent principle.” A nephew, a son of the former congressman who was the eldest among the Lagbas siblings, is running as vice mayor. Lagbas, on the one hand, is fielding his own eldest son, “Taras,” a former town councillor, as his running mate. So it’s going to be uncle against niece for mayor and first degree cousins against each other for vice mayor. Their respective line up for councillor also has

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A member of the Neri clan, claiming to be a representative of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s PDPLaban, filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) provincial office as candidate for the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) in the second legislative district of Misamis Oriental. Thirty-seven year-old Glenn Neri, whose resume includes being a paramedic and a safety engineer in Iraq prior to his 2012 return here, hails from the Neri clan of Cagayan de Oro City, Claveria (Misamis Oriental) and Talakag (Bukidnon). Although still a neophyte in politics (he backed out being a Talakag vice-mayoralty candidate in the 2013 elecRUFUS FILES COC. Rep.

SUGBONGCOGON, Misamis Oriental--Even before the main protagonists for the mayoralty post in this town could file their respective Certificates of Candidacy (COCs), the May 2016 elections in this town is being dubbed as “the family feud” as they are blood-related. Graduating Sangguniang Panlalawigan member Benedict Lagbas is the Padayon Pilipino bet against his niece, a daughter of his younger brother who is also on his final term as mayor of this town. Efforts to reconcile their political differences months ago that even involved the local bishop of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI), the congregation the family belongs, proved futile.

Duterte did not personally show up at the Commission on Elecions office in Magsaysay Park. He authorized City Administrator Melchor Quitain to file his COC, accompanied by the mayor’s Chief Executive Assistant, Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go who wore a white collared shirt with this message printed in red: “No is no” and at the back, “Sinabi ko na, ayaw ko, ang titigas ng ulo nyo.” (I told you I don’t want to. You’re so stubborn). “Thank you but I have decided to run as mayor of Davao,” Quitain read the one-sentence message from Duterte, after filing his COC. Duterte has repeatedly been egged to run for President. On September 7, he announced he was not running for President, claiming

THE Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) approved the new feed-intariff (FIT) for wind projects at Php 7.40 per kilowatthour (kWh), which is significantly lower than the previous rate of Php 8.53 per kWh. “We already approved Wind FIT of Php 7.40 during our October 6 commission meeting,” ERC chairman Jose Vicente Salazar said in a text message Thursday. The FIT is a mechanism that allows generation companies to charge at a required per kWh rate for 20 years. The current FIT is competed for through completing the project at a set deadline. The chairman explained that the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) applied for a Wind FIT of Php 7.90 per kWh, but it had adjusted the amount due to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the internal rate of return (IRR) and the capacity factor. However, Salazar explained that the resolution has not been completely signed by the commissioners. See new, page A11
