MEV remains formidable

Board Member Mariant Escaño-Villegas in a light moment with former congressman Meniong Teves refuses to slow down in her bid to become the first ever lady vice-governor of the province even if the governor chose a party outsider. While enjoying the full backing of 2nd District Rep. George Arnaiz, Teves’ blessings she acknowledges that getting Meniong’s support would further boost her chances even as her rival Dumaguete City Mayor Tuting Perdices has apparently given up efforts to corral Teves’ support by announcing his backing the Liberal Party standard bearer Noynoy Aquino.
