Rep. Pryde Henry Teves of the 3rd district in Negros Oriental
has confirmed that he has switched his political affiliations
long time ago.
Teves, who is head of
the Lakas-CMD political
party in the 3rd district, however,
clarified that he may
have changed political party
lines but has not taken his
oath officially, along with
his uncle, former Finance
Sec. Margarito “Gary”
Teves.
From Lakas-CMD, the
Teveses are now affiliated
with the Nationalist People’s
Coalition (NPC).
He said proof of this is
that his chairmanship of an
important committee in congress
was supposed to be intended
for an NPC stalwart.
Teves said he and Cong.
Gorge P. Arnaiz and former
Sec. Gary Teves will be
working as a team in the
province, but the final lineup
will depend on the results
of a survey and consultation
to be conducted next month.
As to the vice-gubernatorial
tandem of Gary Teves,
the young legislator said
former NORSU president
Dr. Henry Sojor can be a
good legislator aside from
being a good executive.
Teves believes that there
can only be two major political
forces in next year’s
elections so that a number
ofpolitical parties are already
signing up with the
United Nationalist Alliance
(UNA) to fight against the
Liberal Party in 2013.
He stressed that he has no
choice but to align with the NPC,
and its but natural that those who
believe in his leadership will follow
their leader, referring to
Lakas stalwarts in the province.jg
