Ocampos: I’m no longer with Lakas

Monday, November 23, 2009

MISAMIS Occidental governor Loreto Leo Ocampos has confirmed that he is no longer with the ruling Lakas-Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino-Christian Muslim Democarats (Lakas-Kampi-CMD) party.

The governor’s announcement, made during an interview over dxDD-AM Ang Radyo Kampana, came four days after Ozamiz City mayor Reynaldo ‘Aldong’ Parojinog, Sr., pick as Lakas official candidate for congressional post in the 2nd district.

Ocampos’s falling out with the administration party started when his terms and conditions was not meet by Lakas.

One of Ocampos’ demands, all of his ‘favored candidates’ in his camps must be included as candidate for 2010 elections under the ruling party.

For example he wanted that Ozamiz city councilor Constancia ‘Connie’ Lim as the standard bearer for Lakas for the mayorship position but it was not granted by the party. He also suggested candidates for the first and second district but it was not approved.

“It’s a matter of principle nga dili angayang himoong kandidato ang mga tawo nga walay pagsalig ang katawhan. Tungod niini, akong gibati nga wala nila tan-awa kung kinsa ang angayan nga kuhaon, nga wala silay hanaw sa realidad ug sa tinuod nga sitwasyon, ug dapat lang nga mobulag ako u gang akong mga kauban sa Lakas,” Ocampos said.

In his press release, he will not accept any Lakas nomination if even one member of his camp be left behind.

Onother reason for Ocampos falling out with Lakas is the lackluster performance of their standard bearer in various surveys had forced about 30 to 40 percent of Lakas-Kampi-CMD members – with more expected to follow – to abandon ship, where he described Lakas as a ‘shinking-ship’

Ocampos admitted that one of the reasons for the exodus is the dismal performance of their presidential bet, former Defense Secretary Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro Jr., in presidential surveys.

In the recent Pulse Asia nationwide survey, only two percent of the 1,800 respondents preferred Teodoro to be the country’s next president. The administration party is hoping Teodoro’s rating would catch up soon.

As of the press time, Ocampos is seeking any party affiliation either Senator Manny Villar’s Nacionalista party or Senator Nonoy Aquino’s Liberal Party.
