Former Aklan Congressman Allen Quimpo shrugged off reports that he will run against Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo next year.
That “is far from truth and reality,” he said.
Quimpo said he is no longer interested to seek an electoral post, adding that his main focus is the Aklan Rivers Development council where he is an executive director.
“I’d rather support Rebaldo in his re election,” said Quimpo, a three-termer solon and former mayor of Kalibo.
Quimpo’s decision came as a no surprise to political observers. He earlier publicly announced his retirement in local politics to concentrate more on “private sector-related functions.”
Quimpo is also the president of Northwestern Visayan Colleges (NVC) an a prime mover of the Kalibo Save The Mangrove Association (KASAMA) – a cooperative – to develop and promote the Bakhawan Eco-Park, a natural mangrove eco-center in Brgy. New Buswang.
Quimpo said he is most likely to support Rebaldo who is seeking re election in 2007 under the ruling local party Tibyog Akean, including the political and united leadership of Aklan Rep. Florencio T. Miraflores, Aklan governor Carlito S. Marquez and Aklan Vice Governor Ronquillo C. Tolentino. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
