"Let the Bangan-hons decide their own destiny. Why will other people from other municipalities decide for us who will be the officials to lead the people of Banga?" asked Dr. Mercedes Imperial during a press conference she hosted. The presscon was held in ASU Cafeteria, Banga, Aklan on the early morning of Saturday, October 17.
Dr. Imperial referred to the Tibyog committee which favored the incumbent Vice Mayor of Banga Hon. Melanio Rentillo as the Tibyog Mayoralty candidate for Mayor of Banga. That committee is composed of Atty. Ronquillo C. Tolentino, Hon. Gerick Templonuevo, and Hon. Jose Yap.
"I have made up my mind to serve sincerely as Mayor of Banga if my people will allow me to serve them with all sincerity, loyalty, honesty, and well", Imperial declared during the press conference.
In the same occasion, a manifesto which indorsed her candidacy for Banga Mayor in the May 2010 elections was read. Among others, the manifesto was signed by Gina Dela Cruz–Daguitan; Priscila Rasco–Tabayon; Elisa Nival–Poblacion, Banga; Rowena Restar–Mambog; Juan Relator–Agbanawan; Basilio Regatallo–Polocate; Rey Ruzgal–Badiangan; Bernard Barrera–Lapnag; Lourdes Seraspi–Sigcay; Ramon Sante–Daja Sur; Vicente Navarra–Bacan; Ulysis Villanueva–Cerrudo; Amadeo Rogan–Poblacion; Nick Reteo–Cupang; Vicente Ibesate, Sr. –Ugsod; and Rosemarie A. Adorna who also read the manifesto.
According to Dr. Imperial, her municipal ticket is completed except for one Sangguniang Bayan member. Her running mate for Vice Mayor is Atty. Jufrey "Bongbong" Derequito. Her SB member candidates are Ramon Sante, Errol Fuentes, Yanyan Masigon, Arvin Recio, Eduard Retiro, Bobby Teodosio, and Jovanni Relator. The 8th candidate will be named soon.
During the press conference, some Banga professionals who supported to victory Mayor Antonio Maming in the May 2007 elections were present such as Atty. Sergio R. Rigodon, Atty. Liberato Ibadlit, Atty. Diomedes Resurreccion; and former Mayor Stevens Fuentes.
Asked why they are shifting support to Dr. Imperial, Atty. Resurreccion responded, "Mayor Maming has failed the Banganhons". /MP
