Three of the biggest names in Aklan politics – Ramos, Mobo-Garcia and Calizo - joined forces for the upcoming May elections to give the ruling local party Tibyog Akean a ‘real fight’. Maria Bettina Mobo-Garcia confirmed that she has been meeting with Vicky Ramos of the Aklan Independent Movement (AIM) and Gabrielle ‘Billie’ Calizo of Kusog it Akean, the last of which was on January 23, 2007.
The trios – Tres Marias – were seen during the recent Kalibo Ati-Atihan festival along with former Aklan Electric Cooperative (Akelco) executive assistant Erico Bucoy, former Liga ng mga Barangay president Rudson Mayor and former Akelco general manager Leovigildo Mationg. Mobo-Garcia, who traces her roots from Makato and Batan, is the eldest daughter of former Aklan governor Ben Hur Mobo and granddaughter of former governor Virgilio Patricio. She is also the loving wife of Ibajay Mayor Roberto Garcia, Jr.
Ramos is the daughter of the Father of Aklan and former congressman Godofredo ‘Goding’ Ramos while Calizo, who hails from vote-rich town of Balete, is a former Aklan solon. "We are prepared to give Tibyog Akean a real fight. What’s the rush to proclaim and declare early? They stressed.
"What is important is we are fielding the municipal level candidates," Garcia stressed. It was learned that Malacañang surveyed which political combination could best gave the Tres Marias a fighting chance in the midterm elections in Aklan province.
With the entry of Tres Marias in the political scene, Tibyog Akean remained intact and solid and the affiliation of Kusog it Akean member and Makato town mayor Ramon ‘Jun’ Legaspi, Jr. to Tibyog Akean last week brought 16 out 17 town mayors in Aklan to its fold. Garcia remained firm in her decision to run for the gubernatorial post, however, recent political developments showed she might challenge the incumbent Aklan Rep. Florencio T. Miraflores, uncle of his husband, Ibajay town mayor Roberto Garcia, Jr. "The unified ticket will be announced when the right time comes."
At least we can gauge through public opinion which is the best combination," Mobo-Garcia added. Ramos, for her part, is firm of her choice: Governor of Aklan if she ever participate as candidate in the May 2007 elections. Calizo is reportedly eyeing the vice-gubernatorial post now occupied by lawyer-journalist and incumbent Ronquillo Tolentino. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
