THE Jalosjos siblings are now following the footsteps of their daddy in politics, attempting this time to wrestle control of Zamboanga Sibugay away from the clutches of the long-reigning Hofer family.
Last Saturday, Nov. 28, Rommel Jalosjos, son of jailed Zamboanga del Norte Rep. Romeo “Nonong” Jalosjos Sr., filed his certificate of candidacy for governor under the Lakas-Kampi CMD.
Rommel’s half brother, Romeo “Jon-jon” Jalosjos Jr., also filed his candidacy for congressman in the 2nd district of Sibugay while incumbent board member Boyet Yambao, son of Rep. Belma Cabilao, filed his for congressman in the first district.
Rommel’s slate are lawyer Rey Andre Olegario for another term as Vice-governor, Hadji Said Ajeron, Flor Coliba, Editha Colanghe, Eric Palma and Cris Jore for board members in the first istrict.
Ipil councilor Joel Ebol, Eric Cabarios, Boyet Abalde, Wilborne Danda and Sonny Dacula are the candidates for the provincial board in the second district.
Sunday, Nov. 29, the Hofers filed their respective candidacies, witnessed by hundreds of supporters and led by the three-termed Gov. George Hofer who wanted to be the mayor of Ipil. Punong Barangay Susing Tiu of Sanito is Hofer’s vice mayoralty bet.
At the provincial level, incumbent Rep. Ann Hofer filed for governor while Provincial Administrator George “Jet” Hofer II listed his name as representative for the second district.
Early on, board member Lycel Castor-Tan submitted her COC for congresswoman in the first district of Zamboanga Sibugay.
Board member and former Imelda mayor Juanito “Igsoon” Gonzales is Ann Hofer’s is vice-gubernatorial bet while lawyer Quirino Esguerra Jr., Vic Javier, Rodrigo Belosillo, Gani Balladares and Jessie Sali are the candidates for the provincial board in the second district.
This paper failed to get the names of provincial board candidates in the first district.
Both the Hofers and Jalosjos claim to be supported and running under the administration party. Media pundits see their stand-up fight in next year’s elections a “head-on collision.”
Meanwhile, Ann Hofer told media that the Hofers are the “official” bet of the ruling party, having had the blessings of party stalwarts DILG Sec. Ronaldo Puno and presidential candidate Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr.
She further said that the Lakas-Kampi’s national headquarters has already “terminated the names of the Jalosjoses as official candidates of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD.”
In the nearby Misamis Occidental, Nonong Jalosjos’ daughter, Svetlana, was reported to have filed for the mayoral seat of Baliangao.
