CABANATUAN CITY - It's now official, Cherry Umali, wife of Nueva Ecija's 3rd District Rep. Aurelio "Oyie" Umali, is Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) party candidate for Nueva Ecija's third congressional district in the coming May 14 elections.
"I now hold the certificate attesting to that fact," Umali, the provincial Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats chairman told Manila Bulletin in an interview on Monday during the flag-raising ceremony at city hall.
On the same occasion, Umali has endorsed the candidacy of Alvin Vergara, cousin of incumbent Mayor Julius Cesar "Jay" Vergara and his anointed candidate to replace him at city hall.
The young Alvin Vergara, a virtual unknown general manager of Cabanatuan Electric Company or CELCOR, was propelled to instant household name here after Mayor Jay started building him up as his likely successor.
This move of Umali has bashed the hope of come-backing Rep. Pacifico "Rico" Fajardo of getting declared Lakas-CMD official candidate. - Magtanggol Vilar
