A MAYORAL candidate in the city yesterday claimed that God roused him from his sleep on Tuesday, and told him to prevent Mayor Oscar Moreno, Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the city’s 2nd District, and ex-mayor Vicente Emano from getting elected next year.
Felix Borres filed his certificate of candidacy as an independent bet hours ahead of ex-mayor Emano, the standard bearer here of the Padayon Pilipino.
The Commission on Election (Comelec) received Borres’s certificate of candidacy at 10:40 am. This will be Borres’s third time to run for mayor in the city––he sought the mayoral post in the 2010 and 2013 elections.
Borres said he is out to unseat Moreno, and stop the two other challengers of the mayor––Rodriguez and Emano––from snatching city hall’s top seat in the 2016 elections on God’s instructions.
He claimed God woke him up in the wee hours of Oct. 13, and “reminded” him that he had to run for mayor so that he could fulfill his plan that Moreno and Emano failed to carry out.
“Pagmata nako, wala ko mahimotang, so ma-o to nga nag-decision na lanang ko nga mag-file sa COC pagka-mayor,” Borres said.
If he wins next year, Borres said he would only have two items in his agenda: get rid of the city’s flooding problem, and build a skyway as a solution to the city’s traffic woes.
“Ma-o ra kana akong programa, kay nganong daghanon paman nato nga na-a naman ang tanan karon gawas sa skyway ug ang kanunay nga pagbaha,” Borres said.
