FORMER councilor Luz Sabanal broke her silence after years of being away from public life to express her support for newly installed Macasandig barangay chairman Aaron Neri, and endorse the mayoral bid of Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the city’s 2nd District.
“Ako ang nag-sigi ug text ni Rufus, ug ako ang nag-advise kaniya nga modagan siya sa pagka mayor,” Sabanal said.
Sabanal, who served as a member of the city council during the Magtajas administration until 1998, went to see Neri the day he took over as Macasandig’s barangay chairman, and expressed her support to him. Neri, incidentally, is a candidate for city councilor under Rodriguez’s ticket.
The former councilor did not say anything negative about Mayor Oscar Moreno or former mayor Vicente Emano when she openly endorsed Rodriguez.
“Human na man ta ni Dongkoy. Natistingan napod nato karon si Mayor Moreno. Si Rufus na sad atong tistingan aron atong makita kon maayong laki ba gyud ni siya nga modulama sa atong syudad,” Sabanal said.
Sabanal said that at 71 years, she no longer has interest in seeking public office.
“Ang kahulogan sa politika, ‘Puli-puli Lang Ta.’ Human na man ang akong panahon sa politika, sila na pod,” she said. (nitz arancon)
