THE REPORTED feud between Team Unity members Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson and Michael Defensor seems to be heating up after Singson said several Ilocano associations would not include Defensor on their sample ballots.
Here’s an excerpt from the Philippine Daily Inquirer article:
VIGAN, Ilocos Sur — Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson, a candidate for senator in the administration’s Team Unity, said Saturday a group of Ilocano associations will not be including another TU candidate, Michael Defensor, on sample ballots that it will be distributing.
Singson and Defensor are reportedly feuding because Defensor had allegedly suggested that Singson give up his TU slot in favor of indicted coup plotter Gregorio Honasan, an independent senatorial candidate, because the governor was doing poorly in the pre-election surveys.
Singson said the Confederation of Ilocano Associations (CIA), which boasts 2.3 million members nationwide, would drop Defensor’s name from their sample ballot.
So, what do you think will be the outcome of this “feud”? Will they kiss and make up in time?
