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?

madaldal si ‘tol mike pero hindi nya dapat ginawa ke chavit yun. and chavit should not blackmail ‘tol mike of his CIA.
anyway, as an ilonggo, iboboto ko si mike at hindi si chavit. wala namang naniniwala pa ke chavit kundi sarili nya. pustahan, each of the tean UNITY will not deliver 12-0 in their respective areas.
tiya nga ni mike yung isa pang sira ulong senador. ibang klase naman yun. i believe hahataw naman si mike in the final stretch, especially sa visayas at mindanao.
accepted naman na matatalo siya sa ilocandia e. at least sa western visayas, kahit ayaw namin ke chavit, hindi pinupunit ang mga posters niya.
kasalanan lang naman siguro ni mike na dumikit sya ng husto ke GMA. pero hindi naman tamang buttlicker sya. iba namang ilonggo yun no! si raul gonzalez, sr. tapang ng apog ng mamang yun! mamamatay na lang, nakikipag-away pa! pero antagal talaga! antagal pa nyang matigok!
masamang damo kasi…. tulad ni chavit.

They’ll both lose anyway, so pitting two losers againts each other is a moot point.
Once again we witness PGMA’s garrulous minion, the soundbyte-addicted Mike Defensor open his decomposing lips, much to the the annoyance of a shady underworld boss masquerading as a governor.
These two are among the least desirable people to become senators. Thankfully our kababayans have seen how Tol and Chavit have conducted themselves in power. Along with Pichay and hopefully Sotto… I’d be very happy not to see (atleast the 4 of) them sitting in front on the next SONA.

It’s crab mentality and for sure, they’ll drag each other down the pits. I hope that voters realize to choose candidates with real and noble intentions to help and progress our country. Thus, we should scrutinize the candidates integrity, past accomplishment and his/her future plans. Let us shy away from traditional politicians who pays people to win elections, silences opponents and lords over others. These politicians days are over!

One is a backstabber of the former president. The other is a buttkisser of the present one. Bottomline is I would never vote for these two. Thank heavens the surveys don’t seem to appreciate their too much media exposure. Alas, the only thing that gives them a knack at winning is their allegiance to the GMA. Garci anyone?

I would rather vote for the Kapatiran that opt for these two wannabes. Kinda sense that this guys just want to hug the limelight. Media mileage for FREE!
