‘Go-Bing Tha’ for 2010 officially launched
BACOLOD CITY — Mayor Evelio Leonardia officially announced yesterday his partnership with Presidential Deputy Spokesperson Anthony Golez who intends to run for congressman in the Lone District of Bacolod next year.
Leonardia led yesterday the launching of the group called “Go-Bing Tha” or Golez for Congressman, and himself as Mayor and Jude Thaddeus Sayson for Vice Mayor under the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) Party.
“We are here because we are all members of the Nationalist People’s Coalition, a party that was institutionalized to rekindle Filipino patriotism, creativity, productivity and self esteem to move this nation forward,” Leonardia said in his opening statement.
Leonardia said that the entry of Undersecretary Golez will dispel all speculation and intrigues that was hurled by their political opponents since Golez came from Malacañang which was dominated by the Lakas-Kampi Party.
Leonardia described Golez as a combination of national stature and a good adaptation in a local level.
Golez took his oath as NPC member last week prior to his official partnership with Leonardia.
Meanwhile, Golez lauded his partnership with Leonardia and assumes that all speculation against him is now over since it is now final that he will join the group called “Grupo Progreso” that toppled down the Local Paglaum Party last 2007 election.
Golez also confirmed that his intention to run for Lone District Representative under NPC Party had a blessing and clearance from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
