Sen. Roxas’s ally hits back at Belo
ROXAS CITY – An ally of Sen. Mar Roxas hit back at Panitan mayor Kit Belo following the former’s statement against the mayor recently.
Mr. Rosauro Del Castillo told The News Today (TNT) that his statement over the radio was indeed his personal opinion and was not in behalf of the Liberal Party (LP).
Del Castillo also hit back at Provincial Administrator Zoe Herrera for blaming him in issuing such statement without the authority from the party.
Herrera blamed Del Castillo for endorsing Dr. Celenni Bauson, wife of Board Member Felix David Bauson, to run for mayor in Panitan against Belo in 2010 election.
“I know my limitation and I never dared to go beyond it,” Del Castillo said adding that he only expressed his opinion as a Panitananon.
“What is stupid is hiding under the umbrella of LP for protection and at the same time supporting candidates of Ugyon Capiz,” Del Castillo said referring to Belo.
Earlier, Belo strongly denied Del Castillo’s allegation that she supported Former Agriculture Usec. Jocelyn “Jocjoc” Bolante.
The Lady mayor also denied that her mother Josepina Dequiña is campaigning for Bolante.
Being a distant relative of Mrs. Carol Dorado, wife of Bolante, Dequiña attended the Dorado family reunion in May this year in Panitan.
Belo said that nobody could question her loyalty to the LP since she and her family supported the party’s candidates in the previous election.
She added that her mother, former Mayor Dequiña, was the only mayor who was retained after Edsa people power revolution since she was supporting President Cory Aquino.
“It’s stupid allegation, I am loyal to the party,” the angry mayor earlier told TNT.
