TABUK
CITY, Kalinga -- Enemies ended up as allies Thursday after a radio broadcaster
who was beaten up by a governor filed his certificate of candidacy for a position
in the provincial council under the latter’s ticket.
Former
Radyo ng Bayan anchorman Jerome Tabanganay is lined up with Kalinga Gov.
Jocel Baac, who is seeking a third term under the Liberal Party.
In
2012, Tabanganay filed charges of grave abuse of authority against Baac for
beating him up in the announcer’s booth.
The
incident resulted in the governor’s suspension.
The
two have settled their differences in a series of dialogues brokered by local
leaders for a united Kalinga, according to Pasil Mayor James Edubba, the
party’s official vice gubernatorial bet.
Edubba
is pitted against board member GelacioBongat of the Nationalist People’s
Coalition.
Baac
will face Conrado Dieza of the United Nationalist Alliance, whom he defeated in
the 2013 elections.
