DAGUPAN
CITY, Pangasinan — Bugallon Vice Mayor Rodrigo Orduña, one of the leaders of
the Liberal Party (LP) leader in Pangasinan, threatened to resign from the
party if Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. will seek an elective post under the LP
banner.
Espino,
along with his sons who are running for local posts in next year’s elections,
has already announced their joining the LP.
However,
Orduña said that if the LP shall continue pursuing its “daang matuwid”
(straight path) political advocacy in the province, the party has “no room for
Gov. Espino.”
“Hindi
pa nagkakaroon ng miting sa grupong LP chapter napinamunuan ni dating gob
Victor Agbayani at wala kami alam na may ganyan na pumapasoksa LP sigov (There
has yet to be a meeting of the LP Chapter headed by former [Pangasinan] Gov.
Victor Agbayani and we had no inkling of that governor (Espino) joining the
LP),” said the vice mayor.
Orduña
recalled that he had filed the plunder case against Espino in 2012 before the
Office of the Ombudsman (OMB), alleging that he personally delivered P2.5
million in cash to the governor every Saturday as “jueteng” protection money.
“The
Liberal Party should consider the case against Espino,” Orduna said. “This runs
counter to our principle of daang matuwid.”
