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 na pinamunuan ni dating gob Victor
Agbayani at wala kami alamna may ganyan na pumapasok sa LP sigov (There has yet to
be a meeting of the LP Chapter headed by former [Pangasinan] Gov. Victor
Agabayani 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), a lleging 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 daangmatuwid.”
