Arbitration likely in
3rd district - Iggy
BY CARLA GOMEZ

A Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats and Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino arbitration committee could settle disputes involving mayoralty bets in the third district of Negros Occidental, Rep. Ignacio Arroyo Jr. (Neg. Occ., 5th district), KAMPI regional chairman, said yesterday.

However, this will not stop individual bets from running as independents, he said. Third district mayors Severo Palanca - Victorias, Alfonso Gamboa - EB Magalona, Carlo Gamban - Silay, Eric Saratan - Talisay and Esteban Coscolluela - Murcia recently joined KAMPI.

Coscolluela said they did not join KAMPI to put up a candidate against Rep. Jose Carlos Lacson (Neg. Occ., 3rd district) who is a member of the Lakas CMD.

Respect equity of
incumbent, Lacson asks NPC
BY CARLA GOMEZ

San Carlos Mayor Eugenio Jose Lacson yesterday said he hopes the equity of the incumbent will be respected by the Nationalist People's Coalition in his bid to run for re-election.

Gov. Joseph Marañon yesterday said he will have to clarify with the NPC national directorate the party's position on the case of Lacson.

Lacson is a member of the NPC and has the right to the equity of the incumbent, but has indicated that he will support former Rep. Julio Ledesma, who is not the official NPC candidate for congressman of the first district, Marañon said. NPC chairman Faustino Dy and party president Frisco San Juan have nominated incumbent Rep. Tranquilino Carmona as the official candidate of the NPC.
