Capiz election has been peaceful for the past years since it was dominated and controlled by the united Liberal Party (LP) headed by Senator Mar Roxas and his mother Judy Araneta-Roxas.
But due to some unavoidable circumstances happened in Capiz politics especially the arguments between Capiz Governor Victor Tanco and 2nd District Congressman Fredinel Castro; and Roxas City Mayor Vicente Bermejo and 1st District Congressman Antonio del Rosario, this calm condition of Capiz turns to be tense and agitated. The situation was worsen when former Department of Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc joc Bolante” declared to run as Governor in 2010 election.
Congressman Castro together with Joc joc Bolante formed a local political party named Ugyon Kita Capiz (UKC). Some of the local leaders of the Liberal Party (LP) had joined UKC which was chaired by Castro, with Bolante as the Vice-Chairman.
This scenario affected the previous peaceful and united situation of Capiz politics. As the 2010 election is approaching, Capisnons feel immense pressure. It has been observed and noted from the previous activities handled by the Capiz Provincial Government (Capiztahan and Dungog Festival), that Mayors especially from the 2nd District are not supporting and participating in the activities. The gap between the Roxas City LGU and Capiz LGU is also expanding.
True colors of Capiz politicians are visibly reveal now a day… and with this, their loyalty, honesty and governance to the Capisnon and their political party are challenge. Below is the tentative line up of the two political parties in the 2010 Election for the major bids in local election in Capiz and Roxas City based on the print media news related to Capiz politics.

There might be changes and shuffling of line ups as the last day of filing of candidacy (November 30, 2009) is approaching. In Capiz politics, enemies becomes allies, allies becomes enemies. Expect for a worst scenario. Political strategies and machineries of each party were already conceptualized and executed.
Capisnon already feel the pressure of the results of this situation. But we have to be vigilant and push for a clean, peaceful and honest election. Still in our hands depend the judgment and future of our beloved Capiz, as we cast our vote in 2010 election. We have to choose the leaders that can really help us for the progress of one another and vote WISELY. Do not vote those politicians who have selfish motive and remember those who have motive for the improvement of Capiz.
Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.
Mag Ulikid, Mag Ugyon kag iSulong ang Maayo nga Pangimanwa para sa Masanag nga Buasdamlag sng mga Capisnon.

We need change for Capiz now. No more to the Roxas leadership of Capiznon voters.

If that’s the case, are you saying that Jocjoc Bolante is the better alternative for Capiz?
Enough of Gloria and Lakas candidates, especially in Capiz!

Good development in Capisnon politics — that there is a real challenge to the Roxas leadership. The Roxas Century of Capisnon politics has not made a significant impact on the socio-economic life of the Capisnons. What I see around are buildings, parks and offices named after the Roxas personages. Are these “impacts”?

Former Department of Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc joc Bolante a CORRUPT OFFICIAL.
Huwag kang magkalat dyan sa Capiz. Nanahimik ka sa issue about fertilizer scam. Isa kang tuta ng mga corrupt officials. Enough na ang mga kahindutan mo, huwag mo nang guluhin ang maayos na politika sa Capiz. We’re watching you.

panahon na para buslan ang liderato sa capiz nga dugay na nga hawid sang mga Roxas clan. Dugay na nila ginhawiran ang probinsya kag syudad pero indi man guihapon mabatyagan ang development. Lantawa si Mar, nag-Congressman na nag-DTI Seecretary na nag-Senator na, pero puro lng pa-picture taking! Mismo iya lugar indi nya ma-develop tapos naghandum pa sa National Post! Just think of it!

ari na lang ho ang maayo. daw OK man ini nga combination. Ok na si roxas nga mangin VP, basi kon ma-undo pa niya ang mga kapalpakan sang iya mga ancestors nga nangin national leaders na anay. kon wala pagid siya sang mahimo bisan after sina, ti, indi na siya pagbotohon sa pagka-presidente. kon i-diin ni joc-joc si glo, kay joc-joc ako. for now kay tanco ako. sin-o na si contreras? si ex-gov? city mayor? bermejo pa rin. congressman for 1st district, i don’t care, taga-2nd district ako. lastimoso vs. castro for the 2nd district. how was fred’s performance? how was bob’s performance in PNP? let’s review.
December 22, 2009 at 4:57 am
everyone has the right to comment. Lets just vote the right candidate. Do we have the alternative from the present lists of candidates. Let us review their performances and you will know whom to vote.

ako isa man ka capiznon pero kung ako mas ok si binay nga ibuto ng vice Pres. for the 2010 national election, sa makati maganda ang previlage nga ginahatag ni binay sa education kag health, isa sang nahatagan amo ang akon bata free sa college sa university of makati, kung mar Roxas ok man, pero sang naging congressman siya sa first dist. wala man may ginhatag sa roxas nga mga dalagko ng project, mas ok pa si dinggoy roxas ang iya nga manghod,dalagko nga project ang iya ginhatag sa roxas, especially ang hall of justice,water supply kag iban pa. tani man lang inde na pag intrahan sa mga araneta ang pulitika sa roxas kay ginahimo lang nga negosyo ang roxas.
