Domantay sad that opponents nixed covenant

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

MALASIQUI- The mayor here deplored how his political opponents have breached the covenant they entered with him before the elections of the Sangguniang Kabataan and the Association of Barangay Captains.

He said that he and Brgy. Captain Alfie Soriano and his father, former Mayor Alfonso Soriano, signed a covenant of support in November 22, 2011.

In the agreement each of them promised to give their full and unconditional support to a candidate endorsed by Domantay for the presidency of the SK poll, and the Sorianos for the presidency of the ABC.

The covenant stipulated that all the allies of the first and second parties represented by Domantay and the Sorianos, respectively, will give their full support to the candidates endorsed by the two parties.

But this town mayor lamented that the opposite happened on the part of the Sorianos.

“But sad to say that they do not follow the covenant. They put up an opponent against my daughter. When I was in Manila they got some SK chairmen and put them in their house.”

He said that the photo copies of the signed covenant he gave to the media men would unmask how the Sorianos violated their promise.

Despite the brouhaha before the conclusion of the poll, Grace Domantay and the young Soriano still won the presidency of the SK and the ABC , respectively.
