No VM choice yet for Oyo

Oct 13-19, 2011

Tagum City Mayor Rey “Chiong Oy” Uy has reiterated that his son second-termer Councilor De Carlo “Oyo” Uy is on definite course to run for mayor in the city, but he has yet no choice at presstime who would be Oyo’s vice mayoral tandem for the 2013 polls.

In an interview, he said: “Go na si Oyo” debunking issues that circulate in the rounds that Oyo might be running for other post.
But the mayor acknowledged that there are issues hurled in the definite mayoralty bid of his son like that he would be dictating Oyo once he gets elected to run the City Hall.

In response, he said: “Unsa man diay akong mga gipanghimo sa syudad? Makadaut ba or makaayo?”
But he said that he is not a type who would dictate Oyo what he should do once he is victorious to sit as a mayor to follow him, adding that he would only guide as a father who knows and learns politics ahead of his son.
Asked on who is his early choice as the vice mayoralty tandem of Oyo, with slow head gesture the mayor softly said, “wala pa.”
Earlier reports have it that vice mayoralty choices from the Liberal Party where the mayor and almost all of the members of the city council ran and won last May 2010 elections included from Councilors Mylene Baura and Nicandro “Nickel” Suaybaguio.

Separate reports said that while the last-termer Vice Mayor Allan Rellon was entertaining to run for mayor to contest Oyo he was more bent to run instead for boardmember considering his lack of funding to wage a good and feasible mayoral run against Oyo.
Former Congressman Arrel Olano was also reported to be harboring a plan to make a comeback mayoralty bid by 2013 but pundits said that he better not tangle for mayoral bid as he lost already his political luster as shown in the dismal votes he got in the last elections.

City Council approves P231 M loan to complete new City Hall City Council approves P231 M loan to complete new City Hall

NOV 18-24, 2010

The City Council has approved to secure a new loan worth P231 million for the completion of the new City Hall at Barangay Apokon as it authorized Mayor Rey Uy to be the loan signatory.

In a DXDN Radyo Ukay Tagum radio interview, senior Councilor De Carlo “Oyo” Uy said that the new loan would be secured from the Philippine National Bank with the 20 percent of the city’s Internal Revenue Allotment made as loan collateral. The loan carries 7.75 interest rate.

The City Council finally approved the loan in its Nov. 15 Monday session with the authority given to Mayor Uy to secure it.

“With the P231 million that has still to be approved by the bank, the total loan for the new City Hall is P681 million with the earlier loans of first P200 million and then P250 million from the DBP (Development Bank of the Philippines),” he said.

Uy, who is chairman of the budget, finance and appropriation committee, said that the city government can ably pay for the new loan even as old loans for the new city hall project are continuing to be amortized.

He said that based the city government’s projected revenues, the new loan is within the allowable debt servicing capacity as for the next year its debt servicing capacity will increase as to be certified by the Bureau of Local Government Finance. (cm with DXDN Radyo Ukay Tagum report)

NEWS: Oyo now serious for Congress bid

april 14

Tagum City Councilor De Carlo “Oyo” Uy is now serious in his plan of vying for the Davao del Norte District 1 congressional post amid reports that he has already prepared his camp, backed up by his father City Mayor Rey Uy, on how to further float his name to the electorate as a good congressional aspirant.
He gave silence on said report but instead he said in a text message that “I’m not confirming about it but I’m seriously contemplating the idea”.
Since when the former Vice Gov. Anthony Rafael del Rosario made a public admission early this year that he is afflicted with Hodgkin Lymphoma cancer in Stage 3 development, the post that would soon be vacated by last-termer Congressman Arrel Olano has become hotly sighted and prematurely contested by among Lakas and Kampi partymates.
At press time, Anthony’s father, Governor Rodolfo del Rosario is mum on whether his son, who declared his intention to run for the post mid last year, would be still be coming to gun for the post amid drumming up of reports that his disease is curable and the continued inclusion of Anthony’s name in province-sponsored sports activities.
Reported to be among those eyeing for the post were Vice Gov. Victorio “Baby” Suaybaguio, Boardmember Roger “Dangpanan” Israel, and Philippine Councilors’ League provincial president Helario “Larry” Caminero.
As Anthony went to Manila for treatment and as talks ripened over about his most potential successor from within the Lakas party, Vice Gov. Suaybaguio let loose gripes about the governor’s past political decisions and maneuverings that allegedly diminished the political stature of Suaybaguio.
At one time, Suaybaguio said in a report he could afford to be on the losing end this time around as to his longstanding congressional aspiration.
It could not yet be immediately ascertained if Suaybaguio has already patched things up with Del Rosario following the issue about the governor’s alleged act of disowning the vice governor’s whereabouts relating to his US trip last December.
The reported falling out of Suaybaguio from the governor’s grace has reportedly resulted to “much sipsipan” of Boardmember Antonio Lagunzad, while Boardmember Israel also continued to grumble over his own congressional ambition but careful of not hurting the governor as Israel bid for the latter’s political blessing.
Meanwhile, Boardmember Caminero said in an interview welcomed the latest statement of the younger Uy saying that “it’s good that there’s now voice from the youths like Oyo who will meet the challenge of representing our people in Congress.”
“I welcome him as a good potential rival,” Caminero added.
There is still much silence these days on whether the defeated congressional aspirant in the last polls, former DOTC Secretary Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez will be coming in to join the congressional fray. He already attempted twice but failed to grab the post despite the reported millions he poured to his political and barangay leaders especially in the last 2007 polls.
