If plans do not go haywire, the local opposition will put up a complete slate in 2010.
This optimism was expressed by Chito Castillo who said "with what little I have" he can be of help in bankrolling part of the opposition budget for candidates who will run under his group.
He said with 2010 a contest for presidential timbers, it's never remote that any of the opposition candidates will have to field their own ticket in Bohol.
Except for Board Member Yul Lopez, the rest of the ticket will have to be identified yet but if the enthusiasm of party leaders was any gauge, it will not be farfetched that a complete opposition slate is tenable.
Former governor Rene Relampagos is being groomed for another crack of the gubernatorial post but at the moment he is still "non-committal".
He admitted however that he and Board Member Lopez are making the rounds in the towns to feel the pulse of the electorate.
He expressed elation that the reception was encouraging and this could be his own springboard to seek another try of the gubernatorial post which denied him two times in a row.
Relampagos was a two-term governor when he was waylaid on his third reelection attempt.
For Lopez, his impressive showing in the last elections propelled him to gun for the first district congressional plum. He placed number one in the race for first district board members.
All proteges of Castillo, the two were banking on the financial firepower of the son of the late congressman Natalio Castillo, Sr.
The young Castillo admitted that his business in Manila is doing fine and this prompted him to share what little he has in terms of finances for any candidate he will support.
He said his fiesta preparations in Loon today where he left no stone unturned in terms of table preparations was his way of thanking Mother Mary for all the blessing she has showered all these years.
