Based on the records of the regional Comelec office, there were 3,702 candidates who have filed their CoCs for positions of governors, vice governors, congressmen, provincial board members, city and town mayors, vice mayors and councilors.
At least 28 candidates are running for governors, 16 for vice governors, 122 for board members, 48 for congressmen, 345 for mayors, 325 for vice mayors and 2,818 for council seats.
These candidates would be contesting six positions for governors; six positions for vice governors; 12 for congressional posts; 56 for provincial board members; 143 for mayors; 143 for vice mayors and more than 1,400 seats for city and municipal councils.
In Northern Samar, four are running for governor; two for vice governor, five for congressmen (for two congressional districts); 20 for provincial seats; 55 for mayors, 39 for vice mayors and 450 for councilors.
In Eastern Samar, nine are running for governor; three for vice governor; eight for congressmen (lone district); 13 for board members; 60 for mayors, 62 for vice mayors and 504 for town councilors.
Six candidates have filed for governor of Samar; three for vice governor, 12 for its two congressional districts; 18 for provincial board; 56 for mayors, 61 for vice mayors and 496 for councilors.
In Biliran, five are in the running for governor, five for vice governor; three for its lone congressional district; 21 for provincial board members; 24 for mayor; 22 for vice mayor and 172 for council seats.
In Southern Leyte, three are running for governor; two for vice governor; three for its lone congressional district; 16 for board members; 41 for mayor; 43 for vice mayor and 345 for councilors.
And in Leyte, the region’s biggest province in terms of elective office representations, incumbent Governor Jericho Petilla and his vice governor, Mimiette Bagulaya are assured on their reelection bids as they are running unopposed.
Meantime, there are 17 candidates who filed their CoCs for the province’s five congressional districts with only two are incumbents, Ferdinand Martin Romualdez (1st) and Andy Salvacion (3rd) seeking for reelections.
About 24 have filed for the provincial board; 109 for mayor; 98 for vice mayor and 851 for city and town councilors.

I thought Cong Chong is strongly against dynasticism. Look people of Biliran,He’s just starting to fool us guys. Moreover, He just make us believe that He’s sincere of what he had promise during the campaign period (1st term) about His intense aversion of dynasticism. Now, I’m about to doubt what really His intention. At first, I was really convinced about His genuineness in serving our province, but now, that He’s planning to coalesce to his one and only “Daddy” and I am beginning to visualize what they have in their mind. You know what I found, it’s very fuzzy and vague. Wake up people of Biliran! Don’t let his appearance bulldoze your sanity. Just make your brainpower reflect for awhile.

If cong. chong will not field nis father to fight against gerry boy espina, kinsa man kuno ang pwede mokandidato na dako og chance na makapildi sa kay gerry boy bayot espina?
Gihagit namo si Gerruy Espina Sr., Yes! and lagas na Espina nga maoy moatbang sa kay Mano Charlie Chong. Para makita niya kung unsaon siya pagsagpa sa mga Biliranon.
Walay challenge kung si Gerry Boy Bayot Espina ang mobangga kay Mano Charlie Chong. Sayon ra kaayo pildihon ang kampo ni Gerry Boy Bayot Espina. Bisan karon naglibog na ang kampo Espina ng gingalanan na og ABANDONSHIP ESPINA CAMP kung sila kinsa gyud ang mga loyal supporters ni gerry boy bayot espina.
Asa naman ang mga hambug na batos batos ni gerry boy bayot espina? Asa naman ang asawa ni miss noreen jamin nga si charlie? Unsa man ni ang amo nasagap na balita nga niapil daw og mga kontrata ang kanang si charlie iro ni gerry boy bayot espina sa munisipyo sa naval. pagbantay kamo diha sa naval.
Ang kapitolyo sa biliran puno og mga loyal na supporters sa mga espina. labi na diha sa sangguniang panlalawigan. Diha sa SP, walay mga boot ang mga board members, mo-approved dayon og prolend bisan nakabalo sila nga dili maayo mangutang ang probinsiya.
Sunod sa utos lang ang mga ulipon na mga board members. kron eleksyon, ingnan gani sila ni gov.roger utang espina na mokaon og tae, tanan sila mokaon sad og tae,hihihi..
mga provincial board members sa province of biliran mga walay boot! mas maayo pa ang mga iro kay kabalo mopili og agawon nga ilang bantayan.

President:
Are you President for what?
I think you are the President of people who motive is to destryo the credibility of GC who is working for the people.
Do you have any credibility to accuse him of such statements you posted in here? Or it is just a product of your crooked and twisted mind?
Tell that to the marines and try yuor best to be the President of Philippine Marina. that agency needs your onse sided PR so that it will be able get away with the prblems it is facing at the moment.
Address you blog to your tribe because you do not deserve to be listen to…
We do not need your malicious advice…. PUYO DIHA…

PRESIDENT
I WILL UNVEIL IN DUE TIME WHAT MY VISION FOR BILIRAN IS AND WHAT WE INTEND TO DO OVER THE NEXT 3 YEARS IF THE PEOPLE OF BILIRAN WILL TRUST ME.
I FOUGHT AGAINST THE ESPINAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE GONE BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO OUR PEOPLE. NOW, ANOTHER ESPINA IS SET TO CAPTURE THE CAPITOL. I WILL USE EVERY FAIR MEANS AVAILABLE TO ME TO PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING THESE POSTS.
IMAGINE, GERRY BOY MAHIMONG GOBERNADOR? USA RA AKONG ISSUE NIYA. ASA ANG IMONG 70 MILLION PER YEAR NGA PDAF FOR 3 YEARS OR 210 MILLION SA IMONG TERM GERRY BOY? IMAGINE, NAHANAW GANI ANG 70 MILLION PER YEAR OR 210 MILLION FOR 3 YEARS AS CONGRESSMAN… KARON ATONG SIYANG IBUTANG SA CAPITOL WITH 275 MILLION PER YEAR IN I.R.A. OR 775 MILLION FOR 3 YEARS?
WA GANI AGI ANG 210 MILLION, KARON ATONG IHATAG NIYA IN A SILVER PLATTER AND 775 MILLION AS GOVERNOR? 775 MILLION IS A LOT OF MONEY. IF I WILL BE TRUSTED BY THE PEOPLE, IT WILL REACH THEM AND THEY WILL FEEL IT. I WILL FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF BILIRAN WITH ALL FAIR MEANS AVAILABLE TO ME.
FIELDING MY DAD TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR AGAINST GERRY BOY ESPINA IS A FAIR MEANS TO PREVENT HIM ARON IWALDAS NA PUD ANG 775 MILLION FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS.
AND PRESIDENT, 2 RA MI… DILI BA NIMO IKAULAW PAGLABAY UG AKUSASYON NAKO FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR AMO NGA 6 SILANG TANAN MANAGAN APIL ANG ANAK SA GAWAS?
6 SILANG TANAN MANAGAN ARON MAGHARI SA BILIRAN! THAT’S THE VERY ESSENCE OF A DYNASTY! THAT’S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL!

I GET THE POINT OF GLEN CHONG.
MAS MAAYO NA LANG PUD NGA SI CHARLIE CHONG ANG IKONTRA KAY GERRY BOY PARA GYUD SIGURADO NGA DILI NA SAD WALDASON NI GERRY “BOY?”
SA PANAHON SAD NGA MAYOR SI GERRY BOY SA NAVAL, DAKO KAAYO ANG DEFICIT SA MUNISIPYO PAGGAWAS NIYA.
MAAYO NA LANG KAY GISALO SA IYANG AMAHAN GERRY SR. ANG DEFICIT OG GITABUNAN KINI PINAAGI SA PAGPADAKO SA MGA BAYRANAN.
KUNG SI ROGER YU OR RUBEN ALMADRO OR CHARLIE CHAN ANG PADAGANON SA PAGKA-GOBERNADOR, MURA LANG OG DEFAULT ENTRY. MEAN TO SAY, DAUG NA DAAN SI GERRY BOY.
I AM ALSO NOT FAVOR WITH POLITICAL DYNASTY, AS WHAT I HAV SAID IN MY PREVIOUS BLOGS TO ANOTHER TOPIC, PERO SA DIHANG AKO NA-HUNAHUNA, LISOD MAN PUD KUNG DILI SI CHARLIE CHONG ANG HIMUON NA KANDIDATO. MAS LIG-ON NA KANDIDATO SI CHAR;LIE CHONG VERSUS GERRY BOY. SAMOT NA NGA WALAY CHANCE SI RAFFY “BAGONG.SIBOL SALAZAR”
SAKTO ANG POST #.7 NI REP GLENN CHONG.
HINAUT LANG UNTA NGA ADUNAY SOLUSYON SI GLENN CHONG SA MGA SUBSSTNADARD NA PROJECTS.
HINAUT UNTA NAAY LONG-TERM AND EFFECTIVE NA SOLUTION SI GLEN CHONG SA MGA ANOMALOUS PUBLIC FUNDED GOVERNMENT PROJECTS.
