Emano boy holds on to Lakas, forces issue

Gov. Oscar Moreno and former vice governor Julio Uy exchange pleasantries during their first public appearance together in Alubijid, Misamis Oriental. Uy would likely be fielded as Lakas-Kampi’s congressional candidate in the 2nd District against Rep. Yevgeny Vincente Emano.
A THREATENED Misamis Oriental Rep. Yevgeny Vincente Emano has lashed out at Gov. Oscar Moreno over moves to drop him from a list of administration candidates in the province.
Two Uys are threatening to topple down the Emano political dynasty in Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro. The congressman is facing the prospects of fighting former vice governor Julio Uy to keep his seat in the 2nd District of Misamis Oriental while his father, Cagayan de Oro Vice Mayor Vicente Emano, may find himself slugging it out with Rep. Rolando Uy in next year’s mayoral race. Rep. Uy was virtually a political nobody until 2007 when he surprisingly won the congressional seat in the city’s 1st District.
The two Uys share something in common: both spent years as loyal supporters of the elder Emano and therefore, they know the ‘‘style’’ of the reputed local political kingpin.
The younger Emano and Moreno were political allies and basketball buddies. For a time, they avoided clashing with each other despite repeated criticisms hurled on air by the elder Emano, a former governor and city mayor, against the capitol. Subsequently, Moreno stopped holding his punches after the vice mayor announced he would field a set of candidates against the governor and his
group in next year’s elections.
Rep. Emano has cried ‘‘political harassment’’ over moves to have his name expunged from the Lakas-Kampi-CMD’s list of candidates in Misamis Oriental.
He said he would question and oppose moves to have him replaced by former vice governor Uy, and invoke the administration party’s equity-of-the-incumbent rule.
The congressman’s father, incidentally, has declared his support for the bid of ex-president Joseph Estrada to reclaim Malacañang. Ironically, the younger Emano has claimed to be a supporter of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, the administration party’s standard bearer for next year’s elections.
While his father is for Estrada, he claimed he was given the freedom to choose a presidential to support in 2010.
Aside from the equity-incumbent rule, the younger Emano also argued that the Lakas- Kampi’s candidates should undergo the process of nomination.
“Dili siya (Moreno) ang magbuot. Sigurista kini siya nga tawo,” Rep. Emano told radio station DxCC.
He said he would bring his case to the administration party’s grievance committee even as he accused his former political allies of misleading the public and other local officials by claiming that he was already dropped him from the list of candidates of Lakas-Kampi.
“Gabuot-buot kini sila og ila aron sila ang masunod,” he said.
He also alleged that Moreno has forged an agreement to support the presidential bid of Sen. Benigno Aquino III of the Liberal Party. The congressman said Moreno and LP leaders, including Aquino, met in the city recently.
“Duha man iyang nawong. Sabot sila ni Teodoro then sabot sab sila Noynoy. Which is which karon?” the congressman said.
Emano also claimed that some members of Moreno’s group have started negotiations with the group of another ‘‘presidentiable’’, Sen. Manuel Villar of the Nacionalista Party.
The congressman said he would hold on to his position in the administration party because President Arroyo has supported him in his projects and because her sons are his close friends.
“Maulaw ako kung mibiya ako kaniya. Amigo ko sila si Dato og Mickey Arroyo,” said Emano.
