Administration gubernatorial aspirant Gerry Salapuddin has named his running partymates for congressional and vice gubernatorial race under the banner of local Kampi-Lakas Christian Muslim Democrats coalition party in Basilan for the May 2007 elections.
In an interview, Salapuddin said Jim Hataman Salliman, former mayor of Sumisip and brother of Anak Mindanao (AMIN) Party List Rep. Mujiv Hataman, will run for congress while Majang Linggisan, Basilan’s ABC provincial president and Kampi provincial chairman, for vice governor.
“The inclusion of Salliman and Linggisan was a decision made upon consultations with all supporters and team partners in the province,” Salapuddin said when asked what prompted him to choose the two as partymates.
Salapuddin who is serving his final and last term as member of the House of Representatives, also filled in re-electionists Lamitan Mayor Orig Furigay and Isabela City Mayor Rody Tan with the local Kampi-Lakas coalition party in Basilan.
The House deputy speaker for Mindanao said his team, which is fielded with credible and qualified candidates, would push President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s platform of government.
President Arroyo vowed to fight for changes in the system that would lead to economic and political stability including constitutional reform leading to a change in the country’s form of government.
“We would implement ‘doable’ socioeconomic reforms and give priorities to delivery of basic services, agriculture, health, education, environment and a program to contain the proliferation of illegal firearms and private armies in Basilan,” Salapuddin said. (HG)
