SAN LUIS - Local candidates running to different positions had doubled their campaign efforts to reach out voters with only 21 days remaining before May 13 elections. 

These candidates particularly in 4th district  municipalities are currently rushing their campaign as they solicit the support of the local folks in various village.

"Kanya kanya sila sila gimmick. Pagandahan ng campaign jingle at padamihan ng posters sa pader. Ang siste pa lahat sila maka-Dios, makatao at makamahirap. At sigurado ko lahat ngayon ay kinakabahan sa dami rin ng kanilang ginastos sa kanilang kandidatura," Greg Basa, a resident here said. 

Basa noted that candidates are engaging to a lot of campaign promises thinking that the people would favor  them during elections if they will such thing.

"Akala nila nila basta na lang hindi nag-iisip kaming mga botante at basta na lamang maniniwala sa kanila," he stated. 

In Candaba town, four mayoralty wannabes are campaigning on a house to house basis on  at least two barangays a day with their respective show boat going over the localities in this town. 

This  includes Patrick Gerald Pelayo, Rene Maglanque, Danilo Baylon and Reynaldo Sagum. All are hoping to be elected as mayor replacing out going Mayor  Jerry Pelayo who is now eyeing the congressional seat in the 4th district. 

In Sto. Tomas town, incumbent Mayor Lito Naguit  is now facing former Mayor Romeo Ronquillo who earlier vowed  to unseat the former by preventing him getting his 3rd and last term.

San Simon Mayor Leonora Capule-Wong was again challenged by Manuel Bondoc whom she defeated last 2010 elections with narrow votes.

Meanwhile, running unopposed were Apalit Mayor Jun Tetangco and Macabebe Mayor Annette Flores-Balgan.
