Silvestre “Bebot” Bello III Tuesday expressed dismay over the defection of 22 mayors and Bukidnon Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri from the administration party to the Nacionalista Party. Bello, Lakas-Kampi-CMD senatorial candidate, said it will likely not affect the chances of victory of their presidential bet Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. in the May 10 elections.

In a statement, Bello said he was saddened by the decision of the governor and 22 mayors who reportedly abandoned the Lakas-Kampi-CMD to support the camp of Nacionalista Party presidential bet Manuel “Manny” Villar.

“Anybody loyal to the Lakas party can call it a good riddance but we respect their decision,” said Bello.
