Umayaw na si Connie Dy sa politika sa Pasay

NABALITAAN natin na ayaw nang ipagpatuloy ni ex- Pasay City councilor, ex-congresswo-man Consuelo “Connie” Dy ang kanyang political career sa makasaysayang lungsod ng Pasay.

Iyan ay ayon sa ating mga sources na da-ting nasa kampo ni Dy.

Isa raw sa naging dahilan ni Madame Connie para iwanan na ang politika sa Pasay ay kalusugan o health reason.

Kung ako ang tatanungin, wise decision ang naging hakbang ni Ginang Dy. Kung itutuloy nga naman niya ang kanyang pagkandidatong ma-yor sa 2016 national at local election, malamang mauubos ang kanyang natitirang kayamanan. Tutukain at kakahigin ng mga mapagsamantalang lider-p0litika sa Pasay. Tutal naranasan na rin naman niya na matalo nang dalawang beses sa nakaraang election sa Pasay.

Dahil nagbigay na nang hudyat ang dating aspiring mayor sa Pasay, saan na kayang political party sasakay sina Vice Marlon Pesebre, Konsehal Allan Panaligan at Bong Tolentino?

Bukod sa Calixto Team, hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay wala pa ring ibang political team na nakabubuo ng tiket o partido sa Pasay. Malapit na ang Oktubre.

Kung si Dr. Lito Roxas naman ang aasahan ng mga opposition sa Pasay, ‘e undecided naman ang dating congressman na labanan ang napakalakas na political machineries ng Calixto Team. Hindi niya kayang sagupain si Tony. Naranasan na rin kasi niya ang matalo sa pagka-congressman.

In other words, iisa lang ang pagpipiliang iboto sa Pasay sa darating na 2016 elections. Ang sabi nga natin, incumbent Pasay City Mayor Tony Calixto will retain the title in 2016 in Pasay. Kaya kita-kita na. Unopposed mayoralty candidate si Calixto Sa Pasay at ang kanyang utol na si Congresswoman Emi Calixto sa 2016.

Sa political history ng Pasay, sa panahon lamang ng Calixto Team ito nangyari. Tama po ba ako Kuya Ding Santos?
