If the streamers can speak for it, that confirms the tandem of Representatives Edgar Chatto of the first district and Roberto Cajes of the second district in the 2010 gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial race.

The streamers along the highway and those displayed in the barrios during fiesta celebrations indicate the tandem of the two congressmen.

In Montaña, streamers hanged on posts indicate Chatto for governor and Cajes for vice-governor.

The streamers were believed placed for exposure during the foundation day of Montaña on June 10 and its fiesta on June 13.

Chatto’s men were seen putting up the Cajes’ streamers in the first district barangays, while Cajes’ men were seen doing it for Chatto, in return, in the second district barangays.

Chatto’s choice of Cajes is aimed at neutralizing the vote-making capacity of Governor Erico Aumentado who is running for congressman in the second district and is expected to back the Herrera-Abapo tandem.

Meanwhile, Vice-Governor Julius Caesar Herrera and Provincial Administrator Tomas Abapo Jr. has intensified the distribution of seedlings as provincial aid to the barrios.

Last Wednesday, the team of Herrera and Abapo were in Sevilla, Albur and Baclayon to hand over the cash assistance of P10,000 to each of the barangays in the towns.
