Villafuerte headed for landslide win in Camarines Sur
Published May 18th, 2007NAGA CITY — Reelectionist Congresman Luis R. Villafuerte has piled up an insurmountable lead of more than 36,000 votes over his lone opponent in the second district of Camarines Sur, and is headed to a landslide victory.
It was expected that the untallied votes from the remaining voting precincts would further widened Villafuerte’s lead over his rival.
Villafuerte garnered 90,830 votes, while his opponent chalkeed up 54,891 votes.
Congressman Villafuerte, who is Kampi national president, won in all nine towns in the second district and polled the biggest winning margin ever in the congressional race in the district. His lead is four times his margin over the same opponent in 2004.
The second district of Camarines Sur covers the capital town of Pili, Calabanga, Bombon, Camaligan, Canaman, Gainza, Magarao, Milaor, Ocampo, and Naga City.
In three other congressional districts in Camarines Sur, presidential son Dato Arroyo (KampiI) won by a wide margin over his opponent in the first district.
Rep. Felix Alfelor Jr. (Kampi) was reelected in the fourth district, while Congressman Arnulfo Fuentebella (NPC) also won in the third district.
Second district Kampi mayors who also won with Villafuerte were Alex San Luis (Pili), Roger Flores (Milaor), Emmanuel Requejo (Canaman), Leo Nilo Sarte (Ocampo), Evelyn Yu (Calabanga), Nelson Julia (Magarao), and Ma. Luisa Angeles (Bombon).
