Armed men visited and told the barangay chiefs of Tagustusan and Sto. Niño to campaign against the election of Gov. Arthur Yap, Cong. Edgar Chatto, Balilihan mayor Pureza Veloso-Chatto and daughter Atty. Trisha Chatto who is running for Balilihan vice mayor. The governor and the Chattos are stalwarts of Pundok Padayon Bol-anon.
This was the revelation of Atty. Trisha Chatto in a post on May 4, 2022.
Atty. Chatto said the armed men aired their threats and told the village chiefs to allegedly campaign for the election of mayoralty candidate and current Vice Mayor Adonis Roy Olalo and gubernatorial bet and 2nd district Cong. Aris Aumentado, instead. The armed men said those who refuses to comply with their demand will be taken down.
“Gabii, giadto ang mga kapitan sa Tagustusan ug Sto. Niño ug armadong lalaki. Gibundakan sila ug armas ug giingnan nga dili pabotaran si Gov. Art Yap, Cong. Chatto, Mayor Pureza ug Trisha. Pabotaran hinuon si Olalo ug Aumentado. Ang dili musunod, patumbahon,”Atty. Trisha said in her post.
However, there are rumors surfacing that it was the Pundok Padayon Bol-anon which was behind the threats of armed men in an effort to discredit the opposition, Atty. Trisha mentioned in her post.
“Unya karon gibali ang storya nga tinuyuan kuno sa atong pundok aron mamaot ang ilang grupo,” the young lawyer said.
She said that Padayon Bol-anon is not desparate unlike other parties.
“Wa mo nalisang? Dili desperado ang Padayon Bol-anon. Kinsa ang kalingaw tig-storya nga katapusan na ni nilang hunat ug dili na muutro kung mapildi. Unya kami pa hinuon ang pagawson nga desperado?” the lady lawyer mentioned in the post.
She then chided the oppisition for turning the tables at Padayon Bol-anon.
“Ayaw mo pamahid sa inyong binuhatan. Dili na kinaiya sa Balilinhon,” Atty. Trisha posted on Facebook.
“Sukad masukad, bisag asa sa tibuok Bohol wala mugamit ug mga armadong tao ang mga Chatto sa bisag kanus-ang eleksyon. Karon pa hinuon?” she explained.
She characterized that the threats are an affront to freedom.
“Dili nato tugotan nga mahimong malampuson kining mga tawhana og ang mga nagpaluyo nila. Di ni mada ug binuang kay kaluwasan sa mga Balilinhon ug atong kaugmaon ang gihisgutan,” she aired in her post.
She then urged the people of Balilihan to resist the schemes of nefarious characters.
“Mga kaigsoonan kong Balilinhon, padayon ta sa pag-ampo ug pagdepensa sa mahal natong lungsod,” she concluded.
