This question was the banner headline of the Bohol Chronicle March 14, 2007 issue. The same question raised a lot of speculations. Indeed, the election fever is caught by a lot of people here and abroad.
I have heard comments over the radio that Cesar Montano has filed his transfer of voters registration only last May 2006 from Metro Manila to Baclayon, Bohol. So, therefore, he is indeed a voter in Bohol. And this development added fuel to the 'possibility' that our fellow Boholano actor would run for governor against the incumbent Gov. Erico B. Aumentado, instead of running for senator.
An angle came out of this question. Some say that should Montano indeed run for governor, it wouldn't be an easy way for the veteran governor Aumentado to the winning stand.
Others say that senior provincial board Atty. Dionisio Balite, who wasn't taken as a party candidate (of Aumentado) for congressman of the 3rd district of Bohol will line-up with Montano, who might also get incumbent vice governor Julius Herrera to be his runningmate.
There are only two answers to this question though. Yes or No.
The answer came this morning when I heard over the radion that Montano held a press conference yesterday in Quezon City that he is not backing out from his senatorial bid despite of a few hitches with his party. Therefore, the answer would be NO. Cesar Montano is not running for governor of Bohol.
But, the deadline for filing of candidacy for the local arena is still days away. He may still change his mind.
