ANOTHER key member of the Garcia’s One Cebu party is switching allegiance to the Liberal Party –  Provincial Board Member Thadeo Ouano.

The decision was announced Friday night by LP gubernatorial bet Hilario “Jun-Jun” Davide III during the birthday party of Mandaue Mayor Jonas Cortes at the Amnezia nightclub at the reclamation area.

“My father and daughter Lollipop have long been urging me to join the Liberal  Party for the unity of Mandaue’s big clans and our own family,” said Ouano in Cebuano.

Ouano, a former Mandaue mayor, said Gov. Gwen Garcia who heads One Cebu was aware an announcement would be made and that he was confident she would “understand” his situation, since he told her beforehand of his family’s request.
