THE Liberal Party’s candidate for mayor in Talisay City said he wants “change” in the city.

Johny V. Delos Reyes, who described himself as an inventor and businessman filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) under the LP last Friday with about 300 supporters, mostly market vendors and tricycle drivers.

This is not the first time Delos Reyes is running for public office in the city.

“Maybe he thinks that he would excel on the election race with three options for vice mayor. No more backing up,” Villarante said.

He said the development would affect them but still they will just give them fair election fight.

Asked whether this is the strategy used of the administration,” Villarante stayed mum.
