Boholano
movie actor turned politician Cesar Montano topped the senatoriables
in Bohol's 47 municipalities at the close of canvassing last
Thursday.
The
much-talked about 12-0 campaign for administration's Team
Unity never materialized as four bets of the Genuine Opposition
(GO) and Independent bet Kiko Pangilinan entered the Magic
12.
However,
the 12-0 came true in five municipalities which delivered
victory for the 12 Team Unity senatoriables, namely, Getafe,
Danao, Dagohoy, Buenavista and Vaslencia.
Seven TU senatoriables joined Montano in the Magic 12.
Montano
scored 369,807 followed far second by Prospero Pichay with
254,764. Came in 3rd is Angara who garnered 238,401; and Zubiri
and Arroyo polled 214,146 and 203,233, respectively.
The
Boholano electorate gave former Senator Loren Legarda of GO,
who was consistently number one in the various surveys, a
total of 201,214 placing her at sixth slot. She is followed
by TU's Ralph Recto with 198,845; GO's Manuel Villar, Jr,
196,355; and another TU Michael Defensor, 190,919; and independent
Francis Pangilinan, 184,261 at 10th place.

GO's Sonia Malazarte Roco, as a Boholana, was not as
lucky as Montano for she is at number 14 with 154,679
votes. Zambales governor Vicente Magsaysay was ahead
of Roco at 13th with 157,431 votes.
