Oh boy, here's a juicy one - a local candidate named Maria found herself in a pickle during the election campaign slated for May 12, 2025, in Sitio Balbuena, Barangay Inayawan, Cebu City. The drama unfolded around 10:00 AM on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.
Word on the street had it that Maria had put her name on the list for P600, a common sum believed to be offered by candidates in exchange for votes. However, Maria was left hanging and snubbed, with rumors swirling that her rival, alias Susan - a married woman leading a rebel group of candidates - orchestrated her removal from the list.
Feeling betrayed, Maria complained publicly, alleging that her exclusion was because she wouldn't play ball with the shady power player. But folks around Inayawan weren't surprised, as they'd heard whispers of some skullduggery brewing.
Between the lines of gossip and scandalous whispers, some claimed that a brawl was on the cards. However, the quick-witted tanods of Barangay Inayawan were on the case, putting a swift end to any potential chaos.
Cesar Bas, the BPSO desk officer, confirmed that the altercation was indeed a rough one, with several tanods intervening. A local resident even claimed that a fight broke out because some candidates were refusing to dish out their promised cash.
In the ensuing weeks, it appeared that this unscrupulous tactic had evolved - the initial P100 was now being magnified to P600. But when asked about this, other political leaders denied any knowledge of the daylight bribery. So, like many things in politics, it remains to be seen if the veil will lift anytime soon.
- The rumor circulating in Barangay Inayawan, Cebu City, suggests that Maria's rival, Susan, orchestrated her removal from the vote-buying list, offering P600 instead.
- In the general news, there is talk of a potential escalation between the candidates, with some claiming that a brawl may occur due to financial discrepancies in the Barangay Inayawan elections of May 12, 2025.
- Gossip persists within the community that some candidates are reluctant to release the increased amount of P600, formerly P100, being offered in exchange for votes for the upcoming election.
- Despite the numerous whispers and scandals surrounding the politics of Barangay Inayawan, no clear evidence of daylight bribery has emerged, leaving much of the occurrences shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
