Secretary Cuenco is known to be a good politician in the Philippines. So that when he will be convinced by his admirers to launch his candi dacy for governorship, it is believed that he will be forced to leave the high position he is holding and give way to the prayer of his hencemen. And due to the inducement of the Cuentista® in Cebu, there is probability that he will throw his hat to the political ring and seek elec tion for gubernatorial chair. When the new® will be come true that Secretary Cuen co is launching hi® candidacy for governorship, the pro faction in Cebu will be obliged to have Governor Sotero Ca’bahug to run for reelection because the pros know that Secretary Cuenco is the strongest candidate in the anti side and the incumbent go vernor is the timber to chal lenge the biggest politician in Cebu.

Due to the strong rivalry between the Cuenco faction and Cabahug’®, the political barometer in Cebu ha® be come an unfathomable enigma. Every faction expect® it® victory in «the gubernatorial race in this province. And as such each one of them strengthens the po 1 i tica 1 trench ready for next fight which will be the greatest political battle that Cebu will be able to witness if the news of the Cuenco-Cabahug political struggle be realized.
