Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (Neg. Occ., 3 rd District) yesterday said Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. will be one of those he will consult for whatever plans he may have for 2019.
“He will be my guiding light”, he said.
Benitez was reacting to the statement of Marañon that he will support the solon for whatever post he runs for in the 2019 polls, especially for senator.
“I will consult him (the governor) and listen to whatever he advises,” Benitez said.
Benitez said he was asked by House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez to run for the Senate in 2019 and that is something that you cannot just brush aside.
But he said he has yet to make a decision on what to do in 2019.
Marañon said if Benitez runs for the Senate he believes Negros will unite behind him because he is hard-working, bright, and has a lot of connections.
“If he (Benitez) is a senator, he can do a lot for the improvement of Negros.It's been a long time since Negros had a senator, the last timewas about 30 years ago,” the governor added.*CPG
