ACTIONS speak louder than words. Those who have observed the reactions of Negros Occidental Vice Governor Eugenio Jose "Bong" Lacson when he was asked about the possibility of a unified provincial ticket in next year's midterm election were one in saying that the province's top legislator is absolutely agreeable to the proposal.
Why wouldn't he support it? If realized, his ascension as Capitol's chief executive will become almost certain.
The same observation could be said of former Congressman Jeffrey Ferrer's gestures when the question was thrown to him.
Aside from clarifying that the news claiming that he is eyeing the governorship did not come from him, Ferrer said the United Negros Alliance (UNegA) is open to exploratory talks with Love Negros on unification.
With both Ferrer and Lacson indicating their approval to the idea, the only factor that may either stall or pave the way for political unity to be "reborn" in the province is the final say of Third District Congressman Alfredo Abelardo "Albee" Benitez, who heads Love Negros. But why everyone has to wait for his decision?
