Davao del Norte 2^nd District Anton F. Lagdameo, Jr. expresses his desire for a peaceful election as the election period for the May 13, 2013 National, Local and ARMM Regional Election started this January 13, 2013 and will end on June 12, 2013. 

In a prepared press release provided by his office, Lagdameo said that “I personally enjoin all our candidates especially in Davao del Norte to lead a fine example to all our neighboring provinces especially here in Mindanao and the entire country that election can be done peacefully devoid of coercion, mud-slinging, vote buying and other illegal practices.”

He added that “It is important that we abide by the rules set by the Commission on Elections and the enforcement of the Philippine National Police and the military for us to arrive at a fair and violent-free election.”

Davao del Norte Election Supervisor Atty. Gay Asuncion-Enumerables earlier announced that based on resolutions from the Comelec National Office, there will be a total gun ban for all candidates and private gun owners. Only regular members of the Philippine National Police, the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other law enforcement agencies of the government who are duly deputized in writing by the Commission for election duty may be authorized to carry and possess firearms during the election period.

Davao del Norte has so far been one of the most orderly and peaceful area during elections.

When asked what his strategy is in the coming political debacle, he said that “perhaps the most hardworking, qualified and sincere candidate would win the election. We just have to double our effort in campaigning since as incumbent officials, we were already given ample time to show our competence, sincerity and efficiency as public servants when we assume our respective posts for 3 years. The myriad projects and programs that I was able to successfully implement for my people in the district thru my Barangayanihan Programs will speak for itself .In the end, It will be up to our people and the Lord Almighty to choose who’s best.”

Cong. Lagdameo is gunning for his 3^rd and last term of tenure as Lower House Representative of the 2^nd District of Davao del Norte.

Lagdameo, a scion of the influential Floirendo-Del Rosario Family, is a high ranking member of the National Unity Party in Mindanao and currently also, is the Provincial Chairman of Kusog Baryohanon, a duly registered local political party in Davao del Norte.
