DAVAO CITY – Amid the exodus of several Lakas-Kampi-CMD members to the Nacionalista Party of Senator Manny Villar, the Dimaporos of Lanao del Norte is sticking by the side of administration bet Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro.

As the local campaign started last week, the Dimaporos also started its campaign for Teodoro.

During barangay sorties in the towns of Linamon, Matungao, Balo-I and Tagoloan, Gov. Khalid Dimaporo has been actively campaigning for Teodoro to become the next president of the country.

“What I want is a president that we can depend on and will help us in our time of need. And Gibo has proven to be that kind of a leader especially when we need help the most last August 2008,” said Gov. Dimaporo in a statement.

Rep. Abdullah Dimaporo of the 2nd District of Lanao del Norte also cited several reasons why the victory of Teodoro will prove beneficial to the province and the people of Lanao del Norte. “I am convinced that Gibo should be the next president because of all the presidential candidates, he is the only one who visited our province even before when he was not yet a candidate,” he said.

With many more weeks left in the campaign period, the Dimaporos are convinced that the Lakas-Kampi candidate is the better option among the presidentiables and are determined to campaign for a landslide victory for Teodoro in Lanao del Norte.
