Father-son rift makes elder Villafuerte endorse Arroyo

Outgoing Governor LRay Villafuerte is pitted against his father's endorsement, re-electionist Dato Arroyo

Family Feud has became literal in Camarines Sur.

Outgoing 3rd District Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Villafuerte is running for Governor, but he would not be supporting his son, LRay who would be running as Representative for the 2nd District of Camarines Sur. Instead, the elder Villafuerte endorses LRay's opponent, CGMA's son, re-electionist Dato Arroyo.

The elder Villafuerte and Governor LRay had been estranged with each other since 2007. He also opposed the proposed split of Camarines Sur which has been filed by Rep. Villafuerte, Rep. Andaya and Deputy Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella which would have divided Camarines Sur to 2 provinces.

The elder Villafuerte would be pitted with his grandson, Miguel (son of current Governor LRay).

If you can recall the feud of Jamby and Cynthia Villar's husband Senator Manny Villar regarding the C5 road extension project, it is hard to imagine that they are just in one coalition after 3 years.
