If Soco plays his cards well

Cebu Vice Governor Glenn Soco is at the crossroads of his political career. He can either push forward his chances to ascend higher in the political totem pole in 2028, or he can drop the ball and bungle his job as the number two executive in this population-rich and financially-strong premier province. The answer is in his own hands.

If Soco remains beholden to Gwen Garcia in the name of "utang kabubut-on" or "kaikog" then he will be bound to fall into the abyss of political limbo together with the former governor. The Cebuanos will punish him in the next elections if he becomes an obnoxious obstructionist, and destructive critic of the administration of Governor Pam Baricuatro. If Soco allows himself to be used by the former governor in order to throw monkey wrenches into all the Baricuatro initiatives, then, he better say goodbye to politics as early as now.
