Nestor and Pam, demolishing dynasties

Like Don Quijote de la Mancha and Sancho Panza, demolishing the windmills of trapos and political dynasties, Nestor Archival, straight from the mountains, has conquered the city, and Pam, all the way from the marginal edges of Pinamungajan, marched her way to the Capitol, without shining armor and demolished the dragon lady and claimed victory as the peoples’ governor.

Indeed, one of the collateral gains in Cebu in the last election was the common rejection by Cebu Province and Cebu City of the political dynasty of the Garcias in the province and the Ramas and Garcias in Cebu City. It was historic, trailblazing, and stunning to say the least. No political pundit expected it. Not even Nestor and Pam themselves.

The monumental victory of Pamela Baricuatro as the twenty-seventh governor of the premier province of Cebu was, to a large extent, indeed, the victory of the people. It is so trailblazing and a historic milestone in the political history of this province. What matters most is that it was a rejection of the family dynasties of the Garcias.
