Carmelo \u201cTarzan\u201d Lazatin will not seek re-election and instead run for mayor in 2013, challenging the incumbent mayor whom he helped win by one of the largest margins in this city\u2019s political history.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview on Tuesday, Lazatin said he feared \u201cdouble cross\u201d so he decided to run against Mayor Edgardo \u201cEd\u201d Pamintuan. <\/p>\n<p>He and Pamintuan combined forces in 2010, helping the latter to beat then incumbent Mayor Francis \u201cBlueboy\u201d Nepomuceno by some 24,000 votes. <\/p>\n<p>Lazatin, on the other hand, trounced his closest rival former Angeles City Councilor Ares Yabut by at least 120,000 votes. <\/p>\n<p>The two-term congressman alleged that Pamintuan had \u201cmade early moves going to the direction of junking\u201d him in favour of Pampanga Vice Gov. Joseller \u201cYeng\u201dGuiao. The three-term vice governor earlier announced his plans to run for congressman. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, Pamintuan and his allies will junk me and I don\u2019t what that to happen,\u201d said Lazatin. He stressed that he had verified \u201cnot just twice but many times\u201d Pamintuan\u2019s  alleged \u201chidden support\u201d to Guiao. <\/p>\n<p>Lazatin lamented that Pamintuan had stopped mentioning him and his projects as congressman in the mayor\u2019s recent public speeches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistory repeats itself,\u201d said Lazatin, referring to an incident in 1995 when then re-electionist Mayor Pamintuan allegedly abandoned him and supported his rivals for congressman, including the late Mabalacat Mayor Catalino Domingo. Lzatin and Pamintuan both won then.  <\/p>\n<p>URGED BY TRADERS<\/p>\n<p>Lazatin disclosed that businessmen in this city have been urging  him to run for mayor because they are comfortable with him as top local chief executive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy policy of not asking, demanding or extorting from businesses when I was mayor is not just a press release but in deeds and actions unlike others,\u201d said Lazatin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to make Angeles City prosperous again by simply making businesses thrive and make them comfortable,\u201d added Lazatin. <\/p>\n<p>NO VICE MAYOR<\/p>\n<p>Lazatin said he will not take \u201cany vice mayor\u201d in his line-up but will include at least three councilors. <\/p>\n<p>He said he \u201cwill welcome all support,\u201d including from those planning to run for vice mayor as independent candidates. Those who are reportedly planning to run for vice mayor are CouncilorsAlfieBonifacio and Jesus \u201cJay\u201d Sangil and Balibago Barangay Captain Rodelio \u201cTony\u201d Mamac. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have invited to join Mamac but as a councilor,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>ONE TERM ONLY<\/p>\n<p>Lazatin said he had checked on the sincerity of Pamintuan who vowed to sit as mayor only for one term before the elections last 2010. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told Vice Mayor Vicky (Vega-Cabigting) to ask Pamintuan if he will not seek re-election in 2013 as promised. <\/p>\n<p>I offered my post (as congressman) so that Pamintuan can take it and for Vicky tol run for mayor next year,\u201d said Lazatin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy fears were confirmed. Pamintuan is not sincere, as he told the vice mayor he would seek a second term as mayor,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Punto Central Luzon called up Tuesday morning the City Information Office (CIO) for the reactions of Pamintuan.<\/p>\n<p>The CIO said they have no statements to issue, as yet.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/punto.com.ph\/News\/Article\/14670\/Volume-6-No-12\/Headlines\/Tarzan-fears-double-cross-decides-to-run-for-mayor<\/p>\n<p>Some of the good resorts in Pampanga offer clean and safe outdoor facilities for Manila families to bring their children along for a nice picnic ideal as a form of family bonding.
