Bikol Initiative
It is quite an irony that since the people power uprising that toppled President Ferdinand Marcos and promised a rebirth in Philippine politics in 1986, a handful of families have made themselves more and more entrenched in the politics of Camarines Sur. Ask any local, and they can easily tell you their names. Prior to the addition of a fifth district in 2010, The Andayas held sway in the first district, the Rocos and Robredos in the second district, the Fuentebellas were kings in the third district and the Alfelors had the fourthdistrict. The Villafuertes alternately controlled the second district as well as the gubernatorial seat.
Five districts of Camarines Sur
When an additional district was added to the province, political dynasties adjusted to accommodate the new turf created especially for Diosdado “Dado” Arroyo in 2008. Dado is the son of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (PGMA).

The recently concluded elections brought a double whammy to the Alfelor Clan, one of the major political forces in Camarines Sur. Felix “Nancing” Alfelor, Jr., lost his bid for provincial governor while his brother, and Emmanuel “Manny” Alfelor Sr., failed to catch the congressional seat by a very narrow margin. Hence the question: Where did the clan go wrong?
When Luis Villafuerte bolted from Palaka (Partido Lakas-Kampi) last year, a single whammy for the Alfelors was already written, at the least, on the sand. It should be noted that in 2007, the political stalwarts of the province — Alfelor, Andaya, and Villafuerte — formed a grand alliance similar to the “Alyansa kan Apat na Aguila” during the Marcos period. The 2007 alliance was intended to catapult the candidacy of Datu Arroyo and at the same time minimize election costs by not engaging in a political derby. The alliance was expected to go beyond the midterm elections that in 2008, political arrangements were already ironed out. However, when the Villafuertes expressed intent to join the Nationalist People’s Coalition and Partido Nacionalista of Villar, the well pressed political cloth got torned. Logically, this means the Villafuertes will be banging their heads aga
