BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – Negros Occidental Gov Alfredo Marañon looked close to securing a new term with a strong lead over Vice Gov Genaro Alvarez Jr., backed by business tycoon and sugar baron Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco.
According to the unofficial, provisional count at 2:04 pm, Marañon had obtained 416,834 votes compared to Alvarez’s 286,505.
