Breaking the jinx

Sto. Tomas Mayor Joselito “Lito” Naguit is hoping against hope to finally break the jinx of mayors seeking for a reelection or a third and final term in their town. Never before had the town a mayor who completed three straight terms. Many say this was so for the past few mayors who have tried but failed to win the mayoralty race three in a row.
For the longest time, mayors of Sto. Tomas had only a maximum of two terms then they got to be beaten by the town’s first councilor. In 2004, then incumbent mayor Romeo Ronquillo was challenged by then first councilor Lucas Arceo in the former’s re-election bid. Arceo eventually won in that election.
Arceo was able to finish his first term.
But, as fate would have it, Arceo was not destined to complete a three year term. In 2007, another first councilor in the person of Lito Naguit ran against the incumbent mayor. Arceo lost in that election and became another statistics in the storied jinx hounding the re-election bid of Sto. Tomas mayors.
Naguit may not have imagined he will be mayor immediately after serving as councilor. Like Arceo, he skipped the vice mayoral post and went on directly to capture the top-most political position in their town. And, what they did was not an easy feat–running against an incumbent mayor.
Three years after his success in wresting the mayorship, Naguit was re-elected mayor in 2010.
In the two elections that he ran for mayor, Naguit was teamed-up with Gloria “Ninang” Ronquillo, today’s vice mayor of Sto. Tomas.
Many thought that Naguit and Ninang would remain a team until this May 2013 election but they parted ways many months ago and they are bound to face head-on for the mayoral position.
Naguit believes the jinx has been finally broken. The factors that were present when Romeo Ronquillo and Lucas Arceo were defeated in their respective re-election bid are no longer the same this time–there is no first councilor running against the incumbent mayor.
Mark Louie Arceo, the first councilor and Lucas’ son, decided to join forces with Naguit and will run as vice mayor. This proves to be a back-to-back prize for Naguit–he lost an enemy and gained an ally.
Gloria Ronquillo would have thought better keeping Naguit as an ally. Had she supported Naguit’s final re-election, they would have easily beaten any opponent this coming May, even if this will be the Arceos. If it were so, then the mayorship will be served to Ninang Ronquillo on a silver platter by 2016.
By letting him forge an alliance with the Arceos, Naguit has gained a wider voters’ base. The supporters of father and son Lucas and Mark would not want anyone between the spouses Ninong and Ninang to win in the election and squander the chance of Mark to become mayor by 2016.
If Naguit and Mark Arceo will both win in May, they would have killed the political clout of the Ronquillos paving the way for the Arceo to remain the strongest bet for the mayorship in the 2016 polls. It was an easy deduction that will cost the Ronquillos much.
What transpired in the political landscape in their town lately should have caused Naguit’s confidence to grow bigger. He may have pulled off a potent antidote to expel the “curse” while his opponents seemed to have made one wrong decision after another.
For Naguit, another re-election may not be out of reach but this is not only due to the perceived jinx but because he knows for himself that he had served the people well during his two terms.
Even in the fairy tales, when potions do not work, the pure heart becomes enough to break a spell.
Let’s just find out whose happily ever after this story shall be.
