Will Speaker Jose de Venecia survive his political battle next year against another Big Brother in Pangasinan’s fourth district?
This is the most asked question in Pangasinan now as Dagupan City Mayor Benjamin Lim continues to position himself as De Venecia’s opponent in the congressional race next year.
Lim, himself a fourth district congressman from 1998 to 2001, has called himself as “your Big Brother” in a radio plug for this year’s Bangus Festival. De Venecia was also identified as Big Brother to his five Left-leaning “housemates” by allowing them to take refuge at the Speaker’s Office at the House of Representatives building to avoid arrest.
