When I was in Tandag, Surigao del Sur, in 1979-1980, as a US Peace Corps Volunteer, Governor Gregorio Murillo, Sr was the long time Governor of the Province and Mayor Mario Serro Ty was the longtime mayor and a very close crony of President Marcos. In late 1980 Governor Murillo was assassinated, temporarily at least replaced Lt. Governor Pimentel [allegedly killed by NPA communist guerrillas but more possibly by "political rivals.'] The Mayor later became a powerful National Assemblyman and his daughter replaced him as Mayor [similar to how he had replaced his mother, Adelle Serra Ty as mayor decades earlier].
Look at the list of candidates below, highlighted from http://balatucan.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/complete-list-of-provincial-candidates-surigao-del-sur/ and you will see the names of Murillo, Ty and Pimentel prominently displayed over 30 years later…. Notice how candidate for Governor PIMENTEL, JOHNNY TY JTP LKS-KAM “connects” Pimentel and Ty… and how the name Murillo is prominently displayed, too…. Then look at the attached 25 year old article from the Mindanao News Service of 1987-1988. It refers to the “Serra-Ty-Pimentel clan. …”
The more things change, the more the remain the same … in some parts of the world…

SURIGAO SUR (MMNS/August 31, 1987) — Four major opposition political parties here have joined hands in a bid to dismantle what they called the Serra-Ty-Pimentel political dynasty this coming local election.
The newly formed League of Surigaonons Against Dynasty (LUSAD) includes the Partido ng Bayan, Nacionalista Party-Grand Alliance for Democracy, PDP-Laban and two factions of the Liberal Party.
LUSAD enumerated members of the dynasty led by Congressman Mario Sierra-Ty, eldest sister Governor-designate Felicidad Ty-Pimentel; nephew Sangguniang Panglalawigan member Alexander Pimentel; cousin Emilio Serra Geli, sister-in-law Carmencita Ty-Montesclaros and nephew Franklin Ty, OIC-Mayor, vice mayor and councilman respectively of the capital town of Tandag and; distant relative Herminigildo Pimentel Jr., OIC-Mayor of Tago town.
LUSAD clarified that the tie-up is not only for the local polls but in preparation for all local exercises in this province until such time that the political meddling of the Sierra-Ty-Pimentel families is completely dismantled.
In a related development, the Anti-dynasty Movement (ANDAM) here bared in a 13-page report furnished MMNS that the Serra-Ty-Pimentel clan has cornered not only province’s politics but also government infrastructure projects. ANDAM claimed that immediate relatives and in-laws of the dynasty are �top contractors and suppliers for large government projects.
ANDAM said small-scale contractors and suppliers are given the projects in far-flung barangays.
LUSAD also announced that it will launch a province-wide signature campaign to support Sen. Teofisto Gungona’s bill banning political dynasties. (Media Mindanao News Service News Digest Volume 1, August 1987-July 1988 Posted by Davao Today)
