Codilla family won’t file counter-charges vs opponents

ORMOC CITY – Mayor Eric Codilla yesterday said that the Codilla family has no plans of filing counter-charges against the people who filed charges against his father, 4th District of Leyte Rep. Eufrocino Codilla who was convicted of graft by the Sandiganbayan last week.

Codilla, during the taping of his weekly television show “The Local Executive,” said they don’t want to engage in the game plan of the opposition who filed numerous charges against his father to avoid a head-on collision with his candidacy thereby giving the opposition smooth sailing in their political gimmicks.

He said that their family would fight politics in elections and not file charges against them so that they cannot run. “We don’t want to win in basketball by default!” – Roberto Dejon
