A lot, especially if it’s between Lipa City Mayor Vilma Santos and her brother-in-law Ricky Recto.

The two met the other day at the COMELEC where they both filed their certificates of candidacy, Vilma for governor of Batangas and Ricky for congressman of the same province.

Ralph Recto hinted here late Friday that his wife, Lipa City Mayor Vilma Santos, will most likely run for governor of Batangas after all.

This candidacy though would mean challenging the gubernatorial plans of her brother-in-law, Vice Gov. Ricky Recto.

Ralph Recto said yesterday he and his wife, Lipa City Mayor Vilma Santos, have agreed that she will give way to his brother, Batangas Vice Gov. Ricky Recto, in the gubernatorial race.

In an interview with newsmen in Lingayen, Pangasinan where he and other senatorial bets of Team Unity held a motorcade and rally yesterday, Recto said "if he (Ricky) really wants to run for governor, then Vilma will back out from the race."

However, Recto added, "I am sure he will lose."

Ralph Recto belied reports yesterday that his wife, veteran actress-turned-Lipa City Mayor Vilma Santos, will run against his brother, incumbent Batangas Vice Gov. Ricky Recto, in the gubernatorial race in May.

Such a scenario, with family members pitted against each other in the political arena, according to the senator, sets a "bad example" to the public.

That kind of thinking (or unthinking) evokes images of the classic picture of somebody burning his house to get rid of a mouse hiding in it.
