LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, May 10 (PNA)-- Though six more election returns from as many towns of Pangasinan are still being awaited by the Provincial Board of Canvassers here, Board Member Amado "Pogi" Espino III already appeared to be the run-away winner in the race for governor of Pangasinan with insurmountable 700,488 votes to his credit.

The son of outgoing Governor Amado Espino Jr. clearly looked like he is going take over the legacy built by his father for almost nine years as head of the province when he erected more than 200,000 lead over his lone rival, former Congressman Mark Cojuangco of the fifth district of Pangasinan.

Cojuangco, son of business tycoon Eduardo Cojuangco, garnered 489,442 votes while a third candidate, Zaldy Salvador, an independent, accounted for 6,442 votes.

The race for vice governor is close between Espino's teammate Jose Ferdinand Calimlim who has 539,720 votes so far and Cojuangco's running mate Mark Roy Macanlalay with 535,520 votes.

Meanwhile, independent candidate for vice governor Myrna Torralba accounted for 17,629 votes.
