Barbers and the Matugas couple, General Luna Mayor Sol Matugas and her husband, former governor Francisco Matugas, were at bitter political odds during the local elections last May. Francisco, who was then seeking a third and last term, was defeated by the returning Barbers, who was governor from 2001 to 2007.

The governor’s cup will be held in Tuwason surfing spot from October 5 to 9 and at Tangbo Point from October 10 to 13 in Sta. Monica town. It also aims to give the much-needed boost to the tourism industry of Siargao Island by introducing other equal world-class surfing spots outside of Cloud 9.
