They first established their Zubiri – Calingasan tandem in 2001. Zubiri served as governor for 3 consecutive terms before he swapped places with Calingasan.

Theirs was not a smooth sailing political partnership, however. There were reports that the two were on bitter terms after Zubiri accused Calingasan of various issues including funding a radio commentator’s regular attack against him. Calingasan has denied Zubiri’s accusations. The two allegedly made peace in August.
