The first one is dated February 25, 1992. Corey was just 21. The one on the right was taken on February 22, 1994, when he was 23.
The shot were taken during Calaycay's early bids for the city council.
In 1990, at the age of 19, he ran and earned 2382 votes. Not bad for a teenager, but not enough to get him elected.
He ran again in 1992 and in 1994 but never broke the threshold. (Perhaps voters were a bit concerned about having someone who looks so young making big decisions for the city.)
In any case, the grown up Calaycay (He's now 38 and has 4 years of council work under his belt) is in the midst of his re-election campaign and appears to be the front-runner.
The COURIER will have a Q&A with the candidates to run in the Wednesday, February 18 issue. Our editorial staff will also be endorsing our top 2 choices later this month.
