Personal interest
It seems using the august hall of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to advance the personal interests of the board members is becoming a fad. A few months ago Provincial SK Federation president Giuseppe Karl Gumban used his privilege hour to lambast those who "persecuted" his policeman uncle. Very recently, Provincial Liga ng mga Barangay president Jeneda Salcedo also delivered a strongly worded privilege speech hitting on Senior Insp. Leroy Rapiz of the 608th PNP provincial mobile group. One observer commented: Sugod nagpungko si Jeneda bilang presidente sang ABC sa probinsya wala gid sya ka-privilege speech parte sa kahimtangan sang mga Kapitanes pero parte gani sa pamilya niya dasig sya. What can you say Lando?
Hernan vs. Indo
Politics is rearing its ugly head this early in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo. Mayor Hernan Biron and Vice Mayor Pedro Hautea have started throwing invectives against each other over the airlanes. Ang malain kay sa ila away nga duha ginadalahig pa nila ang iban nga wala labut. Hoy! Kon mamulitika kamo suloha niyo indi na pagdalahiga ang iban.
Ompoy on Z100-FM
More and more people have made a big switch to veteran broadcaster Ompoy Pastrana's morning program over radio station Z100-FM. Compared to other programs on the FM band on the same timeslot, Ompoy's KBL or Kalingawan, Balita, kag Lapdusanay sa mga impormasyon kag isyu is one of a kind – it does not only entertain listeners but also gives them a lot of news and information to start up their day. With Ompoy in the program is political analyst Jun Lojero and broadcaster turned newspaperman Roy Cejar. So, instead of listening to the usual crap morning programs on FM where you get nothing but sick jokes and useless blabbers try tuning in to Z100 and start your day right.
