Obet & Boboy T.
It's a done deal. Vice Gov Obet will tandem with Gov Niel's son Boboy, who will run for governor, in next year's election. The duo were seen together in many occasions in the province where Boboy was the invited speaker. Vice Gov Obet was best remembered as the nemesis of the Tupases especially when he nearly grabbed power from Gov Niel in the now infamous Capitol siege last 2007. How they become together in each other's arms is not surprising anymore. This is politics. As Gov Niel would say, in politics there is no permanent enemies or friends. But on the part of Vice Gov Obet it is quite surprising how he will be able to stomach the awkward situation being a young, intelligent and principled politician that he is. Ano mahambal mo Manny G.?
Abusive traffic aide
Last Thursday night a truck driver of Makinaugalingon Press was apprehended by a traffic auxiliary, certain Bornales, after his truck stopped in the middle of the road just before the Locsin-Avanceña intersection in Molo district. Bornales cited the truck's driver for “Obstruction” despite knowing that the truck stopped due to a mechanical trouble. Apparently, Bornales does not know his job as traffic auxiliary. Instead of helping direct the flow of traffic while awaiting the vehicle that would tow the truck, Bornales showed his arrogance and abusiveness by finding a violation against the driver and confiscating his license. Bal-an nya na gid nga na-aberya ang truck, obstruction bala ina? Kon maayo ulo nya kuntani gintulod niya ang truck, tan-awun ta kon masarangan niya. Traffic aide ka pa lang gani abusador ka na. Ano pa gid ayhan kon mataas posisyon sang tonto nga 'ni. Arrogant and abusive traffic aides like this Bornales does not deserve to stay a minute longer in his post. Sir Bob Foerster should kick him out immediately, he only adds to the already negative image of our traffic aides!
Toto Jesry will return
In Passi City it is already definite that Toto Jesry will run for mayor next year. Incumbent mayor Nonoy Elyzer has reportedly agreed to slide down to the vice mayorship to allow Toto Jesry's bid to return to his beloved city which he has made into what it is now. He will leave the congressional race in the fourth district to his Tito Niel and incumbent Dr. Ferj.
