Cadio vs. Boboy
Cops in Pavia, Iloilo are sandwiched by the political feud between Mayor Cadio Gorriceta and the Syjucos, specifically TESDA's Boboy. Reports said four cops have been charged by the Syjucos for removing their billboards installed along the road. The cops merely followed Gorriceta's order not to allow billboards without permit. Naturally, it is within the authority of Mayor Cadio to regulate billboards in his town. It is expected that Mayor Cadio will not abandon the four innocent cops hit by Syjuco's ire.
No senior citizen discount at EVZ
Attention Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) officials. EVZ Generic Center located in front of the Western Visayas Medical Center (commonly known Provincial Hospital) in Mandurriao blatantly violates the Senior Citizens law which provides 20 percent discount for senior citizens. No less than our reporter Maricar Calubiran discovered this illegal practice of EVZ when she bought medicines for her mother who is currently hospitalized. She was surprised that despite presenting the senior citizen's ID of her mother EVZ did not grant her 20 percent discount rather it only gave her 2 percent discount. The reason according to the sales clerk is that the senior citizen's discount don't apply to branded medicines. Mga tonto! They should know that the law does not distinguish in the implementation of discounts for Senior Citizens. Nagbutang pa kamo slogan nga “Murang gamot na kayang maabot – Tulong pasyente” tapos mga kabalan man lang gali kamo! Ms. Calubiran is preparing her complaint to the DOH and DTI in order teach abusive drugstores like EVZ a lesson. Watch out!
Arrogant man
A diminutive person who pretends (or believes) that he is part of the Governor's circle has become arrogant. Actually, he is a supplier of fertilizers and other agricultural products but he frequents the governor's office probably to build good relations so he could make some deals. “Masobra pa siya sa mga bulldog ni Gov kon maghulag-hulag,” a Capitol insider said. “Feeling niya daw bata-bata man siya sang gobernador,” the insider added. More on this arrogant person in the following days. Abangan!
