The nation needs Among Ed’s victory
|
|
The inclusion of Gov. Eddie “Among Ed” Panlilio of Pampanga on
the list of possible presidential candidates in 2010 mostly likely
sent scores of provincial politicians into fits of unexplainable
rage. He has wisely announced that he is not interested in any
national office and that he would rather go back to being a priest.
They have thrown every piece of garbage in the
direction of the suspended-priest/governor, every hurdle and every
roadblock to make his administration fail. A campaign of
vilification started from Day One of the Panlilio governorship,
quietly and covertly at first and then openly and oozing with venom.

control may have arrived

control. And yet we complain when LPG traders hide their products
and to increase their prices when the shortage is felt.

Keep talking, Ping
|
|
Sen. Ping Lacson is right to keep talking about the corruption in
Public Works projects. Our problem is everybody in the Philippines
is aware of the crony contracts and rigged biddings in public works
projects but nobody wants to talk.
