To the Honorable Mayor Simplicio Rosario:

If only the Governor and all the mayors of towns and cities abutting rivers are also honorable like you and follow your example, there will be abundant fish in Pangasinan and there will be less frequent occurrence of red tide. I always thought before that Pangasinan is lucky to have a Governor who is a civil engineer, but I was dead wrong. His performance in protecting the environment is the same as “OORONG-ORONG” OSCAR ORBOS.

A friend told me that the reason why most of the mayors and the Governor can not stop fish pens like jueteng is because of money and politics. Mayor Benjie Lim did some dismantling before but it did not go far enough or maybe something happened. I noticed that if an activity generates a lot of money, like jueteng, illegal drugs, fish pens, politicians and the police or those in power appears to be powerless to stop it. Like GMA is powerless to stop corruption so she always makes the pronouncements to stop corruption over and over. Para may naririnig naman ang Pinoy na medyo magandang pakinggan.
