Ms. Ric 27 Mar 2007 What kind of disaster are these Dagupan City health workers preparing for… Headaches, scrapes, and cuts? These “disaster preparedness kits” do look attractive and colorful, but what exactly is in these kits the size of a woman’s purse? And is that JDV’s picture emblazoned across the front?

Eduardo Pontaoe 27 Mar 2007 On the assumption Gonzalo’s talking about is unimpeachable, the Cayetanos are in deep muck all the way to their keisters. One of them is in violation of Republic Act No. 9225…Citizenship Retention and Re-Acquisition Act of 2003, which Section 5, Item 2, states unequivocally to wit: Item 2: Those seeking [...]

Leo F. Rosario 26 Mar 2007 Dear Mr. Garcia, I enjoy reading all your articles. You call spade a spade. Could you ask the Honorable Joe De Venecia, how come he can not modernize the road going to Tondaligan since it's a tourist spot in Pangasinan? With the millions worth of pork barrel he [...]

A Time to Remember All the candidacy pronouncements, retractions, and indecisiveness for the past several weeks have been dizzying, to say the least, for the voting population of Pangasinan. Just to cite a couple of examples, there's retired Philippine National Police Chief Arturo Lomibao, who earlier said he is 99.99% sure of competing for the [...]
