Bangus Festival accountability

The people in-charge in the yearly Bangus Festival are intentionally ignoring the demand for accountability. Unless there is a formal complaint against them filed in court for corruption, they will continue with the same activity every year.
We know for a fact that the Punch editor had repeatedly asked for financial report and so are the other posters including myself and to date there is no response from the people involved.
This is just a classic example of corruption that is allowable in the Philippines. I say allowable because for how many years, after people demand for financial reports, the people responsible remain mute and deaf. People should not even ask for financial reports. It should be readily available for anyone who asked for it.
"Ay naku, nakakahiya kayo baka sabihin nang mga tao ibinulsa nyo na yong pera nang bayan. Siempre and sasabihin nang mga tao ay kaya kayo yumaman dahil kurakut kayo." Wow, it is a disaster in the making if Dagupenos will vote for the the candidates who are involved in the Bangus Festival financial scam.
This issue should be brought up during the campaigns for the people to know and I hope this yearly celebration in Dagupan will be in good hands in the years to come.
Mr. Al Fernandez and Ms. Belen Fernandez, please see to it that there is a clean accountability in your administration when you again take over the leadership in Dagupan City.
God Bless our city and the Philippines.
