Dear Ms. Eva C. Visperas,

Just want to know how are you related to Erlinda Chan Visperas - she was a very dear friend of mine back in high school (BCHS). From what I know, her dad was a teacher in San Carlos City and her mom works at U-need (Restaurant or Supermaket?) in Baguio City. She went to S.L.U in college and never heard from her again.

If by chance you are related to her, can you please extend my warmest regards to this old dear friend of mine. Would really like to hear from her.

Thanks a lot and more power to you and Sunday Punch.

 

Sincerely,

<>Maryann Victorio

Speaker JDV is truly competent, no questions asked. He would not have lasted this long if he was not. But I pity those who think he is a clean politician. You are naive. Blind as a bat.

And as one poster in this forum has noted, he is causing disunity in his own party, probably for his personal gains. I don’t want to be with his type of a person when the going gets rough or when I’m in the darkest of nights because his type is the one that will easily drop you for another when it favors him, just like what he has done recently to some of his partymates. Look at what he is doing now, protecting his own skin by declaring Pangasinan a free zone except in his own district. Now is that the mark of a fair man?

Of course, people will still vote for him because after all, he has done a lot for his district and his constituents will surely be blinded by this. But look at what happened when he ran for President. Granted, Erap is a popular man and that helped win the presidency for him. But it showed that people around the country know the truth about JDV.

Why doesn’t JDV run for senator? He is capable, he certainly has the money. He has the Pangasinan vote at his side. Probably because he knows he can only fool his constituents in his district, but never the entire Philippines. Of course he can always say that he wants to serve his kabaleyans more. It’s just up to us if we believe him or not.

Mr. Eleo Bapaningvata,

Accusing Speaker Joe de V of vote buying is not only prejudicial but outrageously perjurious. You made up your mind on hearsays and innuendos thrown at you by the opposition for your own consumption.

What you should have done, is look deeply in JDV’s service to the people. You should have checked what he had done in Dagupan and the 2nd district and you could see with your eyes, the performance he did to compensate the people in giving him the chance to serve.

He got his shortcomings as a politician and as a person. Who doesn’t? But comparing him with The Benjie whom you’re trying to alleviate is like a 100 watt light bulb to a candle. No comparison at all.

Was JDV ever accused of incompetence, corruption in the performance of his office? Was he ever been a disuniter? Was he not a seeker of the common ground? No! You can’t find a thing.

In all these things he is exemplary, the colors of a leader. He is the kind of person you’ll like to be with when the going gets rough, when you’re in the darkest of nights.

And he should and will win, I guarantee you that. He will win because he is good for the people. He will win because he deserves it. He will win because he is unbeatable.

It comes to mind your indictment against Speaker Joe de V, in that classic western movie Shane. When they came face to face and Jack Wilson - the gunslinger - told Shane. PROVE IT!
