Gentlemen:

Being absent from the Forum for a few days, I missed the action.

With these proposals left and right, it's better for us to sit down and look at what is the most feasible to do, whether a street for Ermin Garcia, Sr. or a statue for him. I totally agree on proposals to honor a journalist who died on what he believed in.

To have or not to have, I rather have a statue for him. We would have to have it, where it all started . . . Dagupan. This statue should be enshrined in the plaza with the likes of Rizal and all those who fought of what was right. It could be in bronze or stone, whatever it takes.

And for a street. . . a street is a street with just a sign . . . unmindful to passersby. . . and what we get is not enough bang for the buck.
