Watch the satellite TV and listen to your radio broadcast from the country. Most of our kabaleyans now are shouting for the truth to come out. People are peeling out of the stonewalling of the government.

If people wanted to be meek and believed that it could solve the problem, then Manny Gaite really gave half a million pesos to Lozada a stranger, because he is a good Samaritan from the book of his sister and brother.

MLK and Gandhi, were they the meek types or did they fret? How about something closer, Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora or Ninoy?

Rich and Famous

Pangasinan’s western coast is one of the province’s most beautiful and economically valuable natural resources. The shoreline stretches for more than 100 kilometers from the Dasol Bay to the Lingayen Gulf and links a dozen municipalities including Infanta, Dasol, Burgos, Agno, Bani, Bolinao, Anda, Sual, Labrador, Mangaldan, San Fabian and Lingayen, the capital town, plus the cities of Alaminos, home of the Hundred Islands National Park, and Dagupan, considered as the province’s commercial center.

Usec. Villar rides again!

By Ermin F. Garcia Jr.

Usec. Bebot Villar is like a square peg in a round hole in the GMA government.

He would have been the first senior GMA official to resign if he had not been prevailed upon to stay on by his direct boss, President Arroyo. But unlike the resignation sought by the group of ex-cabinet officials to see GMA abandoned, Usec. Bebot’s unilateral resignation would have been the first resignation out of sheer loyalty to his Bosswoman not as a fall-out from the NBN-ZTE scandal.

Jueteng in perpetual motion

By Gerry Garcia

OFF-the-cuff rundown on what makes the GMA regime most “evil”. After joint agreement with ASEAN for stand-off vs. China in the Spratlys RP suddenly left on its own and joined China on a joint seismic “exploration” of RP’s which gov’t politicians and bureaucrats could skim $400 million in kickbacks up to 2010.

Mike Enriquez’s Angels

By Jun Velasco

THE advent of March usually brings up thoughts of the hottest season of the year, starting with Lent.

It seems, as Bob Dylan celebrates it in a song, the times, indeed, “they are a ‘changin,’” as you, too, must have noticed the subtly biting air, colder than the past Christmas days.

It should be a welcome change though because we already have our fair share of heat in the political establishment.

When Speaker Joe de Venecia warned his former staunch ally, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in PDI’s colorful headline, “I fall, you fall,” we already got a feel of the heat at the top.  Every thing is tumbling down as a result, and before we know it, the political heat would become hate and would reach a point where enmity, animosity and distrust become the order of the day.

Prospects for Pacquiao

By Al S. Mendoza

THE TALK of the town is the Pacquiao-Marquez fight on March 16 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The most common prediction is Pacquiao will have a hard time against Marquez.

I can believe that.  But Pacquaio, eternally oozing with talent, can handle things with ease - as always.

Marquez (Juan Manuel) can run because, against Pacquiao (Manny), the Mexican fights like he is on board a bicycle.

Marquez did that the first time he met the National Fist in 2004.

High hopes with Durabloom among Bayambang farmers

By Sosimo Ma. Pablico

CORN FARMERS in San Gabriel, Bayambang, Pangasinan cultivating 301 hectares are placing their stakes on the bio-organic fertilizer Durabloom as they now witness the impressive performance of the crops of two farmer leaders.

Their centers of attention are the corn crops of Edgardo Abaya in Barangay Tubektubang, Moncada, Tarlac and Rogelio dv. dela Pena in San Gabriel. Edgardo, 43, resides in San Gabriel, which is to Tubektubang.

Rogelio, 54, resides at the Bayambang town center but is the chairman of the San Gabriel Segundo Multi-Purpose Cooperative, a prospective recipient of drying facilities from the Department of Agriculture. He is also the chairman of the Region I Federation of Corn Cluster Associations.

Support for a cost

By +Oscar V. Cruz D. D.

It has to be not simply conceded but accordingly admitted that the present Malacañang occupant still has a good number of followers and supporters. By and large, they come from the House of Representatives and the Local Government Officials—not to mention those simple people who are beneficiaries of her beneficial attention. This reality should not be automatically disdained much less condemned. Reason: It is a political reality that beneficiaries cannot but be grateful to their benefactor such as precisely in terms of being counted among the latter’s loyal followers and avid supporters.

Hectic Days

By Jesus A. Garcia Jr.

FOUR of the last five Sundays, I was vexed and exasperated due to the heavy workload preparing four cycling events, plus some basketball games that I covered and organized.

The latest was the much-awaited and touted Mangaldan bikefest dubbed as “Werweran” held last Sunday and the basketball Goodwill Games last Monday at Macario Ydia Development Center.

Both events were projects of Mayor Herminio A. Romero and the bike tilt was assisted by VM Pedro A. Surdilla, Jr., the town’s fiesta executive committee chairman, Dr. Demosthenis Ydia, Councilors Alberto Fabia, Johnny Valencia and this piece maker.
