"A Journey Into The Light For Aklan"
It is ironic that Ms. Calizo said this:

"...Here is Aklan tolerating wanton development in the Island of Boracay and allowing the unregulated sale of its land to foreign investors which could ironically result to an island which in the next few years might no longer be owned by the Aklanons and the Filipino people."
When part of her team in Malay is the present mayor of Malay. Whoever is squarely to blame about what Ms. Calizo is complaining is her teammate Mayor Cawaling.
Do we trust politicians who speak one way and do another way? They should be relegated to the dustbin of history like Ms. Calizo’s trash can projects when she was our representative in Congress.

RESPONSE
(The above is your personal opinion which may not reflect that of this newspaper. This May 14 election is the big chance of the voters to relegate "All" politicians to the "dustbin" who speak one thing but do another. Editor)

Comments to EF’s Bagsakan Center column issued on April 8-14, 2007. Ed.

"Without the benefit of reading the justification for building the center, we can focus on one entity responsible for the operations - Mayor Jeremy Fuentes.
Is this the reason Governor Marquez just smiled when you asked him (?) It is not his responsibility. His is only to remind the mayor to operate it.
The people of Banga have to demand an explanation from the mayor. The mayor can not reason out that he was not the one who decided to have the center. He is part of the implementation, so he has a tacit approval of the center.
Whose team is with Mayor Jeremy Fuentes? Mayor Fuentes candidates for provincial positions have to rationalize their campaign platforms vis-a-vis Mayor Fuentes role in the non-operations of the center."

RESPONSE
(A Governor of a province has the duty to assist if not lead in the operationalization of any government facility in his province. He has both the moral and legal persuasion to make Bagsakan Center operational. Ed)
