Entrepreneurial Farmer


Ambrosio R. Villorente
Being Scanty In Praises
Hon. Madeline A. Regalado filed a proposed resolution to commend the outgoing members of the Sangguniang Bayan (SB) of Kalibo. The honorees are Hon. Ariel Fernandez, Hon. Melanie Tolentino, Hon. Glenn Sucro and Hon. Arnaldo Tejada. Hon Sucro is abroad while Hon. Tolentino, Hon. Fernandez and Hon. Tejada has fulfilled their three consecutive terms and therefore barred from running for another term by election laws.
However, Hon. Regalado withdrew her resolution on the matter due to the seemingly reluctance of some SB members of Kalibo to sign the proposed resolution. All the Kalibo SB members are amendable to approve the resolution but some will not sign it.
What a shame! Approving it without signing is tantamount to disapproving it. Who is not willing to commend a colleague for nine years in the SB Kalibo? Who does not like to see his/her signature in a resolution of commendation being hung on the walls of the home of the honorees? The signatories to the resolution of commendation exhibit their well wish to a colleague. He who recognizes good deeds is recognized more. Why are they be lavished on criticism if they are scanty of praises?
Who Is That Principal?
Who is that principal who "does not issue certification because I was not yet principal at that time?" Who is that principal who dictates to his teacher whom to receive medals? Who is that principal who deletes from payroll some names of his teachers? Who is that principal who reduces performance rating of his teacher because "it is personal between her and me?"
He is a principal of a secondary school at the eastern part of Aklan. He will be identified, after our own verification of facts.
Aklan SP Commends Media
Among the best accomplishments of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) of Aklan is its approval of Resolution No. 07 – 175 approved on June 13, 2007. It is a "Resolution Commending The Aklan Media For Their Significant Contributions To The Successful Holding Of A Credible And Peaceful Local And National Elections In The Province Of Aklan On May 14, 2007".
Hon. Plaridel M. Morania sponsored the said resolution, attested by Ronquillo C. Tolentino, Vice Governor and Presiding Officer and approved by Carlito S. Marquez, Provincial Governor.
The Entrepreneurial Farmer wishes to thank the SP for the commendation as Madyaas Pen is among the media in Aklan.
Who Owns Union Bank?
EF received a text message informing him that "Union Bank is owned by the Arroyo’s". According to a letter Madyaas Pen received, the "stock ownership of Union Bank as of December 2005, is as follows: 1. Aboitiz Group of Companies - 49 percent, 2. SSS - 27 percent, 3. Insular Life Assurance Co. - 19 percent, and 4. Publicly owned - 5 percent."
The letter was signed by Herminio M. Pugeda, Executive Vice President of Union Bank. If that text message is true, then the 5 percent maybe that of the Arroyo family.
Despite MalacaƱang directive for heads of government owned and controlled corporation, to file their letters of resignations, until this writing, Mr. Winston Garcia has not complied with the directive as president/chief operating officer, GSIS. /MP
