It will be on thisday that we’ll choose leaders who maymake or break the country’s momentumtowards progress.On this day, we forget all speculationsand look at the numbers to help us decidewhom to vote, and then cross our fingershoping that we have chosen wisely.On this day, we forget about what otherpeople say and stick to concrete data asour yardstick for the candidates for thiselection. We need to have a solid basis forour votes since we cannot just leave thefate of our country to chances.Track records of candidates, whetherthey did good or not during their terms,and what they could offer for the nationlonging for genuine service, should be themain driving force to help us mark the rightovals on that ballot.If even the mere effort of going to theprecinct to cast our vote should be justifiedby making the right choices, then, all themore we should vote with our conscienceif we still have the slightest compassion forour country.Every three years, it is only on this oneday that we really have the power over thepoliticians in this country. It is only on thisday that they bow before us. And we havethat power to decide which direction--upwardsor otherwise--we want our countryto move.There is no easier way to squanderwhatever good future holds for the Philippinesthan by wasting our votes to candidateswho did not deserve to be elected.We all have our own dreams to see abrighter future for our children but manyhave let the realization of these dreamsbecome impossible due to their shortsightedness.It is true, we deserve the kind of leaderswe elect to power and our single vote islike a single wish to a magic genie.

Nos. (045) 435-0938If elections were held today(though it is just several hours to go beforethe polls open), incumbent PampangaGovernor Lilia “Nanay” Pinedawill definitely get her fresh mandate asprovincial chief executive.I guess that will be the Kapampangans’gift to Nanay Baby for MothersDay, which fell on a Sunday immediatelybefore the Monday polls.But, even without any ocassion precedingthe mid-term polls, Nanay deservesa gift in the form of overwhelmingvotes for her reelection if only to rewardher for her hardwork as governor for thepast three years.With Pineda as governor, the provincegot both a leader to make the decisionsthat mattered most for the benefitof the people and a mother to take careof the needs of the constituency.Kapampangans are an appreciativepeople who know how to repay the gooddeeds accorded to them in the past andthey are wise to choose a leader based onperformance.When the people thought their leadershave become too corrupt and abusive,they sent a strong message via theirvotes in the 2007 elections. They madethe same move in the 2010 polls, oustinga leader they thought did not really deliverthe promises of progress and goodgovernance.When she assumed the governorshipin July 2010, nobody expected thata soft-spoken, mild-mannered motherwould outlast the rigors of the provincialleadership. But, she more than exceededall expectations. She immediately buckleddown to work and delivered whatPitik-BulagAngelo Blancopast officials can only promise to do.Her efforts to improve the servicesof the provincial government,starting off with health, is highlylaudable. While the national governmentis thinking of privatizingthe state-run hospitals toupgrade their services, Nanaymobilized Capitol’s resources touplift the deteriorating conditionof provincial and district hospitals.I don’t know what it is withother people who cannot acceptthat the incumbent governor isdoing well in running the affairsof the provincial government thatthey even decided to run againsther while they already had a dismalrun in the last election.A large majority of Kapampangansmade their choice in2010 and they were not disappointedwith their choice. In fact,many who did not support Nanay’scandidacy in the past agreethat the governor performed satisfactorilyin her first term thatshe deserved a fresh term.The different surveys conductedin the province by varioussurvey firms all point out tothe same direction: that GovernorPineda will be reelected viaa landslide victory. Consistentlyso, Nanay is receiving more than80 percent of the respondents’nod while her counterparts arebarely hitting past 10 percent.With due respect to the other candidates,the better concede the fight toMga taga-Kuwatro Distrito,magtapatan nga tayo.

Rita), Amelia Simbul (Sasmuan), HilarioTrinidad (Arayat), Alex Tumang (Mexico), RommelConcepcion (Sta.

Tomas) and EdwinSantiago (City of San Fernando).The survey shows two-digit differences, which, accordingto them, is enough to seal the chances of gettingfresh mandates after the elections.Kambilan’s campaign has been successful as it wasable to have unopposed candidates for the local chiefexecutive positions including Mayors Jun Tetangco(Apalit), Condralito Dela Cruz (Porac), Annette Flores-Balgan (Macabebe) and Mylene Pineda (Lubao).However, it was noted that the remaining two towns,based on the survey, are still highly-contested as competingcandidates from the towns of Magalang and Bacolorhad shown almost equal strength and resourcesgoing into the final stretch of the campaign trail.With these results, political observers in the provinceexplained that the current political dominance ofthe candidates of Kambilan Party merely reflected thetrust and confidence of the Kapampangan to GovernorLilia Pineda, being the party chairperson, after sheserved them with full concern and responsibility duringher first term.“Gusto kasi ng tao na ang makakasama ni Nanay sapamamahala sa bawat bayan ay iyong totoong kaparehasniyang may malasakit upang lalo pang mai-deliveriyong serbisyo sa bawat mamamayan. Dito nakinabangang mga Kambilan mayoralty candidates. Kita namannatin sa resulta ng survey,” Antonio Salve, a political observerhere stated.Salve further noted that Kambilan candidates benefittedfrom the high approval rating of Governor Pineda.Kambilan is a local political party for Kapampanganleaders who stand united in addressing the timely needsof the people.They share the same character, courage and missionof safeguarding Pampanga against the occurrenceof poverty, illnesses, illiteracy, calamities, among othersituations that may threaten the well-being of every Kapampangan.●Courtesy of Clark International Airport CorporationFLIGHT SCHEDULEClark International AirportMONDAYOPERATOR FLIGHT NO.

There are1,081,552 registered votersin Pampanga, which has505 villages in 19 townsand two component cities.In the race for vice governor,former mayor, DennisPineda got 85 percent,while Ma. Amalia Tiglao-Cayanan garnered 15 percentin the same surveyconducted for 11 days.Pineda just turned39-years old last May 6 andwas a three-term mayor oftheir hometown of Lubao.Three-term Vice Gov.PAMINTUAN from Page 3The religious group is known forbloc voting.Pamintuan added “it’s not over untilit’s over” in response to reports that electionin the city is deemed over after thereligious group’s endorsement to Lazatin.Pamintuan even clarified that hisMONEY BAN from Page 3unduly burden businesses and theeconomy. PamCham notes that thereare still a lot of companies whosetransactions and payroll are cash dependent.Limiting their access to cashwill hamper their operations and willtrigger negative repercussions in themacroeconomy.”PamCham furthered in its officialstatement that the chamber hopesComelec will restudy the resolutionand consider its negative effect onbusiness and the economy vis-à-visthe initial objective of curbing votebuying in the last five days before themid-term election.Similarly, the Bankers Associationof Pampanga expressed “confusion”over the ban supposedly “coveringall” from withdrawing P100,000 andtransporting cash of up to P500,000starting May 8 until May 13.‘Anti-business;sabotage’In a phone interview, PamChamvice-chairman Rene Romero saidthat the money ban is “anti-business,very risky and is tantamountto economic sabotage.”“We in the business sector havebeen infusing cash to let moneyflow into circulation. But the moneyDOABLE from Page 3smooth and easy flow offloodwater particularly duringrainy season,” Pelayosaid.To properly implementthe rehabilitation of the river,he will utilize his priority developmentfunds (PDAF) forthe purchase of heavy equipmentto be donated to municipalitiesadjacent to thePampanga River.Then, he said, the concernedmunicipalities willimplement the dredgingprojects along the river whichwill be done by administration.Pelayo said he wouldask the Department of PublicWorks and Highways(DPWH) to strengthen theintegrity of the foot and slopeof the Arayat Apalit Setbacklevee which serves as last lineJoseller “Yeng” Guiao, whois a leading candidate forFirst District congressman,was 45 years-old-when firstelected vice governor in2004.The method used wasrandom sampling and faceto-faceinterview of household-basedrespondents.The margin of error wasless than one percent.In the 2010 elections,Pineda won via landslideversus then governorPanlilio. She led by some230,000 votes over thepriest-turned-politician.Asked for his comments,Apalit Mayor Oscar“Jun” Tetangco said “thesurvey did not surprise mebecause that’s also the casein our town.”“Our aim is to give atleast 90 percent of the totalvotes cast and this is verymuch possible. My assessmentis based on my ownsurvey and Gov. Pinedareally worked very hard inthree years,” said Tetangco.Tetangco, who is unopposedfor re-election, saidDelta (Pineda) will also winvia landslide.He said that Pinedareceived recognitions andawards as former mayor ofLubao.In 2004, then MayorPineda was cited by theDepartment of Interior andLocal Government (DILG)for making Lubao one ofthe peaceful towns in thePhilippines.“Lubao was one of thethree top awardees in thepeace and order category inthat year,” said Tetangco.For her part. SecondDistrict Board MemberOlga Frances “Fritzie”David-Dizon said “the projectedhuge lead of Pinedais largely due to her performanceas governor.”“Public officials knowthat if they work, seekingre-election is a breezeor like a walk in the park.Pineda is one of the mosthardworking officials Ipolitical career was not initiated byLazatin.“He did not create me. I createdmyself by starting as a human rightslawyer. I ran in 1988 and he only joinedme in 1992 dahil wala naman siyangibang pwedeng samahan kung ‘di ako,”ban, even for just six days, will stopall that. Paano iyun? Gugutuminnila ang mga manggagawa becauseof the limit when our transactionsamount to millions? It is almostequal to economic sabotage whenbusiness activities are put undercontrol. While we understand theobjective of the Comelec resolution,and it is their mandate, togetherwith other authorized agencies andwatchdogs, to prevent vote buying,why burden the private sector withlegitimate transactions?” stressedRomero.He added that including the moneyban in gun ban checkpoints is “veryrisky and an infringement to one’sprivacy.”“Just imagine checkpoint authoritiesasking you how much cash youhave and inspecting your bag or wallet.Alam naman natin na marami parin ang mga hulidap. We in the privatesector believe it is an infringementto privacy that is why we think theComelec should recall the resolutionimmediately,” Romero said.‘Confusing’Meanwhile, a ranking official ofthe local bankers group, who requestedanonymity, shared similar viewsof defense of the provincefrom the threat of massiveflooding that would overflowfrom the Pampanga River.“Proper coordination,cooperation, convergenceand dedication among governmentofficials and agencieswill minimize the floodingin the Fourth District. Iam very sure of that,” he said.Center of CommercePelayo said he will workhard to strengthen the tradeand commerce in the FourthDistrict through the provisionof livelihood loans toindividuals, associationsand cooperatives who wantto venture into business using“one town, one product”(OTOP) scheme.To enhance the promotionand marketing of OTOP,he will institutionalize theholding of festivals in everymunicipality showcasingtheir specific products.“If in Candaba, we haveIbon-Ebon, we will alsodo this in San Luis and inMinalin. In Masantol andMacabebe, we will have fishand aqua product festivals.In Apalit, Steel Festival, SantoTomas, we will have Casketfestival, among others,”Pelayo bared.Pelayo said there is aneed to put up a cold storagein the coastal towns for thefish catch of the fishermen.“In this way, we couldhelp the fishermen in thepreservation of tons of fishthat would be delivered inother areas of the provinceand even in Metro Manila,”have met in my entire life,”said David-Dizon, who isseen frequently with Pinedasince last year.“You will really seeand feel that Nanay is verymuch loved by the people,especially the poor ones.She has touched the life ofthe Kapampangans and thegesture will remain in theirhearts and minds forever,”she added.Former San SimonMayor Rodrigo Canlas saidthat the Pineda administrationhad over P1.2 billionworth of projects in morethan two years.“What’s more amazingis that the province hassome P2 billion in savingsand is debt-free,” said Canlas.He based his commentson the latest financial andaccomplishment report ofthe provincial governmentgiven to local and barangayofficials.“Talk about sound fiscalmanagement,” saidCanlas. •Pamintuan said.Pamintuan and Lazatin wereknown allies until the latter decided torun for city mayor this elections.Pamintuan’s camp has accused hisrival of vote buying which the Lazatincamp has denied. ●with PamCham and said that the resolutionwas confusing due to the lack ofclear guidelines and official directivesfrom the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas(BSP), which had earlier assailed theComelec’s “surprise” money ban.“We cannot even advice our clientsabout the withdrawal limit becausewe have not received any directivesfrom the BSP which is supposedto be the conduit. We have yet to receiveclear guidelines. It is confusingand our member banks are at a lost,what with the millions in daily transactionsto be affected by the moneyban,” the bankers association officialsaid.He also noted that the money ban“may work on personal accounts butnot necessarily with big business accounts.”“Puwede po siguro sa personalaccounts but it may not apply to businessaccounts. The effect, even just for5 or 6 days on banking, will be enormous.Nakakatakot isipin na walangcashflow even on a Sunday or holiday.Add to that, many of our clientswill certainly invoke their rights particularlybank secrecy. We hope theComelec re-evaluates the resolutionwhile there is time,” a bank executivestressed. ●he said.Pelayo added that hewould set up district officesin all municipalities of thedistrict for the easy access ofthe indigent families who arein need of help.The congressional candidatesaid he would ask thelocal government units to allocatetwo hectares of land ineach municipality to be usedas trading post and demonstrationfarm for the plantingof vegetables and other highvalue crops.Pelayo said he will askall tricycle drivers associationto form a cooperativethat would be in-charge forthe formation of motorcycleparts business that wouldbe managed by the familiesof the cooperative members.●CAMPUS from Page 2reveal their identities.

FEATUREVOLUME I • NO. 168 • MAY 10, 2013 • FRIDAYONA ExtensionGroundbreakingCity College of Angeles asof Sept 1 2012People with the MayorEdPam’s legacies: A fulfilmentof dreams for AngeleñosByMarna DagumboydelRosarioANGELES CITY--If the year 2011 paved theway for the revitalization of Angeles from itsprevious state, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan andhis administration saw 2012 as a means to improveupon the current programs and projects that thecity government has in motion.At the same time, the year was also fruitful in termsof initiating fresh ideas and projects, while setting brandnew goals not even thought of in the previous administrations.Indeed, Angeles City is at the crest of achieving sustainableprogress and development, leading Central Luzonas one of the top local government units (LGUs) inpracticing good governance, transparency, accountability,and most notably, consistent growth.The Contract FulfilledPamintuan’s administration sought to accomplish aneight-point agenda which was drafted during his campaignfor the city’s mayoralty. It was named as the“Contract with the Angeleños” and projected massivedevelopments in aspects such as health care, education,housing, social welfare, and barangay development,among others.The contract is more than 90 percent completed andis expected to be fully completed before Pamintuan’s firstterm lapses this coming June 2013.Sagip Sapang BalenClean up driveCitations for Good GovernanceProof of its unwavering performance in the field ofgood governance, transparency and accountability, AngelesCity was cited by the Department of Interior andLocal Government for its capability to consistently be onthe list of top performing local governments in the wholecountry.This was the case once again for Angeles and MayorPamintuan’s administration, as it managed to be cited asone of the top 13 LGUs in the country along with the provincesof La Union, Cavite, Albay and Ilocos Norte; citiesof Valenzuela, Makati, Taguig, Davao, Laoag, Vigan andCabanatuan; and the municipality of Ilagan in Isabela.Another noteworthy achievement is how, for threeconsecutive years, Angeles made it to the top 10 list of bestLGUs in the country, also gauged by the DILG throughits Local Governance Performance Management Systemself-assessment tool.On EducationOne of the many promises fulfilled on the contractwas the establishment of the City College of Angeles(CCA). The college now stands proud and strong amongthe many private educational institutions already situatedwithin the city. However, instead of providing an alternatevenue for high quality education, the CCA brings in“market-sensitive” courses into the fray, which will offerprograms not offered in other colleges and universities inthe province and even in Region III.The city sees massive potential within the CCA as itis envisioned to bring about thousands of skilled and talentedAngeleños ready to serve their immediate communities.In terms of educational support, a total of 196 studentswere given scholarships by the city government throughits Public Employment and Services Office. Free internetservices are also currently available to students at the AngelesCity Library.On Economic DevelopmentSince 2010, no new taxes were imposed on the publicin the city. Despite of this, it even managed to increaserevenue collection. The City Treasurer’s Office recorded a26% increase on the city’s total income from local sourcesand a 17% increase from real property tax. This providedfor a favorable business climate in Angeles, encouragingmore investments within the city’s business community.Of course, we can’t fail to mention the transfer of theNAIA terminal to Clark Special Economic Zone whichwill most definitely provide a constant stream of businessopportunities for both international and local investors inthe near future.Local farmers also enjoy support from the city governmentthrough several trainings on alternative farmingmethods and entrepreneurial skills have been madeavailable all year round through the City Agricultural Office.Pamintuan’s administration has also placed greatimportance upon socialized housing for Angeleños andgovernment employees. According to the Local UrbanPoor and Housing Office, the city has assisted more than3,000 families in acquiring land titles since 2010. Theseinclude families from Hadrian, Old Sto.
