Tarlac City - DETERMINED TO run for the Mayoralty Post in 2016 elections,ABC President Allan Manchoy Manalang, beeing seen to be a strong bet forthe post, but who will be his running mate is still a jigsaw puzzle that is yet tolearn from the completion of the fragmented map of the ABC President trackingits way to the highest post in the City.

At the last issue of CLBanat, an article depictingthe possible tandem ofCouncilor Anne Belmontewould hit the pols positivelyfor them have raised some

eyebrows and nod frompolitical spectators in theCity.

Cong. Enrique “Henry” Cojuangco Sr.Tarlac 1st District Representative

Lungsod ng Tarlac - HANGGANG SA NGAYON ay walapang tumatayong malakas na kalaban sa pagka- Kongresistasa unang distrito ng lalawigan itong si Congressman Enrique“Henry” Cojuangco, nakababatang kapatid ng tinaguriang“Ultimate King Maker” na si Ambassador Eduardo“Danding” Cojuangco.

Nasa huling termino na sa pagka-deputado itongsi Cong. Henry kaya inaasahang tatakbo ito sa pagka-Gov-ernor sa probinsiya ng Tarlac. Minsan na niyang pinangarapat inasam ang posisyong ito subalit tinalo siya ng datingBeauty Queen Margarita “TingTing” Cojuangco nakaniyang hipag, na asawa ng kaniyang pinsan na si Jose“Peping” Cojuangco na dati ring naglingkod bilang Con-gressman ng distritong kanyang hawak ngayon.

Ang mga nagmamasiday nagtatanong kung sinoang tatapat sa kanya upangmapigilan ang kaniyangpagpanhik sa Kapitolyo . Dalawang dekada naring naging magkaalyado sapartidong NationalistPeoples’ Coalition (NPC)sina Governor Vic Yap, anakng dating Congressman Jose“Aping “ Yap, na nakilalabilang Master Tacticianpagdating sa pulitika atCongressman HenryCojuanco.

Ang matamis na

ugnayan ay nabuo ngdalawang political family(Yap at Cojuangco) nangmakuha ni Aping Yap angpagka-Gobernador nglalawigan at talunin nitoang dating kakamping siTingting Cojuangco.

Dating magkalaban,naging magkakampi at angdating magkakampi aynaging magkalaban, subalitkung disisyon ng partidoang paguusapan, posiblepang magbago ang lahat,maaring asahan angmatamis at mapait na

Councilor Frank Dayao

Tarlac City - City Councilor Franklin Guzman Dayao, mayrun as independent to bid for the Vice Mayoralty post forthe City in the 2016 elections. Insiders in his camp told CLBanat that such plan must have been overdue for his pre-vious plans in his political career before he join the race forthe Vice Gubernatorial post in the 2010 elections.

Tarlac City- “A possible clash between siblings of the elite political clan of the Cojuangcos’is seen between the now Vice Governor Enrique “Kit” Cojuangco Jr. and the graduatingPaniqui town Mayor Miguel “Dors” Revilla, for Tarlac 1st District Congressional seat, oncethe Vice Gubernatorial Seat be open for onother NPC ally for the formation of an alliancethat would contribute in the making of a better winning chance of party members in therace” one CL Banat relaible source said.

OPINION

CasaFuegoAbel C. Pablo

SINO ANG makapagsasabi na naghihirap ang mga tarlakenyo sa mga panahongito, kaliwa’t kanan ang mga nagpapatayo ng bahay, naglalakihang gusali at mganegosyo ang itinatayo sa ating lungsod, saan ka man lumingon. Ganito ba angnaghihirap na siyudad?

Marami na ang dumaang pagsubok sa mga taga-Tarlac, nandiyan angsunod-sunod na bagyo, kalamidad, at kung anu-ano pa, pero matatag pa rin tayo,at nanatiling nakatayo. Ganyan din sa mga personal nating buhay, lalo na sa mgapulitiko, minsan ay masalimuot, minsan nama’y masaya lalo na kung maramingbiyaya ang natatanggap, kung saan man nanggaling yaon ay sila na angnakakaalam.

0-0-0-0-0-Papalapit na ang election, natatawa ako sa pag-uugali ng ilan nating pulitiko,

sa tuwing papalapit na ang political season ay para silang mga maaamong tupa,laging nakangiti, kahit ngiting aso, lagi mo na rin silang makikita sa mga barangay,namamasyal kahit wala namang okasyon. Pero nakaka-awa din ang kanilangkalagayan kasi parang wala silang karapatang magkamali o malungkot man lamang,lahat kasi ng kilos nila’y binabantayan ng taong bayan, maging ang kanilangpagtawa o pagka-galit ay pinupuna at binibigyan ng kahulugan. Sala sa init at salasa lamig sabi ng mga ordinaryong tao.

Ganyan talaga seguro ang buhay ng mga pulitiko at ilang celebrity. Kaya angilan sa kanila’y nagiging plastic na lamang ang pakikitungo sa kanilang mgaconstituents dahil na rin sa kakaibang buhay na meron sila. Sabi nga ng mgamatatanda; KUNG GUSTO MO NG MAGULONG BUHAY, PASUKIN MO ANGMUNDO NG PULITIKA! Pero bakit marami pa rin ang sumusubok na pasukin itokung talagang magulo? Sa palagay ko’y ang unang dahilan ng mga ito ay angtinatamong katanyagan, pagkakamal ng pera at higit sa lahat ay angkapangyarihan na inaasam-asam ng marami.

Kanya-kanyang laglagan na rin ang mga pulitiko, kahit kapartido ay hindi nasinisino, dahil ang personal na kapakanan ang umiiral, lalo na yaong mgamagkakalaban sa posisyon. Sa pulitika nga naman, walang kai-kaibigan kungang masasagasaan ay ang kanilang mga ambisyon sa pulitika.

Off the Air

NAGHIHIRAP NGA BA ANG MGATARLAKENYO?

MALAPIT NA ANG ELECTION KAYAUSO NA NAMAN ANG LAGLAGAN

WE HATE to be ruled by anybody who doesn’t belong to ourrace, our predecessors fought and died for the freedom theyyearned to be enjoyed by us who are living today, they despisedthe Spaniards who ruled in our lands in more than three centuries.Jose Rizal wrote books and articles stimulating the minds ofthe brave and was aroused to revolt.

Andres Bonifacio, sharpen his bolo and led the Cry ofBalintawak. Apolinario Mabini fought though lame and ashy,Gregorio Del Pilar died in a hill fighting.

We must have enough inspirations and reasons to standbrave and aggressive against any aggressors. To go againstthose who sow fear and terror, to those who wanted us softenwith trepidation to make us their slaves.

But what happens when we were left on our own? Whenthis country ruled by sharing of power in the Philippine-AmericanCommonwealth, our predecessors were not happy, the presenceof the American lords was an image of annoyance, bothersomeand exasperating. They wanted to have a country of their ownand enjoy the peacefulness of being independent.

It cannot be surprising for then Philippine CommonwealthPresident Manuel L. Quezon to say, “I would rather have a countryrun like hell by Filipinos than a country run like heaven by theAmericans, because however bad a Filipino government mightbe, we can always change it.”

“How bad a Filipino government might be, we can alwayschange it”, with this we must want to believe that Quezon haveso much faith in the Filipinos’ capability of changing.

Now that we have that independence (as we arecelebrating every 12th of June), as we read in the introductionof our constitution assuming sovereignty of governance to ourown country, how much trials do we need to endure for us tolearn, to finally embrace an appropriate system of governance.A system government that could end the undue influence of theoligarchs and make entrepreneurship becomes the tool for thedemocratization of wealth and the public money can be free fromthe control of pseudo servants of the poor.

Public funds are to be used as investment that wouldstimulate economic activity to the communities of the ordinarycitizens and those in power will protect these funds siphoned tothe pocket of the very few through devious schemes.

Destroy Political Dynasties, Kamag-anak Incorporated,Kumpadre Systems, Kainuman Syndicates, ka-MistahConnections, Hoodlums in robes, Fixscal Schemes anderadicate red tape into its smallest parcels.

These we perceive to be possible until Oligarchy ceasedto exists.

Oligarchy Exists

WHO MAY be contesting for the gubernatorial post comes 2016? Iheard a lot of stories and I can’t help pondering on intricacies of ourlocal political system here that is tinted with so many stories ofbackstabbing incidents.

Lest we forgot

I heard an old story about a candidatefor governor who made it appeared to thepeople that an accord is already madebetween his opponents that they agreed toexercise sobriety in their upcoming fight forthe gubernatorial seat. Trusting to theperceive sincerity of the other, the incumbentgovernor who was unperturbed that withthe assurance of no dirty tactics that hisopponent may employ, he went into arelaxed and unpretentious approach to theelectorate convinced with himself for thebacking of the mass majority of the votingpopulace.

Few days before the election date, theother guy went to the house of the relaxedgovernor, along with him was his aid holdingtwo bags made of pandan commonlyknown as “bayung” in vernacular filled withvegies as his present as a token for anhonest and clean battle they are apt to in avery near date.

The incumbent governor remainscomposed and calm for he doesn’t expectany devious scheme brewing from hisguest’s mind. Until when they left his house

and the aid stumbled down and spectators saw thatthe empty bayungs and being curious to what was inthose bayungs that were brought to the unperturbedopponent, he asked the aid and the aid told the poorspectator that it was a huge amount of money and thatthe incumbent has sold his candidacy to his boss.Then a schemed rumor spread out to the wholecommunity that the incumbent governor is no longerinterested for the position in lieu of the payoff.

It became a talk of the town at the market place, atthe cockpit arena and elsewhere in Tarlaccommunities. The incumbent governor was not muchaware of the magnitude of the damaging effect thatsimple gossip could bring to his candidacy. Byemploying a devious tactic the scheming guy wasproclaimed winner and the trusting incumbent governorresorted to contest the deceitful act in court. He wonbut never redeemed his post.

The wily guy teamed up with his comrades in theelite class, then called “Alta-Sociedad” and stage anew scheme that would look like a win-win solution tothe issue. The protesting guy was given an irresistibleoffer. Who can resist a cabinet post in Malacañan withthe honor and opulence of residing with the highestman in the land? Whether he grabs it or not, thatwasn’t told to me.

Isang matandang babae ang sa aki’y, nagbulalas ng himutokSa ginawa ng opisyal sa lungsod, na sa gawain ay mapusokItinuring niyang sa buhay, ay isang mahirap na pagsubokIto daw sa kaniyang kalagaya’y isang pakikipaghamok

Sa pakikinig sa istorya ng kaniyang sinapit na pagsubokKaniyang sinabi na itong tsekwa’y walang pusong tumitibokWalang pakundangan sa mga taong sa kahirapa’y nalulugmokUmano ito’y berdugo ng mga naghahanap buhay sa side walk

Kakarampot na paninda ay kaniyang ipinakumpiskaPati payong na silongan ay walang habas na dinalaPagkat ito ay basura sa tingin daw nitong tsekwaSa kalungkutan nitong ale, ‘di mapigil ang pagluha

Bakit naman sa dinamidami ng maaring maupo sa City hallIto pa ang nilagay ni Mayor Manalang, na amin pong ina-aydolIsang tsekwa na pati pobre’y walang pakundangang hinahabolTsekwang walang kiber, na sa gutom kami ay mangadedbol

Aleng pobreng naghimutok, sino kayang tinutukoyNa tsekwang opisyal, na sa tingi’y tila shokoyNa sa dagat ay umahon, sa lupa na lumalangoyAng kawawang ale nama’y lumuluha nananaghoy

ANG SABI ng ilang pulitiko, POLITICS IS POWER &MONEY! And every body is aiming for that! Okay langsana,pero halos lahat kasi ng mga pulitiko natin ay hindimaganda ang target sa pagpasok sa pulitika, pang personalang kanilang hangad, kaya marami sa ating mga pulitikosa ngayon ay pagpapayaman ang nasa isip, kung titingnanpo natin, kabago-bago pa lang nila sa larangang ito peroyumaman na agad. Hundred fold na ang kinita sa looblamang ng isang taon, nabawi na ang gastos sa kampanya,dumami pa ang pera at ari-arian. Ganyan talaga segurokadaling yumaman sa pulitika.

Meron nga akong kakilala, bago at bata pang pulitikopero magaling nang makipag-deal kung pagkaka-perahanang pag-uusapan. Lagi itong busy kaya madalas na absentsa konseho, at take note, sayang ang sinahod ni juandela Cruz sa pulitikong ito kasi mahigit isang taon na itongnaka-upo pero wala pang nagawang ordinansa, kasi hindinaman talaga yun ang kanyang prayuridad, dahil ang aimnito sa pagpasok sa pulitika ay ang magkamal ng peramula sa kaban ng bayan.

Marami itong ipinangako sa taong bayan noong ito’ynangangampanya pa lamang, subalit hanggang ngayonay wala pa itong natutupad sa kanyang mga ipinangako.Busy ito sa paghahanap ng mga buyer ng sasakyan muladaw sa BOC o CUSTOMS! Iba na talaga ang malakasano? ikaw na nga naman ang maging pamangkin ng isasa mataas sa CUSTOMS.

Kaya nasisira si President Noynoy dahil na rin sa ilangtaong nasa paligid niya na nagsasamantala. Kung susuriinmo, wala naman itong pera noon, pero ngayon ay mayamanna itong si konsehal tulad ng daddy n’ya.

Tanging ang pasiya ngpartido angmakapagbabago nito. Sangayon anya ay naka-porma si Manalang nalumaban sa pagka-Con-gressman ng 2nd District.Sa darating na mga araw,ang mga nakikita atnalalaman natin ngayonay maaring magbagodagdag pa ni MayorManalang.-ACP

major causes are diabetes, highblood pressure, internal in-flammation of kidneys, infec-tion, drugs, and hereditaryconditions,” Diwa said.

In the forum facilitated byPIA Bataan manager JoseMari Garcia, the nurses wereasked to write down theirdoable pledges on how totake care of their kidneys.
