The
mayor of a town somewhere in Northern Luzon smarted why the resolution for a
loan had been stalled by the provincial board.

“After the resolution was dilly dallied by our councillors, here is the provincial
board telling us that we still need the requirements of votes despite the
resolution mustered by a majority votes of our lawmakers,” a source told me.

A media
man privy on this back door anomaly said the mayor should emulate what other
mayors have been doing: Give the “Honorables” their share so the resolution
passes the review of the Board.
“Mga
between P10 thousand to P20 thousand bawat isa diyan ang presyo,” he whispered.
“Mura
lang naman pala,” I said.
He added
the Board know that the officials of the town earn, too since private
contractors who are going to build the projects funded by the loan will give
them their S.O.P (euphemism of cut).

Rubbing
elbows lately with some top brass of the police who were alumni of the elite
Philippine Military Academy, I asked them who will be the next chief of the
Philippine National Police in case anyone of these presidential candidates wins
the May 9 election and takes office in July first of this year.
Remember,
incumbent Chief of the PNP Director General Ric Marquez will be retiring from
office in August this year.
When I
asked if Senator Grace Poe wins who will be her fair haired boy.
The answer was a member of PMA Class 1987
because vice presidential aspirant Chiz Escudero was an adopted member of the
Class.
"Si
Grace was adopted member of PMA Class 1991, any member will be too young for the top post of the
national police," he told me when I asked if Poe is not only an
adopted daughter of action star Fernando Poe, Jr but of PMA class.
"How about si (Vice President)
Jojo Binay in case he wins?" "It would be Senior Superintendent
Gilbert Cruz" another PMYer retorted.

Cruz police rank is an equivalent to a full
colonel in the military. He is not a PMAyer but an alumnus of the Philippine
National Police Academy. "He used to be the chief of police of Binay in Makati when the latter was the
mayor," my source told me.
Cruz is now assigned as the Deputy Director of the Police Community Relation Group.(PCRG).
