WHOSE CREDIT?

There seems to be blowing in the wind these days in Initao as to who would get the credit for the the newly installed Bgy. Calacapan High School that is said to open next month says our source here that requested anonimity. The source said as of this month there are already 92 enrollees, this is from first to fourth years and there might be additionals when the school year opens next month. The problem, he said is that the Governor was the one who offered the school to the Brgy. Captain, and a lot for school building site was purchased. There was also the required counterpart of one hundred fifty thousand from the barangay. The source, also said that the LGU gave fifty thousand pesos and the balance was yet unclear for him what, and that the negotiation was pushed through. The problem now he says, that the mayor, other entities claim also that the school's inception was to their credit.

ORQUILLAS-RUNNING

Recently here in a meeting with colleagues in Bgy. San Pedro, the three-time frontrunner of the local opposition Cesar Orquillas declared himself running as Mayor next year's election. He told everyone there that definitely he will, and that he has been making moves even for those who will be in his line-up. Orquillas revealed that as of this time, he already has seven for the vice mayoralty slot to choose from and that his personal choice is Jeffrey Go. However, he also said this is not yet final and he is still open to negotiations. He also told the group that the province, meaning the Vice Gov people informed him that they have made surveys in Initao, and that the Cesar Orquillas-Francis Balabat tandem came upfront.

PERSONAL REASON BEHIND RESIGNATION

Yesterday by their residence, former Poblacion secretary Levita Luntayao told the Observer why she resigned and what is behind what is known, personal reason or personal desire. Mrs. Luntayao said, it is more of attitudinal problem of the Chairman that she did that and she could not extend her patience any longer, she had to leave even with heaviness of heart. She also said, her husband has been duly informed about this and they agreed that she takes the rest stay put and make the best of it. Luntayao added that she was only enduring a different treatment she got from the chairman. She had good dealings with the late Osias Janolino and Enerito Acain, former barangay chairmen of Poblacion. It is only now, she emphasized, that she got bumps that she could no longer take them easy she had to go.

NO ACTION TAKEN

The SB here, recently says a reliable source, did not take action on one member who is for long been AWOL(absent without leave) though one member proposed that this must be given due attention. The source said, the SB is liable for this and can be sued for negligence. It was pointed out that Mr. Alan Roa has been abroad and has not reported back to work and that his absence disqualifies him to continue in office as member of the Sangguniang Bayan of Initao. And that his being outside station for more than legal already means a disservice to his constituents. And here on this, the source continued, no action was taken by the SB.

SECRETARY RESIGNED

The secretary of Brgy. Poblacion Mrs. Levita Luntayao recently resigned 28 March on what Chairman Yoyong Galaroza described, her "personal desire" and was replaced by a former councilor, Lolot Acot. This was known this morning in the chairman's office and from Galarroza himself when the Observer paid him a visit there. Although this is what he thus said, the secretary has not given yet her own pesonal reason why she did that after 14plus years of service. When asked if she deserves compensation for services rendered, Galarroza answered, they don't have funds for that.
