DUGAY NA DIAY GIYABYAB

Ang akong misis kagabii nga-ingon nga ang propaganda bahin kang Ex-mayor Alen Caberte Acain taud-taud na nga giyabyab sa lungsod. Apan wala makita sa Observer karon lang bag-o. Ug ang akong anak miingon, "naa na man na sa "Facebook". Naulahi gyud diay ang Observer, pero "better late than never". Paabuton nato ang dugang kalamboan kay maoy giingon sa "Masa nga naglinlabot" Magbantay pod ta kay miingon sila, "Atangi ang mga sunod nga balita....", basin unya malingla ta sa mga panghilabot. Si MPDC Ariel Galarroza mitumbok niini nga pangyabyab nga "bad move".

MRDP UNDERGO CHANGE

This morning at the Municipal hall, Initao Municipal Planning and Development Officer Ariel Galarroza said the MRDP is undergoing change on the account of World Bank's new requirement.

And the Tawantawan-Kamelon road is one of those affected, he pointed out. "Naa na ra bay nabayran nga mga lubi dihang dapita", he said.

That cannot be implemented this year. It must be under the Agricultural and Fisheries Modernization Program that the office of the Municipal Agriculturist is tasked of implementing that, Galarroza added.

WHAT THE LEAFLETS SAY

Recently, the Observer was able to get a copy of the propaganda materials that were said dropped at night last week in Poblacion and other inland barangays. The copy says, it is from the group that calls itself "MASA NGA NANGLINLABOT". And what are pointed out most, are the six estafa cases filed against Ex-Mayor Alen Caberte-Acain in the Regional Trial Court of Cagayan de Oro. It shows also business entities that filed the cases handled by assigned prosecutors whose surnames appear with corresponding dates when complainants filed those in court. "Silang tanan nagpaabot kang Alen Caberte-Acain nga mobalik gikan sa Amerika aron ma serve ang Warrant of Arrest". The leaflet also says to watch for the next installment when cases against Mayor Gogoy and anomalies in the local government will they expose.

ADDITIONAL REGISTRANTS ON-HOLD

Yesterday in her (COMELEC) office, Initao Municipal Election Officer Dina Cabunoc informed the Observer that as of 13 August they registered 750 voters and pending affirmation of the ERB (Election Registration Board)this will yet wait to be added to the number of registered voters when the last election was held. The ERB, Cabunoc said is scheduled to meet here 20th this month. And the LCR, the DEPED Supervisor, and her comprise the board, she added. When asked about the separation of election of barangay officials, she said they were not yet given notice, no official information about it.

MAO RA NA SA HALF MILLION?

Monday night at Bliss, San Pedro,a resident pointed out that the newly erected Barangay Hall could not satisfy his count of five hundred thousand pesos considering what he says, only flooring, posts, and roofing, that are "nipis kaayo, mao ra na?" The resident said, the construction crew was very slow and he cannot readily accept that the "finished" project is right alright for the amount spent for that. However, the Observer talked to the one supervising the construction, prices of materials have gone up and they need additional appropriation to complete the hall, he said.
