SITUATIONER

This month, nutrition month is rather turbulent here with bigger crimes committed in the area. Just in time also that a new police station commander was installed midmonth and the departure of his predecessor. A case of suicide shocked relatives and friends of a young boy whom some thought could not do that. A BLISS resident was robbed and a sizeable amount was taken by three men, and an arrested police officer who was reported protector of drug dealers was killed along the highway of Gimangpang. He was said being brought by PDEA operatives to Cagayan de Oro.

VICTIM SUSPECTS NONE

Break-in and robbery victim Jaime Gamo said in a talk with the Observer this morning at his residence in Bliss said he suspected no one even with the carpenters/laborers that worked in their newly constructed house. He talked as if, to the Observer's notice, he has absorved the loss and said "life goes on".

SITUATIONER

Some officials here are preparing for the October elections. Others are hoping that this may be postponed. Comments at the sidelines say that the elections of Barangay officials and SK are a must going, for those, they say, who are no longer right there holding positions must get out or voted out. For according to them, extending them there is a waste of time and money. It is OK for those who are alright being there, they say, but those shenanigans, they ought not to be there anymore. On the SK, There is that need of this getting abolished, people say. Their reasons are the following; 1. They are only made tools for the powers-that-be; 2. They are being taught of dirty politics; 3. They are getting corrupted to be corrupt.

GAMOS ROBBED

Retired MSU-NAAWAN Administrative Officer Jaime Gamo and his daughter were robbed at around 1:00-2:00am in Bliss, San Pedro this morning, and according to his wife's brother in-law Dag Melendez, Php74,000+ cash and checks were taken. Police Inspector Roy Montes, the new station commander of Initao, with his men conducted on-site investigation at 8:00 am and were able to retrieve papers that were thrown. Gamo said their window grills were opened and there the robbers made their entry. His daughter, a doctor, was well asleep and whose bag that contained the loot was just behind her head was taken.

July 1 was just like the past July 1s when Newly installed local officials make it one big day! A new beginning, they say. But for some, one routine happenstance that only: the winners, the defeated that says they won, celebrate.Others look grim, with some faces grimacing. One effect of having lost a race, or one product of a seemingly lost cause and of hopeless expression. They just take it to themselves while looking forward for the next round when another contest of guts gets going again. And again, people are saying "Wa na pod project". First year-"mamawi sa gastos", second year, "mamayad sa utang", third year, "magtigum para sunod". One said, "naa uy" Kang Cong. Uy ug sa Party list nga "Awa ka Amin".
