I’m with you in hoping that our CAR politicians would be able sana to showcase democracy; and I hope a more egalitarian one. Eh ang problema ay sila yata ang nahahawa sa style ng democracy sa lowlands so we now have emerging Igorot political dynasties and political violence (as seen in the Diasen case).

I think it is about time political leaders of the former BIBAK provinces should include in their campaign speeches the preaching of peace every time they open their mouth in rallies. Hopefully this would stop fanatic followers from killing opponents. Hopefully we Igorots can showcase democracy wherein we are free to criticise anything including corruption without fear of being shot. Politicians would not need a security then. I am not from Kalinga but I have met some of your leaders in Baguio City wayback like Wacnang. Like anonymous, I now live overseas and elections here are very peaceful.

Hi TruBlue,
They have now identified a suspect. Hope he is not Mr. Galman.

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for visiting us and for your comment. Its good to know that there are people like you who are voicing out their appreciation for Diasen’s contributions to Tabuk.

In fairness to Wacnang, I’m sure he filed the bill (now a law) which converted Tabuk into a city. Although like you, I hope there will be a new breed of Cordillera politicians just so we won’t be seeing the same old faces.

Thanks again for visiting us and we hope you continue to visit in the future :-)

I'm from Tabuk but now living overseas. Former Mayor Diasen had done great contributions in improving Tabuk as far as I can recall. He is basically the most prominent and great rival of Wacnang, the three-time incumbent Congressman of Kalinga, who, as far as I can recall, has not sponsor or introduce any bill in the Philippines Congress. What I can recall is seeing those big billboards with his name claiming that he is improving the roads between Kalinga and Isabela! He's a Trapo. Wake up kakailians nga taga-Kalinga! Are you not tired of the same faces running our province? Very sad indeed! I’m from Tabuk but now living overseas.

Agree w/u Bill, cops will just pick up an innocent patsy to end case.
