Quote of the Day
“No President has shown so much concern for the province [than Ms Arroyo].” — Mt. Province Governor Maximo Dalog
Read the Inquirer story here. Even though I really dislike Gloria Arroyo (here and here), I must admit that Governor Dalog is correct on this one. To her credit, Gloria must have visited Mt. Province more times than all the Presidents combined. For a province which has been ignored by past national administrations, such visits are a great deal. And one cannot make that many visits without getting a glimpse of and expressing concern for the problems confronted by the province and its people.
So she’s not all bad. But let’s not also forget that she cheated her way to the presidency, that her administration is corrupt, and that her human rights record is beyond terrible.
Quote of the Day
From Goveliva Dulnuan, mother of murder victim Jocelyn Dulnuan:
“We are pleased that the people (alleged) to be responsible for Jocelyn’s murder are behind bars.”
“We are grateful for the dedication and hard work of the Peel Regional Police and for the support of the community in the GTA and friends around the world.”
“Jocelyn is in my thoughts every day and will be for a long time to come. My family and I look forward to a fair and speedy trial that will close a sad chapter in our lives and allow us to move on.”
Second Man Charged in Dulnuan Murder
From the Globe and Mail:
A second man has been arrested in connection with the killing of a housekeeper at a Mississauga mansion in October. Peel police laid murder charges on Tuesday against a labourer who was doing construction work at the sprawling home where the housekeeper was killed.
Fabian Loayza-Penaloza, a 35-year-old Canadian citizen who came to Canada from Ecuador in 1994, was arrested by Peel Regional Police and appeared briefly at a Brampton courthouse yesterday.
